Looking for help with corns, calluses, and cracked heels in Cookeville? Our Cookeville clinic at 120 Walnut Commons Lane, Suite A offers exams, treatment, and follow up close to home.

Corns and calluses are thick, hard patches of skin that form where your foot rubs or takes extra pressure. Cracked heels are dry, thick skin that splits open at the back of the foot.

These problems are common in adults and active people. You may see rough skin at first, then feel soreness when you walk. Care early can keep small cracks from becoming deep or painful.

Diagnosis and care

How we treat corns, calluses, and cracked heels in Cookeville.

Step 1 · Diagnosis

We look at the thick skin and find where the pressure is coming from. We check your toe shape, gait, and shoes. If a bump does not look like a normal corn, we may look more closely to rule out other skin growths. X-rays can help when a bone shape may be adding pressure.

Step 2 · Treatment

We can gently trim thick skin in the office, which often brings quick relief. Moisturizing creams with softening ingredients help keep heels supple. Padding, toe spacers, and roomier shoes reduce rubbing. Custom orthotics can spread pressure more evenly across the foot. Please do not cut corns at home or use strong acid pads if you have diabetes or poor circulation.

Surgery is rarely needed. If a bone shape keeps causing painful corns, a small procedure to reshape the area may be an option.
