Corns and calluses are among the most common foot issues, yet they’re often misunderstood. At Aurelius Podiatry, we believe that educating our clients is just as important as providing expert care. Let’s clear up some of the biggest myths about corns and calluses so you can make informed decisions about your foot health. Myth 1: Corns and Calluses Will Go Away on Their Own The Truth: Corns and calluses don’t typically resolve without intervention. These thickened areas of skin form as a response to ongoing pressure or friction. Unless the source of the irritation is addressed, they will likely persist and could even worsen over time. Solution: Professional treatment, like the innovative Curacorn method, effectively removes corns and calluses while addressing the underlying causes to prevent recurrence. Myth 2: Only People with Poor Hygiene Get Corns and Calluses The Truth: Corns and calluses can happen to anyone. They’re often caused by factors like tight or ill-fitting shoes, high levels of physical activity, or even natural foot shapes that create pressure points. Personal hygiene plays a minimal role in their development. Solution: Protect your feet with proper footwear and consider regular podiatry check-ups to keep them in top condition. Myth 3: You Can Safely Treat Corns and Calluses at Home The Truth: While there are over-the-counter products and home remedies available, they often provide temporary relief at best. Worse, some DIY treatments, like cutting or shaving the skin, can lead to infections or further complications. Solution: Seek professional care. At Aurelius Podiatry, our Curacorn treatment offers a safe, precise, and effective way to address corns and calluses. Myth 4: Corns and Calluses Are the Same Thing The Truth: While they’re often grouped together, corns and calluses are different. Corns are smaller, often painful, and usually form on non-weight-bearing parts of the foot, like the tops or sides of toes. Calluses are larger and usually develop on weight-bearing areas, like the soles. Solution: A podiatrist can accurately diagnose and treat both conditions to ensure effective relief. Myth 5: Once Treated, Corns and Calluses Never Come Back The Truth: Without addressing the root cause, corns and calluses may return. Factors like ongoing friction, pressure, or improper footwear can lead to recurrence. Solution: The Curacorn method doesn’t just treat the symptoms; it also targets the causes, helping to reduce the risk of recurrence. Our team will also provide advice on preventing future issues. Why Professional Care Matters Ignoring corns and calluses or relying on ineffective remedies can lead to chronic pain and other complications. At Aurelius Podiatry, we combine expertise with cutting-edge treatments like Curacorn to ensure your feet stay healthy and pain-free. Stop Believing Myths—Let Us Help With Expert Care!
