Corn and callus care in Geelong
At Total Care Podiatry, we offer professional corn and callus care to keep your feet healthy, comfortable, and free from pain. Thickened or damaged skin on the feet is not only uncomfortable, but it can also lead to more serious problems if left untreated.
Our experienced podiatrists in Geelong provide safe and effective foot skin treatment tailored to your individual needs, helping you walk comfortably again.
What are corns and calluses?
Corns and calluses are areas of hardened, thickened skin caused by pressure or friction, usually from footwear, walking patterns, or foot deformities. While they are the body’s way of protecting the skin, they can become painful or even infected over time.
Signs you may need corn and callus care include:
- Pain when walking or standing
- Skin cracking or flaking
- Visible lumps on pressure points
We use sterile instruments to gently remove the build-up, restoring skin softness and comfort.

Our team provides more than just removal, we address the underlying cause of the problem. This might include footwear advice, pressure offloading, or orthotics. Every treatment plan is tailored to help prevent recurrence.

What are the benefits of this service?
Corns, calluses and thickened skin are generally symptoms of other problems, so it is important for your podiatrist to examine your feet to work out what could be causing the pressure so they can provide a treatment plan which includes offloading these areas.
Your podiatrist will also provide you with advice on how you can care for your feet to prevent ongoing problems and on whether further treatment is recommended.
Can I use over-the-counter corn pads?
We advise caution, as some contain acids that can damage healthy skin. Professional treatment is safer and more effective.
How often should I get corns or calluses treated?
This varies per person. Some patients benefit from treatment every 6–8 weeks, especially if there’s an underlying cause.
