Corns & Callus Treatment in New Mills & Surrounding Areas

If you’re struggling with painful corns or hard skin, The Hub New Mills provides safe, gentle, and professional foot care delivered by a highly qualified Foot Health Care Professional.

Many people try to treat corns at home, but pedicure blades, corn plasters, and chemical paints can damage healthy skin, increase infection risk, and often make the problem worse. For long-lasting relief, a professional assessment is always the safest option.

What Are Corns?

Corns are small, concentrated areas of thickened skin that press into underlying nerve endings, causing sharp or persistent pain. They often appear on the toes or the soles of the feet and can sometimes progress to ulceration if left untreated.

At The Hub New Mills, we safely and effectively remove corns using professional techniques designed to minimise discomfort and restore comfort quickly.

Corns vs. Calluses

Understanding the difference helps you spot problems early:                                                                                             

  • Corns: Small, localised areas of hard skin caused by pressure or friction

  • Calluses: Larger patches of thickened skin caused by repeated rubbing

Common causes include:

  • Foot instability

  • Abnormal pressure on the toes or soles

  • Footwear rubbing

  • Foot structure issues such as bunions or hammer toes

While skin thickening is your body’s natural way of protecting itself, too much hard skin becomes painful and requires treatment.

Where Corns & Calluses Commonly Develop

Corns and calluses tend to appear on:

  • The ball of the foot

  • The outer edge of the little toe

  • The tops of toe joints

  • Between the toes

  • Around the heels

Types of Corns

Hard Corns

Usually found on the tops of toes or the outer side of the little toe — typically areas irritated by poorly fitting footwear.

Soft Corns

Common between the toes, especially between the 4th and 5th toes. These stay soft due to moisture and can sometimes become infected.
