Corns & Callus Treatment in Derry
Corns and callus are common causes of foot pain, often developing due to pressure, friction, or changes in the way you walk.
At Carlisle Road Foot Care, we provide safe, effective treatment to relieve discomfort and help prevent the problem from returning.
What Are Corns & Callus?
-
Corns are small, concentrated areas of hard skin that can become very painful under pressure
-
Callus is a wider area of thickened skin, usually on the sole of the foot
They are typically caused by:
-
Tight or unsuitable footwear
-
High pressure areas when walking
-
Changes in foot shape or biomechanics
How We Treat Corns & Callus
Our approach focuses on both immediate relief and long-term management.
✔ Professional Removal
We carefully remove corns and reduce callus using specialist podiatry instruments—providing instant relief from pain and pressure.
✔ Pressure Offloading
Where needed, we use padding and offloading techniques to reduce stress on affected areas.
✔ Footwear Advice
We guide you on the best footwear choices to minimise friction and prevent recurrence.
✔ Biomechanical Assessment
If corns or callus keep returning, we assess how you walk and stand to identify the underlying cause.
✔ Orthotics (if required)
Custom or prefabricated orthotics may be recommended to redistribute pressure more evenly.
Long-Term Management
Corns and callus can return if pressure remains.
Our focus is not just on treatment, but on managing the cause—helping you stay comfortable and reduce the need for frequent repeat visits.
