Corns and calluses are common foot conditions caused by repeated pressure or friction on the skin. While they develop naturally as the body’s way of protecting the foot, excessive build-up of hard skin can become painful and uncomfortable when walking.
At The Foot Clinic Paignton, our experienced podiatrists provide safe and effective removal of corns and calluses. Treatment relieves pressure, reduces discomfort and helps restore comfort and mobility.
Why Corns and Calluses Develop
Common Symptoms
- Hard or thickened areas of skin
- Pain when walking or standing
- Raised hardened areas on toes
- Dry or rough skin on the feet
- Pressure points caused by footwear
