Calluses and Corns

Skin Care for Feet in Shirley

A callus, or tyloma, on the foot is caused from repeated pressure and friction, leading to the build up of thickened skin. The callus, which be may hard, dry or cracked, acts to protect the area underneath it.

A corn is similar to a callus, but is smaller and appears on toes rather than on the sole of the foot.

Diagnosis

A callus or corn is typically diagnosed upon examination.

For more information about Calluses and Corns or to schedule a consult with Dr. Taormino, call our Ronkonkoma, NY office at Ronkonkoma Office Phone Number 631-467-2813 or our Ronkonkoma, NY office at ; you may also use our Appointment Request form.

Treatment

Your podiatrist can recommend simple over-the-counter treatments such as pads or pumice to decrease the calluses or corn. In severe cases calluses may require regular shaving to keep them from becoming too large.

Without Treatment

While treatment for calluses and corns is not always necessary, it may provide you with more comfort. Larger calluses can cause significant pain. In some patients, especially when they become cracked, calluses can lead to wounds that can lead to serious problems, especially in people with diabetes.

One of the most informative doctor visits I've had in a long time and due to my complex medical condition of which foot problems are only one of many, this says a lot. Of all the specialists I've seen, Dr. Taormino was by far one of the most knowledgeable, thorough and provided great advice and an important referral.

Patient Testimonial by Peter S

I went to see Dr.Taormina with a pain like standing on a pebble, could barely walk barefoot. He checked it out and found a callous and promptly removed it. I walked out of the office pain free and had a great conversation with him. He even trimmed my toe nails up a bit. Thanks Doc !!!!
