Corn and Callus Removal in Gateshead
Do you feel like you’re walking on a pebble? Hard skin (callus) and corns are your body’s way of protecting itself from pressure, but when they become too thick, they cause sharp, localized pain. At Podiatry Plus Team Valley, we provide immediate, painless relief through professional debridement and corn enucleation.
What is the difference?
Callus: Large, flat areas of thickened skin, often on the heel or ball of the foot. If left untreated, these can crack (fissures), leading to infection.
Corns: Smaller, deep “plugs” of hard skin that press on nerves. They often appear on toe joints or between toes.
Why see a professional?
Avoid “corn plasters” and bathroom surgery! Pharmacy treatments contain acid that can burn healthy skin, especially dangerous for those with diabetes. Our HCPC-registered team uses sterile, precision tools to remove the core of the corn instantly and safely.
