Foot Corns and Calluses Treatment in Tustin, CA
Corns and calluses form as a result of repetitive friction, rubbing, pressure, irritation, and repetitive stress on your skin. Calluses aren’t normally painful but corns are, especially when they’re under stress. If not addressed, the callus thickens, the corns develop deeper, and the discomfort typically intensifies. Dr. Charles Baik DPM, of Tustin Podiatry Clinic, is qualified to expertly eliminate corns and calluses without harming the healthy skin surrounding them. For more information, contact us or schedule an appointment online. We are conveniently located at 17400 Irvine Blvd, Suite H Tustin, CA 92780.

Without treatment
A callus, or tyloma, on the foot is caused by repeated pressure and friction, leading to the build up of thickened skin. The callus, which be may hard, dry or cracked, acts to protect the area underneath it. A corn is similar to a callus but is smaller and appears on toes rather than on the sole of the foot.
A callus or corn is typically diagnosed upon examination.
Your podiatrist can recommend simple over-the-counter treatments such as pads or pumice to decrease the calluses or corn. In severe cases calluses may require regular shaving to keep them from becoming too large.
While treatment for calluses and corns is not always necessary, it may provide you with more comfort. Larger calluses can cause significant pain. In some patients, especially when they become cracked, calluses can lead to wounds that can lead to serious problems, especially in people with diabetes.
