The American Podiatric Medical Association offers these potential treatment methods:
- Leave the corns or calluses alone if they aren't painful or bothering you.
- Look for the causes of these problems and make changes to footwear, if needed.
- See a podiatrist, particularly if you are diabetic, or have poor circulation or a serious illness.
- Pad your shoes, if your podiatrist recommends doing so.
- If you have a very large corn or callus, your podiatrist may recommend using a surgical blade to reduce its size.
