 Corns
& Calluses
Corns and calluses are the most common medical conditions on
the skin of the foot seen by podiatrists. A corn is a
thickening of the outer layer of skin, which generally
occurs on the tops of the toes. Calluses, which are the same
condition on the bottom of the feet, are caused by sheering
pressures. Corns and calluses are the foots defense against
friction and pressure. These conditions are usually painful
but can respond to conservative care from a podiatrist.
Corns and calluses on the foot or toes can be
diagnosed and treated quickly and successfully (without surgery) by
the podiatrist, Board Certified Podiatric Surgeon David P. Rosenzweig, DPM,
PC, at either his Rye Brook (Westchester County) or
Greenwich, Connecticut office.
Infected corns or callus that are not treated
will become painful and will require the medical
attention of a foot doctor.
Even though corns and calluses can be unattractive, you
only need to see the podiatrist if your fcorns or calluse cause discomfort or if you think an infection has
developed. A severe form of a foot corn or callus is
called an IPK (Intractable Plantar Keratosis) and may
require surgery. Additionally, if you have diabetes or another
medical condition that causes poor circulation to your feet,
you are at greater risk of complications and you should be
seen by a podiatrist.
To make an
appointment with the Podiatrist, Doctor David P. Rosenzweig, DPM,
PC, Board Certified in
Podiatric Surgery to treat or diagnosis your foot corns
or foot calluses, please contact the Podiatrist at either his Rye Brook (Westchester County), New York or
Greenwich, Connecticut office. |
