Corns and Callosity Removal
About the procedure
Corns and callosities are thickened areas of skin caused by repeated friction or pressure. Removal involves careful trimming, debridement, or use of medicated treatments to reduce thickened skin. The procedure relieves pain, improves comfort while walking, and prevents infection. It is performed under sterile conditions to avoid complications. Proper footwear advice is usually provided to prevent recurrence. Early treatment prevents deeper tissue damage, especially in diabetic patients.
