What Are Foot Calluses?
A callus is a thickened area of skin that develops as a result of frequent pressure or friction on a certain spot. Calluses can occur anywhere on the body, but they are especially common on the feet, especially if you walk, run, or hike frequently. While foot calluses are a common problem and not usually a health concern, they can be painful and might even lead to an infection if they aren't properly managed. If you have a painful callus that is impacting your quality of life or if your callus is showing signs of infection, we invite you to schedule an examination at Agape Foot Care in North Texas. Our experienced podiatrists are committed to helping you get on your feet again.
How Do You Treat Foot Calluses?
Foot calluses are diagnosed with a simple exam at our podiatry office in Garland, Waxahachie, or Kaufman, TX. We'll also talk about how your job, lifestyle, and shoe size might be affecting the health of your feet. We offer a variety of approaches for foot callus treatments at Agape Foot Care, from medicated patches to surgery (for the most extreme cases in which a callus is caused by a deformity in the foot). We'll also discuss how you can take care of your feet at home and which orthopedic products (like shoe inserts) might help prevent your callus from redeveloping.
What Are Some Signs of Foot Calluses?
While foot calluses are rarely painful, they are still easy to identify with a simple check. Some signs that you have a callus on your foot include:
- Rough patches of skin that might appear waxy or thicker than the surrounding area
- Dry or cracking skin
- Pain or sensitivity in the feet
- Slight discoloration in the skin (usually a yellowish color)
If you notice redness, swelling, or intense pain or if your callus oozes, you may have an infection and should reach out to a healthcare professional as soon as possible.
