Are you looking for a treatment option for your corns and calluses?
Corns and calluses are hardened layers of skin that grow as the skin tries to protect itself from friction or pressure. They usually occur on the feet and toes, as well as the hands and fingers. If you’re in good health, you don’t need to treat corns and calluses unless they hurt or you don’t like the way they appear. Most people find that merely eliminating the cause of friction or pressure eliminates corns and calluses.
Clinical Presentation
A thick, rough area of skin
A hardened, raised bump
Tenderness or pain under your skin
Flaky, dry or waxy skin
Difference Between Corn And Calluses
What are the symptoms of corns and calluses?
Corns and calluses can be identified by the following signs and symptoms:
- A rough, thick patch of skin
- A raised, hardened bump
- Under-skin tenderness or soreness
- Skin that is flaky, dry, or waxy
Calluses and corns are not the same thing. Corns have a hard center surrounded by swollen skin and are smaller and deeper than calluses. When squeezed, they might cause discomfort. Hard corns are frequently formed on the tops of the toes or the outside border of the tiny toe. Between the toes, soft corns develop. Calluses are rarely painful and form on pressure points such as the heels, balls of the feet, palms, and knees. They vary in size and form and are often bigger than corn.
When should you see a dermatologist for corn and calluses removal?
Consult your doctor if a corn or callus becomes extremely painful or inflamed. Seek medical attention before self-treating corn or callus if you have diabetes or weak blood flow. This is significant because even mild foot injuries can result in an infected open sore (ulcer).
What are the Causes of corns and calluses?
Friction and pressure from repetitive acts generate corns and calluses. Among the origins of this friction and pressure are:
- Wearing shoes and socks that are too small- Tight shoes and high heels can cause foot squeezing. If your shoes are too small, your foot may slide and grind against the shoe. Inside the shoe, your foot may potentially rub against a seam or stitch. Socks that don’t fit properly might also be an issue.
- Socks are being omitted-Wearing shoes and sandals without socks might create foot friction.
- Playing an instrument or working with hand tools- Calluses on the hands can develop as a consequence of repetitive pressure from activities such as playing instruments, using hand tools, or even writing with a pen.
- Having a tendency to grow corn- Genetics may be to blame for the kind of corns and calluses that occurs on non-weight-bearing regions such as the soles and palms.
What treatment does our dermatologist recommend for treating corns and calluses?
Our dermatologist will identify corns and calluses by examining your feet. Other reasons for thickening skin, such as warts and cysts, can be ruled out with this check. The dermatologist will confirm the diagnosis by removing a small piece of hardened skin. It’s a wart, not a corn if it bleeds or displays black spots (dried blood).
Treatment:
Corns and calluses are treated in the same way. It entails avoiding the recurrent acts that led to their formation. Wearing the right shoes and utilizing protective padding can assist. If, despite your best efforts, a corn or callus persists or becomes uncomfortable, the following medical treatments may be beneficial:
- Excess skin is removed via trimming- A scalpel might be used by your doctor to trim thicker skin or huge corn. This can be accomplished during a clinic visit. Do not do this at home as it may result in an infection.
- Patches that are medicated- Our dermatologist may also apply a patch containing 40% salicylic acid. These patches are available without a prescription. She will advise you on how frequently you should change this patch. Before placing a fresh patch, try thinning the thicker skin with a pumice stone, or nail file. Non-prescription salicylic acid in gel or liquid form can be used to treat bigger areas.
- Inserts for shoes- If you have a foot anomaly, your doctor may advise you to use custom-made cushioning shoe inserts (orthotics) to prevent recurring corns and calluses.
What precautions are important after the corn and calluses removal procedure?
After undergoing a corn and callus removal procedure, it is important to take certain precautions to ensure proper healing and prevent the recurrence of these conditions. These are some necessary precautions you should follow.
- Keep the area clean: Wash the affected area gently with mild soap and warm water daily. After that, pat the area dry with a clean cloth.
- Avoid direct pressure: Try to minimize direct pressure on the treated area to allow it to heal properly. Avoid activities that put excessive pressure on the feet, such as prolonged standing or high-impact exercises.
- Wear comfortable shoes: Opt for well-fitting shoes that provide adequate cushioning and support. Avoid tight or narrow shoes that can cause friction and pressure on the treated area. Consider using padding or shoe inserts to provide additional cushioning.
- Use protective coverings: Depending on the advice of your healthcare professional, you may be advised to use protective coverings, such as moleskin or corn pads, to prevent friction and pressure on the treated area.
- Avoid self-treatment: It's important to avoid attempting to remove corns or calluses yourself after the procedure. Leave any further treatment or maintenance to our qualified dermatologist.
- Moisturize the area: Regularly moisturize the affected area with a recommended foot cream or lotion. This helps keep the skin soft and prevents dryness, which can contribute to the formation of corns and calluses.
- Monitor for signs of infection: Watch out for signs of infection, such as increased pain, redness, swelling, warmth, or drainage from the treated area. If you notice any of these symptoms, contact our professional dermatologist promptly.
- Maintain good foot hygiene: Practice good foot hygiene by regularly washing your feet, drying them thoroughly, and keeping your toenails trimmed properly to reduce the risk of corns and calluses.
