Treatment of Corns and Calluses

Corns and calluses on the feet are the skin's way of defending itself against repeated aggressions, such as excessive pressure or friction.

Although common, they can become painful and affect walking comfort - especially if they are not treated properly.

The main causes include wearing tight or inappropriate footwear, changes in gait, foot deformities, flat feet or club feet, and doing activities that subject the feet to constant or repeated pressure.

At Centro Podológico de Lisboa we treat corns and calluses based on an individualized assessment. Our aim is to relieve discomfort, eliminate areas of pressure and act on the root causes of the problem - such as unsuitable footwear, changes in gait or foot deformities.

The treatment is carried out by qualified professionals, using appropriate instruments, in a safe and sanitized environment. When necessary, the calluses are removed in a controlled and painless manner, always respecting the integrity of the skin.

This type of care is especially important for people with conditions such as diabetes, as the risk of complications is higher. Prevention and regular monitoring are essential to prevent the lesions from reappearing.

If you feel pain when walking, have hardened areas or notice calluses appearing frequently, book an appointment with us. We're in the Laranjeiras area of Lisbon, ready to look after the health of your feet.
