Callus is a thickened, hardened area of skin usually found in an area of high pressure and/or friction. Dry skin can contribute to the formation of callus.

The ball of your foot, the tips and sides of toes and heels are common sites for callus. Some people suffer with a condition called Hyperkeratosis, which can cause an unusual proliferation of callus across the whole of the sole of the foot.

Callus can be addressed by the safe use of files and effective creams, and sometimes by changing footwear. Getting the right products for your feet is essential. If the callus is thick, it should be safely and gently removed by a Podiatrist.

At Infinite Podiatry all of our appointments include a big dose of advice to help you prevent or minimise the recurrence of callus. We stock the most effective foot creams and files and can advise you on the most appropriate option for you.

Corns are small, hard lumps of dead skin usually found on the soles of your feet or on the tops and tips of toes.

Corns are formed through pressure, often relating to poor footwear choices or deformities such as hammer toes.

Once a corn has formed it needs to be gently and safely removed by a Podiatrist. Over the counter “corn plasters” often contain salicylic acid and commonly cause damage to surrounding skin, sometimes leading to ulceration – take great care if using them.

At Infinite Podiatry we remove corns painlessly with a scalpel. We’ve done this thousands of times, so you can be sure you’re in safe hands. We will also give you lots of advice about how to prevent recurrence of the problem.

Dry heels can cause discomfort and itching, but are relatively easy to tackle with the right advice. However, in more severe cases dry heels can progress to CRACKED heels, which if left untreated can can heel fissures (deep cracks).

Prevention is better than cure, so if you know you’re prone to dry or cracked heels seeing a Podiatrist regularly can ensure they do not progress to fissures and skin splits.

At Infinite Podiatry we have a range of techniques to reduce the hard skin at your heels and decrease the risk of skin splitting. If the skin has split we also have strategies to keep your feet safe, get the splits healed as soon as possible and give you advice about preventing them from returning. Book in for a Foot Care appointment to get all the benefits of our knowledge.

If you really want to get on top of your dry or cracked heels, booking in for a Luxury Medical Pedicure will ensure they look and feel amazing
