Corns & Callus 
(Heloma Durum, Heloma Molle, Hyperkeratosis)

          Known to the average person simply as "corns," in the medical profession this condition is called a "heloma" and is characterized by thick areas of skin that develop as a result of extreme amounts of pressure and friction being applied to the skin. Corns, rather than being a defect, are actually your body's way of trying to protect itself from further damage and there are generally two different types of corn that can develop; hard corns, also known as heloma durum, and soft corns, which your Chiropodist may refer to as heloma molle.
​
Common Concerns:
 - There is no local anesthetic required
 - Corns can be removed in the first appointment
 - It is a commonly a painless procedure

If you have painful corns or callus, make an appointment to see the Chiropodist/Foot specialist at (613) 440-3839 to get treatment.
