What are corns, calluses and helomas ("ojo de gallo")?
A corn (also called a heloma or "ojo de gallo") is an area of thickened skin with a hard central core that distinguishes it from a callus, which has none.3 Both form through repeated pressure, often from footwear, and are common with deformities such as hammer toes.3
MedlinePlus sums up the cause of corns and calluses in a single idea: pressure or friction on the skin.1
How can you recognise a callus or a corn?
A callus or a corn on the foot is recognised, according to the Foot Health Facts Institute, because the corn has a hard central core and the callus does not.3 Confirmation is made by the podiatrist during the examination.
MedlinePlus says to call the professional if pain, redness, warmth or discharge persist.1 If bleeding, pus or discharge appear, the NHS recommends seeing a doctor.2
How does a podiatrist treat corns and calluses?
A podiatrist can treat a corn or a callus by cutting it, applying patches or creams that soften the skin and supplying pads or insoles that offload the area, according to the NHS.2
If the underlying cause is not treated or removed, the corn may come back.3 The cited sources do not detail how many visits are needed or the specific risks of each option.
Why it is not advisable to remove a corn at home
Removing a corn at home or with medicated pads can cause a serious infection.3 The NHS also asks you not to cut your own corns or calluses.2 With diabetes, poor circulation or a weakened immune system, the NHS says you should not treat them yourself and should see a doctor or a foot specialist.2
If the corn becomes infected or ulcerated
If it becomes infected or ulcerated, a professional may have to remove the tissue and antibiotics may be needed.1 The NHS adds that, if there is bleeding, pus or discharge, you should see a doctor, who may prescribe antibiotics if it is infected.2
When should you see a podiatrist about a corn?
See a podiatrist or a doctor about a corn if you have diabetes, poor circulation or a weakened immune system, if it bleeds or oozes, or if it does not improve.2
- Diabetes or numbness in the feet: MedlinePlus says the feet should be checked carefully,1 and that you should call the professional if you have diabetes with foot problems.1 The NHS asks you not to treat corns yourself and to see a doctor or a foot specialist, also if you have poor circulation or a weakened immune system.2
- Bleeding, pus or discharge: see a doctor; if the corn is infected, they may prescribe antibiotics.2
- Pain, redness, warmth or discharge that persist: MedlinePlus says to call the professional.1
- No improvement: if it does not improve with treatment, call the professional.1 If you are already treating it yourself (and you do not have diabetes or poor circulation), the NHS sets the limit at 3 weeks of self-treatment with no improvement, or sooner if additional symptoms appear.2
Options compared
| Option | What the sources say | Risks or drawbacks |
|---|---|---|
| Cutting the corn or callus at the clinic | A podiatrist can cut them (NHS). | The cited sources do not detail its risks; the professional must explain them to you before doing it. |
| Patches or creams that soften the skin | A podiatrist can apply them (NHS). | The cited sources do not detail their risks or how long they take to work. |
| Pads or insoles that offload the area | A podiatrist can supply them (NHS). If the cause is not addressed, the corn may come back. | The cited sources do not detail their risks. |
| Removing it yourself at home or with medicated pads | The NHS asks you not to cut your own corns or calluses. | It can cause a serious infection. The cited evidence does not support this option. |
Signs to seek care without waiting
- Diabetes or numb feet: MedlinePlus says the feet should be checked carefully, and that you should call your healthcare professional if you have diabetes with foot problems.

- Bleeding, pus or discharge: see a doctor; if the corn is infected, they may prescribe antibiotics.
- Pain, redness, warmth or discharge that persists: MedlinePlus says to call your healthcare professional.
- No improvement: if it does not improve with treatment, call your healthcare professional. If you are already treating it yourself (and you do not have diabetes or poor circulation), the NHS sets the limit at 3 weeks of self-treatment without improvement, or sooner if extra symptoms appear.

Frequently asked questions
Can I remove a callus myself?
That is not what the sources recommend. The NHS asks you not to cut your own corns or calluses, and the Foot Health Facts Institute warns that removing a corn at home or with medicated pads can cause a serious infection. If you want it removed, book an appointment with a podiatrist.
