Are "Hardened" Feet Making Every Step Painful? 🦶

We often ignore the skin on our feet until it becomes a problem. But if you’re noticing small, circular hard spots on your toes (corns) or larger, rough patches on your soles (calluses), your feet are trying to tell you something.

While often confused, these two conditions are distinct:

☑ Corns: Usually develop on the tops or sides of toes. They often have a hard center surrounded by inflamed skin and can be quite painful when pressed.

☑ Calluses: Larger areas of thickened skin that lack a defined shape. These are typically painless but can become uncomfortable over time.

🔹Why is this happening?
It usually comes down to friction and pressure. Ill-fitting shoes, walking barefoot frequently, or even the unique structure of your foot can cause your skin to thicken as a defense mechanism.

🔹How We Can Help
While home remedies like soaking in warm water, moisturizing, and using protective pads can help manage mild cases, persistent or painful skin buildup needs professional eyes.

⚠️ Important: Never try to cut or shave these conditions yourself at home. This is a common cause of infection and serious complications.

At Advantage Foot & Ankle Specialists, we provide safe, sterile, and effective removal of corns and calluses. We don't just treat the symptom; we look at your footwear and foot mechanics to help prevent them from coming back.

Don’t let rough, painful skin keep you from walking comfortably.

Ready for relief?

Contact us today to schedule an appointment. We offer convenient office hours and always welcome new patients!
