Calluses and corns are common foot conditions caused by repeated pressure or friction. While they may seem minor at first, they can become painful and affect your ability to walk comfortably if left untreated.

At Downtown Foot Clinic, our licensed chiropodists provide safe, professional treatment to relieve discomfort and prevent recurrence.

 

 

What Are Calluses and Corns

Calluses are areas of thickened skin that develop to protect the foot from pressure or friction

Corns are smaller, more concentrated areas of thickened skin that often cause pain when pressed

Corns are usually more painful due to their deeper, focused pressure point.

 

Common Causes

• • Tight or ill-fitting footwear
  • Prolonged standing or walking
  • High pressure areas on the foot
  • Foot deformities or poor biomechanics
  • Lack of proper foot support

 

Common Symptoms

• • Thickened, hardened skin
  • Pain when walking or wearing shoes
  • Tenderness or pressure in specific areas
  • Small, raised bumps (corns)
  • Discomfort that worsens over time
