Corns and Callus

At Reed Footcare we can give you immediate relief from painful corns and calluses, putting the smile back on your face!

Corns and calluses are concentrated areas of hard skin that build up over weight bearing areas of the feet. These build up on the feet in response to pressure or friction within the footwear. Callus can cause a feeling of burning and discomfort in the feet and usually form over the forefoot, big toe joints and heel areas. Elderly people may have less fatty tissue in their skin, and this can lead to painful callus especially under the ball of the foot.

Corns often develop over joints and between toes and can make you feel like you have a stone in your shoe. Corn and callus removal is performed by expert use of a fine scalpel blade and then the skin may be smoothed with a file. In addition, padding or orthotics may help provide you with extra comfort.

You will be given professional advice on keeping your feet in great condition and staying as pain free as possible. Many people combine regular visits to our clinic with their own foot care at home.
