Flatirons Foot & Ankle Clinic Calluses & Corns Treatment in Longmont, CO
Safe Relief from Calluses & Corns
Calluses and corns develop as the body’s response to repeated pressure or friction. While common, they can become painful and interfere with walking if left untreated. At Flatirons Foot & Ankle Clinic, Dr. Ritchie Steed provides safe removal and long-term solutions to prevent recurrence.
Understanding Calluses & Corns
Calluses typically form on weight-bearing areas, while corns are smaller and more localized — often between toes or on joints. Both are signs that pressure is not being distributed properly.
Symptoms
Patients often experience:
Thick, hardened skin
Tenderness or burning sensation
Pain when walking or wearing shoes
Attempting to cut or shave calluses at home can increase the risk of infection.
