Calluses are a common foot condition but can lead to discomfort or complications when left untreated. Our expert podiatrists provide safe, effective care tailored to your needs.
What Is a Callus and Why Does It Form?
A callus is a thickened, hardened area of skin that develops in response to repeated friction or pressure. They typically form on the feet due to tight footwear, high-impact activities, or uneven gait mechanics. While calluses may seem harmless, they can become painful or lead to more serious foot problems if not properly managed.
When Should You Seek Professional Treatment?
While some calluses can be treated at home, you should seek professional care if they cause pain, interfere with walking, or show signs of infection. Patients with diabetes, circulatory conditions, or other medical concerns should never attempt to treat calluses on their own, as this increases the risk of complications like ulcers or infections. At Prairie Foot & Ankle PC, we provide expert treatment to safely and effectively manage your callus.
How We Treat Calluses
Our podiatrist offers several treatment options to remove calluses and prevent their return. Professional debridement is a gentle, precise procedure that removes layers of thickened skin and provides immediate relief. We may recommend custom orthotics for patients with recurring calluses to redistribute pressure and reduce friction. We also provide personalized skin care guidance to help you maintain smooth, healthy feet.
