The skin of your feet endures more pressure and friction than almost any other part of your body. Verrucae, corns, calluses, cracked heels, hard skin and athlete’s foot are among the most common reasons people seek foot health treatment — and all are very effectively managed by a qualified podiatrist or foot health practitioner.
Corns and calluses form in response to repeated pressure and friction, often caused by ill-fitting footwear or altered gait. A podiatrist can painlessly remove hard skin using a scalpel — a quick, comfortable procedure that provides immediate relief. Orthotic padding or insoles are often recommended alongside to address the underlying pressure.
Verrucae are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can be stubborn to treat. Modern options include cryotherapy, needling and Swift microwave therapy, with Swift having excellent evidence for difficult or longstanding cases. Search below to find a skin conditions specialist near you.
