What it can feel like
Corns and callus can feel like walking on a stone, burning pressure, thick hard skin, pain under the forefoot, toe pain or discomfort in shoes.
Common causes
- Footwear pressure
- Toe shape or joint position
- High pressure under part of the foot
- Changes in walking pattern
- Reduced skin cushioning
How we assess it
Assessment looks at where the pressure sits, footwear, skin condition, toe and joint position, and whether offloading or orthotic advice could reduce recurrence.
Treatment options
- Careful removal of painful hard skin
- Corn treatment by a podiatrist
- Padding or offloading
- Footwear advice
- Orthotic advice if pressure pattern is contributing
Questions people often ask
Why does my corn keep coming back?
Because the pressure that caused it is still there. Treatment should look at both the skin and the reason it is being overloaded.
Should I use corn plasters?
Medicated corn plasters can irritate healthy skin, especially if you have diabetes, poor circulation or fragile skin. A podiatry assessment is safer.
