Corns and calluses are thickened skin from friction or pressure. They form on toes, soles, or sides of the feet, and can feel like a pebble in the shoe. At Muthu Skin, Hair and Laser Clinic, our dermatology team provides precise diagnosis, gentle removal, and pressure offloading to stop them from returning.
Dermatologist led care, sterile technique, and gentle debridement
Exact cause mapping, footwear and posture coaching
Differentiation from plantar warts, cracked heels, and foreign body lesions
Recurrence prevention with custom pads, silicone spacers, and orthotic advice
Localised hard plug with pain on pressure, classic for a corn
Broad thick skin that cracks or burns with walking, classic for callus
Recurrent lesions despite home filing
Diabetes, poor sensation, or bleeding cracks need early care
Wear shoes with a wide toe box and soft insoles
Apply urea or lactic acid moisturiser at night to thick skin
Use protective pads on high pressure points
Do not cut at home. Gentle filing after a warm soak is safer
Replace worn shoes and hard insoles that create hot spots
A corn is a small, deep plug that hurts with direct pressure. A callus is a wider thickened area from friction.
We gently enucleate the hard core under sterile conditions, then add pads and footwear advice to prevent recurrence.
No. The dead thick skin is trimmed without pain. You may feel pressure, not sharp pain.
Not if pressure is corrected. We use pads, spacers, and footwear changes to stop repeat rubbing.
Most removals finish within 15 to 30 minutes. You can walk out immediately.
Use with caution. Strong acids can burn healthy skin, especially in diabetics. Clinic care is safer and more precise.
Warts interrupt skin lines and hurt more with side pinch. Corns hurt with direct pressure. We confirm on exam.
If biomechanics create repeated pressure points, custom insoles or met pads help. We guide or refer as needed.
Wide toe box, cushioned sole, and soft slippers. Avoid narrow, pointed, or hard flat soles.
