Our experienced podiatrists are here to provide effective treatments to relieve pain and prevent these conditions from worsening, helping you maintain healthy, comfortable feet.
What Are Calluses, Corns, and Bunions?
Calluses
Calluses are thickened areas of skin that develop in response to repeated friction or pressure. They often form on the soles of your feet or under your toes, causing discomfort, especially when walking or standing.
Corns
Corns are similar to calluses but are smaller and have a hard centre surrounded by inflamed skin. They typically develop on areas of your feet that do not bear weight, such as the tops and sides of your toes.
Bunions
Bunions are bony bumps that form on the joint at the base of your big toe. They occur when the big toe pushes against the adjacent toe, causing the joint to stick out and become painful.
Calluses and Corns
Calluses and corns are common foot issues that result from excessive pressure on the skin. This pressure can come from tight or ill-fitting shoes or internal pressure caused by bone structure. When the skin experiences ongoing pressure, it responds by forming a thickened area known as a callus.
Over time, the focal point of this pressure can intensify, leading to the development of a corn, a more localised and painful area of hardened skin. Fortunately, an experienced podiatrist can effectively remove these corns and provide solutions to redirect and reduce the pressure, preventing recurrence.
Bunions
Bunions, often recognised by a crooked big toe, can be caused by genetics or develop over time due to factors like shoe shape, heel height, and foot function. These bony bumps at the base of the big toe can cause significant discomfort and alter foot alignment.
A podiatrist can help manage bunions by providing custom toe spacers and assessing your foot function. This comprehensive approach aims to slow the progression of bunions and alleviate discomfort, helping you maintain healthy feet.
