If you’re dealing with persistent hard skin or pressure points, our team in Geelong offers safe and effective care tailored to your needs.
What are corns and calluses?
- Corns are small, concentrated areas of hard skin that often develop on toes or pressure points. They can feel like a stone in your shoe and are usually painful when pressed.
- Calluses are larger, diffuse patches of thickened skin caused by repeated friction or pressure, commonly on the heels or balls of the feet.
Both conditions are the body’s way of protecting the skin, but without treatment, they can become painful and lead to complications such as fissures or infection.
Effective callus podiatrist treatment
Our podiatrists treat calluses by removing excess build-up of skin and restoring a smoother surface. This reduces pain, improves comfort, and helps prevent cracked heels or secondary skin problems.
For patients with diabetes or circulation issues, professional treatment is especially important to avoid complications.
Support for foot skin thickening
Persistent foot skin thickening is often a sign of underlying biomechanical issues, such as uneven pressure or poor footwear. Along with treatment, we help identify the cause and recommend strategies to keep your skin healthy and pain-free.

FAQs about corns and calluses
Why professional corn removal?
DIY methods can be risky and may worsen the problem. Our podiatrists perform safe, sterile corn removal using precise instruments to gently reduce the hard skin without discomfort. Relief is often immediate, and most patients can walk comfortably straight after treatment.
We also provide advice to reduce recurrence, such as footwear modifications, orthotics, or pressure redistribution techniques.
How often will I need treatment?
This depends on the cause. Some people benefit from treatment every 6–8 weeks, while others may need less frequent care.
Can corns or calluses be prevented?
Yes. Proper footwear, pressure management, and routine podiatry care can significantly reduce recurrence.
Are corns linked to other foot conditions?
Yes. Bunions, hammertoes, or neuromas can change pressure patterns, making corns more likely.
