Corn & Callus (hard skin) Removal
Corns and calluses are hard or thick areas of skin that can be painful.
Corns are small lumps of hard skin. There are 3 main types:
Hard Corns (helm durum) mainly on bony parts of your foot
Soft Corns (helm molle) mainly between your toes
Seed Corns (heloma militate) mainly on weight bearing areas
Calluses are larger patches of rough, thick skin.
​
If you have diabetes, heart disease or problems with your circulation, do not try to treat corns and calluses yourself.
These conditions can make foot problems more serious.
Do Not
try to cut off corns or calluses yourself
walk long distances or stand for long periods
wear high heels or tight pointy shoes
go barefoot
​
Treatments
