Painful corns and calluses can make walking uncomfortable and affect your daily activities. At FootMotion Podiatry, we provide safe, effective treatment to remove thickened skin, relieve pain and help prevent it from returning.
Corns and calluses are areas of thickened skin that develop in response to pressure and friction.
A callus is a larger area of hard skin, while a corn is a smaller, more concentrated area that can develop a painful core.
They commonly occur beneath the forefoot, around toe joints, on bunions and between the toes.
Common causes include:
Without addressing the underlying cause, corns and calluses often return.
Treatment focuses on both relieving symptoms and reducing the pressure causing the problem.

Most patients experience immediate relief following treatment.
Many people mistake corns and calluses for plantar warts.
At FootMotion Podiatry, we perform a thorough assessment to accurately diagnose your condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment.
If you have diabetes, it is important not to attempt to remove corns or calluses yourself. Thickened skin can increase the risk of ulceration and infection.
Regular podiatry care can help keep your feet healthy and reduce complications.
Our podiatrists combine clinical expertise with comprehensive foot assessments to identify the cause of your symptoms and develop an effective treatment plan.
Whether your goal is pain relief, improved comfort or preventing recurrence, we're here to help.
