Corns and Callus Treatment in Adelaide
Corns and calluses are thick, hard skin areas that protect the body against repeated pressure or friction.
Causes of Corns and Callus
Calluses may form due to many different factors such as:
- The way you walk
- The shape of your feet
- Deformities
- Shoe wear
- Sports
Corns are smaller raised bumps with a center core which may be hard or soft. Corns tend to be more painful as they form skin balls that put pressure on nerves and blood vessels. Corns tend to be calluses that form over joints. This can further lead to toe deformities as well as ingrown toenails. An example is corns on the top of the small toes due to constant rubbing from shoe wear.
