Corns & Callus Treatment in Albury, Wodonga & Wagga Wagga

Corns and callus are common areas of thickened skin that develop due to repeated pressure or friction. While they may start as a mild skin change, they can become painful, especially when located over bony areas or pressure points on the feet.

At The Foot Clinics, we provide expert treatment for corns and callus across Albury, Wodonga and Wagga Wagga, focusing on relieving discomfort and addressing the reason the hard skin keeps returning.

CORNS & CALLUS

What are Corns & Callus?

Callus is a broad area of thickened skin that forms to protect the foot from repeated pressure or rubbing. Corns are smaller, more localised areas of hard skin that often have a central core and can be more painful.

What Causes Corns & Callus?

They are usually caused by repeated pressure, poorly fitting footwear, prominent bones, foot deformity, or abnormal movement patterns. If the pressure source remains, the hard skin often returns.

QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a corn and a callus?

A callus is usually a larger, flatter area of thickened skin, while a corn is smaller, deeper, and often more painful because it forms a central core over a pressure point.

Why do corns and callus keep coming back?

They often return because the source of pressure or friction is still there. This may relate to footwear, foot shape, or the way pressure moves through your feet when walking.

How are corns and callus treated?

Treatment may include professional removal of hard skin, pressure relief, footwear advice, and orthotic support where needed to reduce recurrence.

Should I cut or treat corns myself?

It is best not to cut them yourself, especially if you have poor circulation, diabetes, or reduced sensation. Incorrect home treatment can lead to injury or infection.

When should I see a podiatrist for corns or callus?

If the area is painful, keeps returning, affects walking, or becomes too thick to manage safely, professional treatment is recommended.
