Located in Charlotte, North Carolina, our clinic is renowned for its advanced podiatric care and personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s needs.
Understanding Corns
Corns are small, hardened patches of skin that develop on the feet due to pressure and friction, typically appearing on the toes or under the soles. They form to protect sensitive skin but can become painful and problematic without proper care. There are two primary types of corns:
- Hard corns: These are dense and located on drier parts of the foot like the top of the toe.
- Soft corns: Found between toes, these are softer due to moisture and can be particularly sensitive.
Comprehensive Corn Treatment
At Charlotte Foot Care Associates, treatment starts with a thorough assessment by our expert podiatrist, Dr. Lu. Our approach to corn treatment includes:
- Customized padding: To relieve pressure from the affected areas.
- Professional trimming: Safely reducing the thickness of the corn.
- Footwear advice: Recommendations on proper shoes to prevent recurrence.
- Surgical options: For severe cases, minor surgery might be advised to remove the corn.
Each treatment plan is crafted after a detailed examination of your foot structure, range of motion, and skin health during our comprehensive foot and exam.
