Painful Corns and Calluses

Get Award-Winning Care & Relief from Pain in Waxahachie

Corns and calluses are common foot problems that appear when ground pressure or shoes rub against the skin. While they are not life-threatening, they can cause irritation. At Family Foot & Ankle Centers, we have treated thousands of people who have suffered from corns and calluses.

Causes

The difference between a corn and callus is that a corn has a center core that’s surrounded by inflamed skin. Corns can be painful when pressed, while calluses usually are not. Friction on your feet from shoes causes a hard layer of skin to defend itself against irritation that may occur. The longer the pressure continues, the worse the corn can get.

If you have a hammertoe or bunion, a corn or callus may form where your shoes rub against the toe. The types of shoes you wear can also cause corns or calluses to form through friction. Additionally, any abnormal foot function such as overly sweaty feet or standing up for long periods of time can cause corns or calluses to form on your feet.

Treatment

You can treat your corn or callus at home by soaking your foot in warm, soapy water then filing away the surface with a fine emery board. However, if the pain continues to exist, we highly recommend seeing one of our podiatrists. Our team will let you know if your corn is caused by simply wearing the wrong shoes, a deformity, or biochemical pathology.

Several treatments are available depending on your pain level, lifestyle, and activity level. We will come up with the best treatment plan for your corn or callus.
