Callus

A callus is a thickened, hardened area of skin that forms in response to repeated friction, pressure, or irritation. It commonly appears on the soles of the feet, especially the heel and ball, where the skin protects itself from constant rubbing, often caused by ill-fitting shoes, high heels, or abnormal walking patterns.

While calluses are usually painless, they can become uncomfortable if they grow too thick. Treatment involves reducing pressure, moisturising the skin, and, if needed, having a podiatrist safely remove the excess skin.

Book yourself an assessment with one of our podiatrists and we can discuss the best treatment for you!
