Corns and calluses are thickened areas of skin that develop in response to repeated friction or pressure, commonly affecting the feet.

Corns are typically smaller, more concentrated patches that can be painful, while calluses are larger, less defined areas that form from sustained pressure. These conditions often result from ill-fitting shoes, abnormal foot mechanics, or activities that place excessive stress on specific parts of the feet.

If left untreated, corns and calluses can lead to discomfort and increase the risk of more serious foot issues. At NOVA Foot and Ankle Center, our experienced podiatrists provide effective treatments to remove excess skin, alleviate pain, and recommend preventive measures to keep your feet healthy and comfortable.
