Treatment for Foot Corns

Understanding Foot Corns

A foot corn is a small, circular thickened lesion on the skin of the foot that can cause discomfort and pain when walking or standing for long periods. It is often caused by friction and pressure on specific areas of the foot, leading to the formation of hardened skin.

Effective Treatment Options

At The Foot Practice, we offer a range of effective treatment options for foot corns, tailored to meet the needs of each individual. Our podiatrists are experts in diagnosing and treating foot conditions, providing personalized care to help you get back on your feet pain-free.

1. Medicated Pads

One common treatment option for foot corns is the use of medicated pads that contain salicylic acid to help soften and remove the hardened skin. These pads are easy to apply and can be an effective way to manage mild cases of foot corns.

2. Custom Orthotics

For chronic foot corns caused by underlying issues such as improper foot mechanics, custom orthotics may be recommended. These specially designed shoe inserts can help redistribute pressure on the foot and prevent the recurrence of corns.

3. Surgical Removal

In severe cases where conservative treatments are ineffective, surgical removal of the foot corn may be necessary. Our skilled podiatrists perform this procedure with precision and care to ensure optimal outcomes for our patients.

Preventing Foot Corns

While effective treatment is essential, preventing foot corns from developing in the first place is equally important. Proper foot hygiene, wearing comfortable shoes, and regular visits to a podiatrist can help keep your feet healthy and free from corns.
