Corns & Callus Treatment At Hackney Podiatry & Health
Corns and callus are areas of thickened and hardened skin formed as a protective response to friction – for example skin rubbing against a shoe or the ground. They commonly develop due to ill-fitting footwear, altered foot mechanics, high activity levels or prolonged standing.
Left untreated, they can significantly affect walking comfort, balance and daily mobility. Painful pressure points may cause people to change how they walk, which can lead to knee, hip or back pain over time.
It’s important that you don’t attempt to remove corns and calluses at home, but instead book a visit a Podiatrist or Foot Health Professional. At Hackney Podiatry & Health, we restore your smooth skin and identify why the corns or calluses have developed in the first place. Alongside safe and effective removal, we assess footwear, gait and pressure distribution, offering practical advice and preventative care. Where needed, we may recommend insoles or orthotics to reduce recurring pressure and keep your feet comfortable and soft long term.
