Safe, painless removal of corns by qualified Podiatrists. Walk in comfort again.
Corns are one of the most common foot problems we treat at Norwest Podiatry. They are areas of hardened skin that develop due to pressure or friction, often on the tops of toes, sides of feet, or the soles.
Corns can feel like walking on a small stone inside your shoe, uncomfortable, sometimes painful, and often recurring if the cause isn’t addressed. Our Podiatrists provide safe, sterile corn removal and prevention advice, so you can get back to walking comfortably.
Symptoms of Corns
There are two main types of corns that Podiatrists commonly treat:
Hard Corns (Heloma Durum):
Soft Corns (Heloma Molle):
