Tips to address rough skin and calluses

When it comes to personal hygiene, we often neglect our feet compared to the other parts of our body. As a result, corns and calluses often build up on or at the bottom of our feet. By definition, corns and calluses are areas of thickened skin resulting from abnormal pressure or rubbing and are the result of abnormal foot structure or function.

To address this common foot health issue, here are our recommendations:

• use a pumice stone

• use skin softeners

• avoid shoes that provide poor shoe fit

• speak with a podiatrist for extreme cases

By addressing your calluses and corns quickly and effectively, you can ensure long-term comfort and mobility. Should you have any questions, please contact our team here to set up an appointment online, by email at info@riverpodiatry.com or by phone at (845) 735-8440.
