Conditions
Understanding Corns & Calluses
Corns and calluses are areas of thickened skin that develop in response to repeated pressure or friction.
- Calluses are broader areas of hardened skin, often found on the sole of the foot
- Corns are smaller, more concentrated areas of thickened skin that can press into deeper tissues and become painful
They are the body’s way of protecting the skin, but when pressure continues, they can become uncomfortable or painful.
Common Causes of Corns & Calluses
Corns and calluses typically develop due to:
- Repeated pressure from walking or standing
- Poorly fitting or tight footwear
- Foot deformities such as bunions or hammer toes
- Abnormal walking patterns or biomechanics
- Increased activity levels or load through the feet
In many cases, the underlying cause is related to how pressure is distributed across the foot.
Signs and Symptoms to Look Out For
You may experience:
- Pain or discomfort when walking or standing
- Hard, thickened areas of skin on the foot
- Small, raised lumps with a central core
- Tenderness when pressure is applied
- Areas of skin that feel rough or hardened
Corns are often more painful than calluses due to the way they press into the surrounding tissue.
Why Corns & Calluses Keep Coming Back
One of the most common frustrations is recurrence.
This often happens because:
This often happens because:
- The underlying pressure or friction has not been addressed
- Footwear continues to place stress on the same area
- Biomechanical factors are not corrected
- The skin is repeatedly exposed to load
Simply removing the hard skin without addressing the cause often leads to the problem returning.
Our Approach to Corns & Calluses
At NK Active, we take a structured approach focused on both relief and prevention.
Assessment and Diagnosis
We begin with a clinical assessment to understand:
- Where the pressure is coming from
- How your foot is functioning during movement
- What factors may be contributing to the problem
This allows us to treat the cause, not just the symptoms.
Treatment and Removal
Treatment may include:
- Safe removal of hard skin using specialist instruments
- Reducing pressure on the affected area
- Immediate relief from discomfort
This is carried out in a sterile clinical environment by experienced podiatrists.
Preventing Recurrence
To prevent the problem returning, we may recommend:
- Footwear advice to reduce pressure and friction
- Custom orthotics to improve load distribution
- Gait analysis to assess movement patterns
- Ongoing foot care where appropriate
Addressing the underlying cause is key to long-term results.
