Calluses are areas of thickened, hardened skin that develop due to repeated pressure or friction. They are commonly found on the feet, hands, and other areas exposed to repetitive stress. While usually harmless, painful or persistent calluses may benefit from professional evaluation and treatment.
A callus is a broader area of thickened skin that develops as the body's natural response to repeated pressure or friction. Unlike corns, calluses are usually larger and less concentrated.
Callus Treatment
Treatment focuses on reducing the source of friction or pressure and safely managing the thickened skin. Depending on the severity, your dermatologist may recommend professional removal, topical treatments, moisturising care, or lifestyle and footwear modifications.
Persistent thickened or rough skin can be uncomfortable and may keep returning if the underlying cause is not addressed.
