Calluses & Corns

Understanding Calluses and Corns

Calluses and corns are common foot conditions caused by prolonged pressure or friction. Calluses are thickened areas of skin that develop on the soles or sides of the feet due to repeated friction or pressure. Corns, on the other hand, are small, hard, and often painful areas of thickened skin that usually form on the toes. Both conditions can cause discomfort and lead to more serious foot problems if left untreated.

Comprehensive Treatment Options

At Alpine Foot & Ankle, we offer a variety of effective treatments for calluses and corns:

• Professional Debridement: Dr. McCall performs gentle removal of thickened skin using advanced techniques, providing immediate relief and improving foot comfort.
• Custom Orthotics: We design and fit custom orthotic devices to alleviate pressure on affected areas, helping to prevent the recurrence of calluses and corns.
• Footwear Advice: Proper footwear plays a crucial role in managing and preventing calluses and corns. We provide guidance on selecting shoes that offer adequate support and reduce friction.
• Medical Treatments: For persistent or severe cases, we may recommend topical treatments or other medical interventions to address underlying issues and promote healing.
