Corns are small calluses that usually occur on the feet and on or between toes in weight-bearing areas. Corns are usually caused by ill-fitting shoes and can grow into unsightly, hardened patches that become a nuisance.
While pumice stones and corn pads work from some people with mild cases, you can cause accidental injury by trying to remove them yourself.
We safely and effectively remove corns in our offices. For more information on corns or to schedule an appointment, don’t hesitate to contact us today at (262) 338-0901!
