Foot callus removal at EDFC, Surat, and why calluses keep coming back, with the footwear and pressure care that help stop them returning.
Many people have a callus removed, only to find it back a few weeks later. That is because removing the hard skin treats the result, not the cause. In this video, Elegance Diabetic Foot & Ulcer Clinic (EDFC), Surat shows foot callus removal treatment and explains how to stop calluses from returning, under the guidance of Dr. Ashutosh Shah.
Callus vs Corn: What Is the Difference?
A callus is a broad, flat patch of thick skin, usually under the ball of the foot or the heel. A corn is smaller and deeper, with a hard centre, and often forms on or between the toes. Both are caused by repeated pressure or rubbing.
Why Calluses Keep Coming Back
- Footwear: Tight, loose or hard shoes create friction and pressure points.
- Foot shape: Claw toes, bunions or a high arch put extra load on certain areas.
- Walking pattern: Uneven weight-bearing keeps pressing the same spot.
- Dry skin: Dry, thick skin builds up faster and cracks more easily.
