Callus & Corn (Foot) Treatment in Johor Bahru

Kapalan & Jagung Kaki

Calluses and corns are areas of thickened, hardened skin that develop in response to repeated friction and pressure, usually on the feet. Calluses form on weight-bearing areas (heels, balls of feet) while corns (clavus) form on or between toes, often with a hard central core that presses on nerves causing sharp pain. In Malaysia, prolonged standing jobs and poorly fitting footwear are common causes. In diabetic patients, foot calluses and corns require careful medical management to prevent ulceration.

Symptoms of Callus & Corn (Foot)

✓Thickened, hardened, yellowish skin on foot

✓Sharp, stabbing pain when walking (corns)

✓A small round bump with a hard centre (corn)

✓Rough, dry, flat area of skin (callus)

✓Tenderness or pain under pressure

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

See a doctor if you have diabetes and notice any foot skin changes, if a corn or callus becomes painful, inflamed, infected, or bleeds, or if home treatment is not providing relief. Never attempt to cut corns or calluses yourself with sharp objects — risk of serious infection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a corn and a callus?▼

A callus is a broad, flat area of thickened skin on weight-bearing surfaces, usually painless. A corn is smaller, with a hard central core, and develops on or between toes — it can be very painful as the core presses on underlying nerves.

Can I treat corns at home?▼

Mild corns can be softened with over-the-counter salicylic acid plasters and gentle filing after soaking. However, people with diabetes, poor circulation, or neuropathy should NEVER self-treat foot skin lesions — always see a doctor to avoid risk of infection or ulceration.
