Understanding Corn on Heel and its Causes

Corn on heel, also known as a corn callus or heloma durum, is a common foot condition that occurs due to prolonged friction or pressure on the skin. It is characterized by the development of thick, hardened areas of dead skin, often appearing yellowish or grayish in color.

Several factors contribute to the development of corns on the heel, including:

  • Poorly fitting shoes
  • High-heeled shoes
  • Flat feet or high arches
  • Excessive pressure or friction on the heel

Expert Corn on Heel Treatment Options

At The Foot Practice, we offer a comprehensive range of evidence-based corn on heel treatment options that are tailored to each patient's unique needs. Our experienced team of podiatrists will assess your condition and develop a personalized treatment plan to alleviate your discomfort and effectively manage the corns on your heel.

1. Footwear Guidance and Modification

We understand the impact of footwear on foot health, especially when it comes to corns on the heel. Our podiatrists will provide detailed guidance on selecting appropriate footwear that provides proper support and reduces pressure on the affected area. In some cases, modifications to existing footwear, such as padding or orthotics, may be recommended.

2. Corn Removal and Callus Debridement

Our skilled podiatrists are proficient in performing corn removal and callus debridement procedures. Using advanced techniques and sterile instruments, they will carefully remove the corns and calluses, relieving pain and discomfort. The procedure is safe, minimally invasive, and performed under strict hygiene protocols.

3. Custom Orthotics and Insoles

For individuals with structural foot abnormalities contributing to corn formation, our podiatrists may prescribe custom orthotics or insoles. These devices are designed to correct biomechanical imbalances, reduce friction, and redistribute pressure evenly across the foot, preventing the recurrence of corns on the heel.

4. Moisturizing and Exfoliating Strategies

Maintaining healthy foot skin is essential in managing corn on the heel. Our podiatrists will provide expert advice on moisturizing and exfoliating strategies to keep the skin soft and prevent the buildup of dead skin cells. Regular use of appropriate moisturizers and gentle exfoliation techniques will help manage corns and promote healthier feet.

5. Lifestyle and Prevention Tips

Our team believes in empowering patients with knowledge to prevent the recurrence of corns on the heel. We provide comprehensive lifestyle and prevention tips, including proper foot hygiene, regular self-examinations, and recommendations for foot care products. By adopting these practices, you can minimize the risk of corn formation and maintain optimal foot health.
