We at Ankle & Foot Specialist of N.J. provide some tips to help you care for your feet this winter season.
It would be difficult to capture all the ways the Internet has changed life as we know it, including the effect it has had when it comes to do-it-yourself (DIY) projects. Once upon a time, you would have to rely on books or knowledge passed along to know how to, say, build a bookcase or replace an alternator. Nowadays, you simply need to google the subject or search for it on YouTube. Sometimes, corn and callus treatment can be performed on your own as well, but is definitely best to know what it entails.
When we discuss home treatment for corns and calluses, you should keep the following tips in mind:
If you have diabetes, do not attempt to perform this yourself. The risk is too high for something to go wrong that might not be a big deal for an otherwise healthy individual, but could turn into a major issue for you. Instead, have us do it for you.
The best tip for corn and callus treatment, though, is to simply contact us here at Ankle and Foot Specialist of New Jersey. We provide comprehensive foot care services to address any lower limb issues your or your loved ones might experience, but we can also provide additional information to keep you safe if you are attempting DIY corn or callus removal. Give us a call at (908) 222-8980 or request an appointment with our South Plainfield office (right on the border with Edison) online today.
