Corns Callus Treatment in Adelaide
Corns calluses are thick, hard skin areas that develop to protect the body against repeated pressure or friction. They are common foot conditions, but with proper care, they can be treated effectively.
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 activities
Corns are smaller, raised bumps with a center core that can be hard or soft. Unlike calluses, corns are often more painful because they create pressure on nerves and blood vessels. Corns commonly develop on the tops of toes or between them, often due to constant rubbing from poorly fitting shoes. This can lead to additional problems such as ingrown toenails and toe deformities.
Calluses and corns can also form on other areas of the feet due to friction or repeated stress. For example, people who stand or walk for long periods may develop corns and calluses on feet, which require targeted treatment.
