Callus Foot Care/Treatment
Description
Callus Foot Care/Treatment – The Chiropodists at Think Feet Family Foot Clinic, in Orillia, treat and care for callus.
A callus is a localized area of thicker skin. It can be yellow in color and be hard to the touch. A callus is usually caused by pressure and repetitive friction. Poorly fitting shoes may increase the presentation of callus. The body responds to this pressure and friction by producing more skin in the affected area to prevent skin breakdown. If pressure and/or friction continue, there is a risk that the skin beneath the callus may break down, resulting in an ulcer. Callus may also occur due to injuries, scar formation, medical conditions, and eczema or psoriasis.
