Conclusion

In summary, corns and calluses are an extremely common condition that can usually be conservatively treated. Selecting appropriate shoes, understanding the unique reasons for your callus, and seeking professional evaluation and treatment are all part of finding relief. Diabetic patients especially should be evaluated by a podiatrist at least twice per year, so that any developing foot conditions may be identified and treated before they can become problems. Surgical options are available for corns and calluses that do not respond to conservative care, and these can be further explained and performed by your podiatrist.
