Callus
Hard skin buildup on the foot can cause pain and discomfort in everyday life. Removal is quick and painless and will make your feet feel much better. If you suffer from callus, regular debridement is essential for maintaining good foot health and hygiene.
What causes callus?
Callus is the accumulation of dead skin, often caused by ill-fitting footwear or an anatomical issue. The pressure from the hardened skin can lead to pain and may cause a burning sensation. This can be quickly relieved with debridement and emollient treatment.
What is debridement?
Debridement involves removing hard skin using a sterile blade. A registered HCPC podiatrist must perform this to minimise the risk of infection. Although it may sound intimidating, scalpel debridement should be completely painless and produce immediate results.
