Painful Calluses treatment in Miguel Hidalgo

Painful calluses are thickenings of the skin that form from repeated pressure or friction, generally on the feet or hands, and that come to cause discomfort or pain when bearing weight or using them.

Common causes: They are usually related to inadequate footwear, foot deformities, repetitive manual activities, or an uneven distribution of weight when walking.

When is a check-up advisable? If the callus hurts constantly, changes in appearance, cracks, or appears in people with diabetes, a careful evaluation is advisable.

Which specialist treats it? The podiatrist and, depending on the case, the dermatologist, assess the skin and the mechanics of the foot to guide its care. If the calluses limit your walking or become painful, the most sensible thing is to have them reviewed by a professional before they become complicated.
