CORNS & CALLUSES TREATMENT IN WACO, TX
Relieve Pressure & Restore Comfort
Corns and calluses are common skin conditions caused by repeated pressure and friction on the feet. Although they often develop gradually, they can become painful and may indicate underlying problems with foot mechanics or footwear. At Brazos Foot & Ankle, we provide personalized treatment to relieve discomfort while addressing the cause of recurring pressure.
What Are Corns & Calluses?
Corns are small, concentrated areas of thickened skin that usually develop on the tops or sides of the toes. Calluses are broader areas of thickened skin that commonly form on the heels or balls of the feet. Both develop as the body's natural response to repeated pressure or friction.
