What to do if you have calluses and/or hard skin on your feet?

Chiropody is a treatment within podiatry that deals with the treatment of conditions that affect the skin and nails, including calluses and corns.

Having calluses and corns on the feet is a common condition that affects a large part of the population due to repeated friction and pressure. Although they are generally not serious, they can cause discomfort and pain, especially if not treated properly. Prevention and professional treatment are essential to maintain foot health and avoid complications.

Why do calluses and hard skin appear on the feet?

If you notice that you have calluses and hard skin, they could be caused by the following circumstances:

Use of inappropriate footwear.

Bone deformities.

Bad step when walking.

Activities that involve constant pressure on areas of the foot.

Ask for a first appointment.

At Clínica Poyatos we have been helping people from Malaga take care of their feet for over 60 years.

How to remove calluses and hard skin?

At Clínica Poyatos, as leading podiatrists in Malaga, we will carry out an effective treatment to solve your problem of calluses or hard skin on your feet.

A biomechanical gait study is an essential tool for preventing and treating calluses and corns on the feet. By identifying and correcting alterations in the way you walk, you can significantly reduce the pressure and friction on your feet, preventing the formation of these annoying conditions. In addition, it improves the general health of the musculoskeletal system and optimizes physical performance, especially in athletes.

For more information or to carry out a biomechanical gait study, consult our specialized podiatrists in Malaga.

Phases of treatment.

If you suspect that a callus or corn has become infected, it is important not to try to treat it yourself and to seek help from a professional podiatrist to avoid further complications. It is important to note that podiatrists advise against the use of home treatments, as they can be harmful.

Treatment of corns and calluses by a podiatrist generally involves the following steps:

Diagnosis and evaluation

The podiatrist will examine the calluses and corns to determine their cause and severity.

A biomechanical evaluation will be performed to identify possible gait problems or abnormal pressures.

Pedicure

It involves the delamination or removal of thickened skin using specialized instruments. A scalpel is used to carefully remove the layers of accumulated dead skin.

Enucleation (for helomas)

In the case of helomas (calluses with a nucleus), the podiatrist will perform an enucleation.

This involves reaching deeper layers of the skin to extract the core of the heloma.

Heel milling

For calluses on the heels, a file can be used to remove excess skin.
