Callus Removal

When you visit a podiatrist for callus removal, you’re in capable hands. Let me provide you with a detailed description of the procedure:

1. Professional Assessment:

   • The process begins with a thorough examination by the podiatrist.

   • They assess the callus, considering its size, location, and impact on your foot health.

2. Sterile Environment:

   • You’ll be in a sterile and controlled clinical setting.

   • The podiatrist ensures proper hygiene to prevent infections.

3. Safe Techniques:

   • Scalpel or Surgical Blade: The podiatrist uses a sterile surgical blade to remove the callus.

   • With each precise swipe, they gently pare away the layer of dead skin.

   • This procedure is performed during an office visit.

   • Caution: Do not attempt this at home, as improper trimming can lead to infection.

4. Smooth Edges:

   • After removing the dead skin, the podiatrist smooths the edges using a pumice stone.

   • This ensures comfort and minimizes any discomfort caused by rough edges.
