Corns and Calluses treatment in Monterrey

Corns and calluses are areas of thickened, hardened skin that form from repeated rubbing or pressure, almost always on the feet or hands. They are a natural response of the skin to protect itself, although over time they can become bothersome or painful.

Frequent symptoms: hard, thick skin, sensitivity when pressed and, at times, pain when walking or wearing tight footwear.

Common causes: inappropriate shoes, walking for a long time, foot deformities, or activities that place constant pressure on the same area.

Which specialist treats it? The podiatrist is the one who specifically handles the care of the feet and the skin that covers them. If the calluses hurt, crack, or you live with diabetes, the best thing is to have a podiatrist evaluate them before trying to remove them on your own.
