See how EDFC, Surat safely cleans diabetic feet and removes calluses with sterile tools, avoiding the cuts a salon pedicure can cause.
For people with diabetes, a regular salon pedicure can be risky. A small nick from a blade or a rough file can turn into a wound that heals slowly. In this short video, Elegance Diabetic Foot & Ulcer Clinic (EDFC), Surat shows safe diabetic foot cleaning and callus removal, done by a trained team under the guidance of Dr. Ashutosh Shah.
What Is a Diabetic Medical Pedicure?
A diabetic medical pedicure is foot care done in a clinical setting with sterile instruments. It is designed for feet that may have reduced feeling or poor blood flow, where even minor injuries can become serious. The aim is to keep the feet clean and healthy and to catch problems early, before they turn into ulcers.
What Safe Diabetic Foot Cleaning Includes
- Foot inspection: Checking the skin, nails and pressure areas for early warning signs.
- Callus removal: Thick, hard skin is carefully pared away to relieve pressure.
- Corn care: Corns are treated safely, without corn caps or acids.
- Nail care: Nails are trimmed and thick or ingrown nails are managed.
- Cleaning and moisturising: Dry, cracked skin is cleaned and treated to prevent splits.
- Footwear advice: Guidance to stop calluses and pressure points from coming back.
Why Calluses Matter in Diabetes
A callus forms where there is repeated pressure. In diabetes, it can keep thickening without pain and press on the tissue below, which may break down into an ulcer hidden under the hard skin. Regular, safe callus removal lowers this risk.
