Corns and Callus
Podiatrists are the go to practitioners to treat painful skin complaints of the foot. These are commonly corns, callus or warts. They are very separate issues that require care and skill to treat properly. Differentiating between them is also very important for appropriate management.
A basic understanding of your unique biomechanics that cause corns or callus will be explained. We will often look at your footwear that may be causing problems. Assessing your gait and other contributing factors is also important.
A common differential diagnosis of a corn is a plantar wart or verrucae. If we diagnose a plantar wart or verrucae we have a unique, pain free treatment available that no one else in the Hills District has access to. Please see our Marigold Therapy information guide if this is of interest to you. Dr Khan will be happy to help.
