Calluses and corns

Corns and calluses are areas of thickened skin that develop as a result of repeated pressure or friction in a specific area of the foot. These conditions are common in people who spend a lot of time standing or wearing tight footwear. Corns and calluses can cause discomfort, pain, and even impair the patient's mobility.

Treatment of corns and calluses: It's important to examine and treat these areas to alleviate the patient's discomfort and prevent complications such as ulcers or infections. Treatments may include carefully removing the thickened tissue, using pads or protectors to reduce pressure, and providing guidance on proper foot care and footwear.
