Hard skin or callous can be painful on the underlying tissue if is it not treated.
What should I do if I think I have Callous?
It is important to have your feet checked by a HcPC Chiropodist or Podiatrist. There are other forms of painful hard skin lumps such as Verrucae, Corns, Fungal infections or Bacterial infections. . You may want to try to file and cream the area using an emollient. How can a Chiropodist or Podiatrist help?
After an initial consultation we will discuss your treatment options. Callous can be managed by removing the hard skin with a sharp blade and smoothing the area with files. A routine chiropody treatment should be pain free, immediate relief will be felt and after your treatment you will be given further information to improve the overall health of your feet.
