Corns & Callus Treatment
Painful corns slowing you down?
Corns and calluses are two of the most common foot problems we treat. They can have a real impact on your quality of life.
But with expert care, we can provide immediate relief and prevent them from coming back. At Pride Podiatry, we don't just remove the problem — we work out why it formed and stop it from returning.

What Causes Corns & Calluses?
Corns form when your body goes into defensive mode to protect a sore point of skin. Unfortunately, the more hard skin it produces, the more painful it gets.
Pressure & Friction
Too much pressure or friction on the skin causes the body to produce keratin (hard skin) as protection — but this increases pressure and pain.
Poorly Fitting Shoes
Shoes too tight, too big, or too shallow compress the toes and create friction points that lead to corn and callus formation.
Toe Deformities
Hammer toes, claw toes, and bunions cause toes to rub against each other and against shoes, creating pressure points.
Biomechanics
The way your joints and muscles work together when you walk can create areas of excess pressure that lead to callus buildup.
Hard Corns vs Soft Corns
Hard Corns
Hard corns form on exposed parts of the foot where the skin is pressed against bone. They're rigid, compacted, and can be extremely painful — especially when pressure is applied.
Soft Corns
Soft corns develop between the toes where moisture keeps them wet and rubbery. They're caused by tight footwear compressing the toes together and can be debilitatingly painful — often more so than hard corns.
Important: Soft corns are prone to ulceration and infection. If you have poor circulation or diabetes, soft corns can lead to serious complications. Professional care is essential — don't try to treat them at home.

Frequently Asked
Questions.
Are corns a natural part of aging?
+No! At Pride Podiatry we can not only remove corns but prevent them from reforming with proper treatment. Corns are caused by pressure and friction, not aging — and with the right approach, they don’t have to be a recurring problem.
Should I use corn plasters from the pharmacy?
+We recommend steering clear of home remedies like corn plasters and corn paint. They may provide temporary relief but are prone to causing infection and don’t address the underlying issues that caused the corn to form in the first place.
Can corns come back after removal?
+They can if the underlying cause isn’t addressed. That’s why we focus on both removal AND prevention through footwear advice, custom orthotics, and targeted exercises to redistribute pressure.
Are corns dangerous for people with diabetes?
+Yes, particularly soft corns between toes which are prone to ulceration and infection. If you have diabetes or poor circulation, professional podiatry care is essential — don’t try to treat corns at home.
How much does corn removal cost?
+Your initial consultation from $155 includes a thorough assessment and corn removal. If custom orthotics are needed for long-term prevention, they start from $349.
