Blisters (Advice & Deflective padding)
​
What is it?
​
-
A fluid filled sac (bubble) in the dermo-epidermal (outer) layer of skin.
Causes
​
-
Blisters are usually caused by:
​
-
Ill-fitting footwear (shoes that are too tight or too loose) can cause friction resulting in swelling of the skin (fluid build-up beneath the affected area).
​
-
Standing or walking for prolonged hours.
​
-
Excessive moisture and friction.
​
Treatments
​
-
To reduce the possibility of more discomfort to the area, deflective padding , footwear and podiatric care would be recommended.

Calluses (Hard Skin) & Corns
​
​
What are they?
​
-
Calluses are hard skin that are formed on the outer layers of the skin.
​
Causes
​
-
Calluses are due to the affected areas of the foot receiving high pressure loads (Compressional stress / GRF (Ground Reaction Forces).
​
-
Once more callus forms over prior callus due to compressional and shearing stresses. This forces the calluses to fuse tightly forcing it deeper into the skin which is recognised as a corn.
​
Types of corns:
​
-
There are several types of corns (Hard corn; soft corn; seed corn; fibrous corn; neurovascular corn; Durlacher’s corn and subungual corns).
​
Treatments
-
Callus & corn treatment at 'Simply Podiatry Limited' is based upon debridement of calluses, enucleation or corns and sanding the area down to a smooth finish.
