Calluses and corns

Normally they don’t require any special treatments unless the condition becomes painful and associated with the neuritis of the skin nerves.

Treating a callus is part of a nail technician‘s routine during every pedicure service and is common hygiene practise. Thickened dead skin can be a source of infection; it is important to remove the majority of it, but not all, as removing the callus completely can leave the skin unprotected and lead to inflammation. Calluses should be removed carefully to avoid irritating the underlying soft tissues. Painful calluses or corns should be treated by foot specialists or doctors.
