Complete Guide to Corn and Callus Treatment

Millions of people across the world deal with painful corns and calluses every year, treating them with corn plasters, callus removers, and temporary solutions that never seem to last. 

This guide has been developed by our Clinical Podiatrist, Heather Smart to help you understand why corns and calluses develop, why traditional corn plasters and pads only provide temporary relief, and what actually works for lasting results. 

More importantly, we'll show you there's a better solution, one that addresses the root cause rather than just masking symptoms

What Are Corns and Calluses? (The Medical Facts)

While corns and calluses are often mentioned together, they're actually different conditions with distinct characteristics.

Calluses are areas of thickened, hardened skin that develop in response to repeated pressure or friction. They're typically larger, have no defined borders, and are generally less painful than corns. You'll usually find calluses on the ball of the foot, heels, or sides of the feet, areas that bear weight or experience regular rubbing.

Corns are smaller, more concentrated areas of thickened skin with a hard centre, sometimes surrounded by inflamed tissue. Unlike calluses, corns have clearly defined borders and are often quite painful, especially when pressure is applied. The medical term for a hard corn is heloma durum.

Types of Corns

There are three main types of corns you might encounter:

Hard Corns (Heloma Durum): The most common type, these form on the tops and sides of toes, or on the sole of the foot where bony prominences  create pressure points. They have a dense, hard core that presses into deeper skin layers, causing sharp pain.

Soft Corns (Heloma Molle): These develop between toes where moisture accumulates, giving them a softer, whitish appearance. The fourth toe web space is a particularly common location. While "soft," they can be extremely painful due to the sensitive skin in these areas.

Seed Corns (Heloma Mille): Smaller less obvious areas of thickened skin that typically appear on the bottom of the feet. They're less painful than hard corns but can form in clusters  and become irritating.

Common Locations

Corns and calluses favour certain pressure points:

• Ball of the foot (under metatarsal heads)
• Heel area
• Tops and sides of toes
• Between toes (soft corns)
• Edge of the big toe
• Edge of the little toe
• Under the big toe joint

"Corns develop in certain locations determined by foot biomechanics and external pressures. The most common sites are areas where ground reaction forces concentrate during gait, for example, under the metatarsal heads, particularly beneath the first, second and fifth metatarsal heads. We also frequently see corns in areas vulnerable to footwear pressure: the tops and sides of toes, between toes where moisture and crowding create soft corns, and along the edges of the big and little toes. The heel is another common site, especially in older adults with fat pad atrophy, due to a lack of cushioning. Understanding these factors is crucial because it explains why surface treatments alone rarely succeed. If we don't address the underlying pressure distribution, the body simply rebuilds its protective response in the same location."

Understanding where and why these lesions form is the first step to addressing them effectively. Both corns and calluses are your body's protective response to excessive pressure and friction, but that protection comes at the cost of pain and discomfort.

The Root Cause

Most corn and callus treatments only address the symptom, not the cause. You remove the hardened skin, experience relief for a few days or weeks, then the pain creeps back as the corn/callus returns. Sound familiar?

This happens because corns and calluses aren't the actual problem, they're your body's response to a problem: excessive, concentrated pressure and friction on specific areas of your foot.

The Pressure Problem

Every time you take a step, your body weight creates ground reaction forces that distribute across your feet. Ideally, this pressure spreads evenly across your entire foot’s surface. But due to factors like foot structure and gait patterns (such as overpronation), or ill-fitting footwear, pressure can concentrate on small, specific areas.

When your foot experiences repeated pressure on the same spot every day, your skin responds by thickening as a protective mechanism. That thickened skin becomes a corn or callus. Remove that thickened skin without addressing the pressure, and your body simply rebuilds it.

We tend to find that this is a very common condition amongst workers who are on their feet all day, and athletes who put repeated pressure on the soles of their feet. Corns and calluses also tend to form as we age, this is due to the reduction in the subcutaneous fatty padding on the feet, or from conditions such as Rheumatoid Arthritis or Osteoarthritis, which can change the foot structure leading to un-even pressure redistribution. 

The Vicious Cycle

This creates what we call "the corn cycle":

“I’ve seen many patients stuck in this cycle. Without offloading, they'd require regular debridement, typically every 4-6 weeks. By the time they had returned to see me, the corn/callus had returned to its original state. Maintaining appointments this frequent is difficult to achieve in the NHS, due to growing pressures on podiatry services. This is why I prescribe insoles to all of my corn patients. Not only does it prevent corns returning as quickly, it also alleviates the pain.” 

Why Surface Treatments Don't Last

Corn plasters work by using salicylic acid to chemically dissolve the thickened skin. While this can provide temporary smoothness and relief (when applied cautiously), the acid doesn't discriminate, it can damage healthy skin surrounding the corn and does nothing to reduce the pressure causing the problem.

Filing and pumice stones physically remove the surface layers of callused skin, which feels satisfying in the moment. But again, if the underlying pressure point remains, your body rebuilds that protective layer within weeks.

Generic cushion pads attempt to buffer the area but often shift inside shoes, provide non-specific padding, or create new pressure points at their edges.

The only way to achieve lasting relief is to redistribute the pressure away from the affected area. This is the fundamental principle behind effective corn and callus treatment, and it's precisely why customisable pressure relief changes the game.

Studies show that over 70% of corns return within 3-6 months when only surface treatments are used, because the underlying pressure hasn't been addressed.

Corn Plasters, Callus Removers, and Other Solutions: What Works?

Let's take an honest look at the treatment options available, their benefits, limitations, and when each might be appropriate. Our goal is to help you make an informed decision, not dismiss solutions that might work for your specific situation.

Corn Plasters and Medicated Pads

How they work: Corn plasters typically contain salicylic acid (12-40% concentration) which chemically breaks down the thickened keratin layers of the corn. You apply the plaster directly to the corn, leave it on for several days, then remove the softened tissue.

Pros:

• Widely available at pharmacies and supermarkets
• Inexpensive (£3-8 per pack)
• Easy to apply at home
  

Cons:

• Only addresses the symptom, not the cause
• Can damage healthy surrounding skin (chemical burn risk)
• Requires multiple applications
• Pain returns once the corn regrows
• Not suitable for diabetics or those with poor circulation (ulceration risk)
• Can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions

Best for: Superficial corns where you need short-term relief or softening before professional treatment. In these cases, non-medicated plasters or hydrocolloid plasters are a much safer alternative to salicylic acid plasters.

While corn plasters remain the most searched for solution, their temporary nature means you'll likely be purchasing them repeatedly, a cycle that becomes expensive over time. Frequent use of salicylic acid corn platers is not advisable in any case, as this can cause long term damage over time, causing fibrous scar tissue to develop around the corn. This can exacerbate pain and make corns much more difficult to treat.

Manual Callus Removal (Filing, Pumice)

How it works: Physical abrasion using files, pumice stones, or electronic callus removers to sand away the thickened skin layers.

Pros:

• Immediate smoothness and reduced bulk
• Satisfying to see the hardened skin removed
• Tools are reusable and inexpensive
• Can be done at home as needed

Cons:

• Risk of over-filing and creating raw, painful areas
• Can cause bleeding if too aggressive
• Pain returns within 1-3 weeks as callus regrows
• Doesn't prevent recurrence
• Requires regular maintenance
• Difficult to reach certain areas (bottom of foot)

Best for: Corn and callus maintenance between professional treatments, or managing minor corn/callus buildup on easily accessible areas like heels.

Many people searching for a "callus remover" are looking for these manual tools, but it's important to understand they're part of ongoing management rather than a permanent solution.

Corn Cushion Pads

How they work: Foam or gel pads with a central cut-out that sits around the corn, theoretically reducing direct pressure while cushioning the surrounding area.

Pros:

• Provides immediate cushioning and friction reduction
• Non-medicated options avoid chemical burn risks
• Can reduce pain during acute episodes
• Available in various sizes and shapes

Cons:

• Generic sizing rarely matches your exact corn location
• Can shift or bunch up inside shoes
• May create new pressure points at pad edges
• Only provide mild, temporary pressure relief 
• Needs frequent replacement

Best for: Corns on the tops or sides of toes, temporary relief during acute pain episodes, or when you need to wear specific shoes for an event.

Corn cushions/plasters that use cushioning rather than medication are safer than acid-based options, but they still provide only temporary relief.

Professional Podiatry Treatment

How it works: A podiatrist uses sterile instruments to carefully debride (remove) the corn or callus, often assessing your gait and foot structure to identify the underlying pressure cause.

Pros:

• Safe, sterile, professional removal
• Pain relief is immediate
• Podiatrist can identify underlying biomechanical causes
• Appropriate for complex cases
• Essential for at-risk patients (diabetics, neuropathy, vascular compromise, rheumatological conditions)
• Can combine with professional insoles/orthotics

Cons:

• Requires appointments (time commitment)
• Ongoing cost (£30-60 per visit, every 4-8 weeks)
• May require multiple visits
• Debridement alone doesn't prevent recurrence
• Not always easily accessible

Best for: Severe cases, first-time diagnosis, diabetic patients, anyone with circulatory issues or neuropathy, and situations requiring professional assessment.

When professional treatment is essential vs. when self-management is appropriate:

“The gold standard of care is pressure relief alongside professional debridement. However, If you’re generally fit and well, self-management alone is a great option for common conditions like corns and calluses, as this will provide effective long-term management for the majority of cases. If you have health conditions which impact the healing ability of your feet: e.g. diabetes, peripheral vascular disease (poor circulation), or autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, you need a professional diagnosis and management plan. This will prevent complications such as foot ulcerations or infections, from occurring. A severe corn or  hot spot can quickly progress into an ulcer and subsequent infection.”   

Custom Orthotic Insoles 

How they work: A podiatrist takes an impression or scan of your feet, then creates custom insoles designed to redistribute pressure based on your specific foot structure and gait pattern.

Pros:

• Addresses the root cause (pressure redistribution)
• Professionally assessed and fitted
• Can correct complex biomechanical issues
• Long-lasting (1-2 years typically)
  

Cons:

• Expensive (£200-500+ per pair)
• Lengthy process (typically 2-4 weeks from assessment to delivery)
• Requires professional appointments
• Can't easily adjust if pressure points change
• May need multiple pairs for different shoe types

Best for: Complex biomechanical issues, severe foot deformities, patients needing comprehensive gait correction, or those with multiple foot problems beyond corns/calluses.

Treatment Comparison Table

Important: If you have diabetes, peripheral neuropathy, or circulatory issues, always consult a podiatrist before attempting any at-home corn or callus treatment. Reduced sensation means you might not notice if treatment causes injury.

Custom Pressure Relief: A New Approach to Corn and Callus Treatment

There's a gap in the treatment landscape: between expensive custom orthotics requiring professional fitting and temporary corn plasters that only address symptoms. What if you could access professional-grade pressure redistribution without the appointments, wait times, and high costs?

That's exactly why we developed ZeroSole, to bridge this gap and make effective, customisable pressure relief accessible to everyone dealing with corns and calluses.

How ZeroSole Works

ZeroSole is built on a simple but powerful principle: targeted pressure redistribution. Unlike generic insoles, ZeroSole allows you to remove specific hexagonal cells directly beneath your exact pressure points. This can be anywhere underneath the sole of the foot where the hexagonal pattern is situated. 

The Technology: Our patented hexagonal grid design consists of individual silicone cells that can be removed by hand. When you remove cells beneath a corn or callus, you create a "relief window" where pressure is redistributed to the surrounding cells and away from the painful area.

This provides immediate pressure relief and pain relief, by preventing that constant mechanical stress to the problem area.

Medical-Grade Silicone & Memory Foam: We combine  durable, medical-grade silicone with soft memory foam because it:

• Maintains its shape and cushioning properties over months of continuous use
• Doesn't compress and flatten like foam alone
• Provides additional shock absorption 
• Provides consistent pressure redistribution
• Fits into most enclosed footwear types

The 5-Step Customisation Process

1. Trim to fit: Cut the insole to match your shoe size using the sizing guide
2. Mark your pressure point: Apply the included adhesive marker pad to your corn or callus
3. Transfer the mark: Step on the ZeroSole to transfer the marker to the corresponding cells
4. Remove cells: Peel away the marked hexagonal cells by hand (takes 30 seconds)
5. Insert and wear: Place in your footwear and experience immediate relief

Clinical Evidence

We didn't just design ZeroSole based on theory, we put it through rigorous testing to prove it works.

Laboratory Pressure Testing (ATiC Study): In collaboration with the Assistive Technology Innovation Centre at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David, we conducted pressure mapping analysis. The results were clear:

Image above: Clinically proven pain relief (Cardiff Metropolitan University clinical study) and statistically significant pressure reduction at the 'offload' site (F-Scan with ATiC research facility).

When 3x hexagonal cells were removed beneath the second metatarsal head (a common corn location on the ball of the foot), sensors confirmed statistically significant pressure reduction at that exact spot, without creating problematic pressure increases elsewhere.

Clinical Trial Results: Over a 6-week period, we tested ZeroSole with podiatry patients experiencing painful plantar corns and calluses, with great results: 

• Instant pain relief: Pain was instantly reduced by as much as 8/10 (severe pain) to 0/10 (no pain), using the VAS pain scale. Overall, results demonstrated statistically significant reduction in pain scores when ZeroSole was modified and worn, compared to walking without ZeroSole. 
• Visible corn size reduction after 6-weeks of use (in conjunction with scalpel debridement). 
• Testimonials: "This is the best insole I have tried for my corns. I wish I didn't have to give it back!" (Cardiff Met podiatry patient).

“The clinical significance of visible corn size reduction after 6-weeks of use is proof that ZeroSole helps break the corn cycle. Significant pain relief can be achieved instantly when used as a standalone intervention (without debridement), and when worn in conjunction with professional debridement, for the gold standard of care treatment package.”

“Pain relief is also possible with non-medicated, pressure relief plasters, however due to quick compression and loss of adhesion, these will need to be applied daily, and on a continual basis in order to maintain therapeutic effect.”

Developed by Podiatrists, Proven by Research

ZeroSole was developed by UK podiatrists David Barton and Heather Smart, who witnessed firsthand the limitations of existing solutions during their clinical training and practice.

“The journey to ZeroSole began during our clinical practice, where we saw a critical gap in off-the-shelf offloading care. Motivated by our research and the growing pressures on NHS podiatry services, we became determined to create an effective offloading solution which can be easily customised in any face-paced clinical setting, but also in the comfort of your own home for those who do not qualify for NHS podiatry care. We invested our own resources, learned 3D printing and CAD design at home, and persevered through years of prototyping and development to create a precise, durable, and instantly accessible solution for both patients and podiatrists.”

Our ongoing collaboration with university research partners and NHS podiatry clinics ensures ZeroSole continues to evolve based on real life clinical needs and evidence-based practice. We hold partnerships with professional podiatry suppliers, and our insoles are available through the NHS supply chain.

Getting Started: Custom Relief in 5 Minutes

One of ZeroSole's biggest advantages is how quickly you can customise it for your specific needs; no appointments, no waiting, no special equipment.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Trim the Insole

Use the sizing guide printed on the insole to trim it to your shoe size. Standard scissors work perfectly fine. Make sure to leave a bit of excess rather than cutting too short.ou can always trim more, but you can't add material back.

Step 2: Identify Your Pressure Point

Take one of the included double-sided adhesive markers and place it directly on your corn or callus. The white side goes against your skin.

Step 3: Mark the Insole

Place the ZeroSole insole on the floor, hexagonal grid facing up. Step firmly on the insole in your normal standing position. The sticker marker will transfer to the corresponding hexagonal cells, showing you exactly which ones to remove.

Step 4: Remove the Marked Cells

Using just your fingers, peel away the marked hexagonal cells from underneath. Remove all marked cells to create your custom pressure relief window.

Step 5: Insert and Wear

Place your customised ZeroSole into your shoe, hexagonal grid facing down (Black top-cover side up). You may need to remove any existing insole first to ensure proper fit. Wear as you normally would.

Tips for Best Results

• Start conservative: If unsure, remove fewer cells initially. You can always remove more later if needed.
• Wear consistently: Use ZeroSole daily for at least 2-3 weeks to allow your corn to reduce naturally.
• Check your footwear: Ensure your shoes have adequate width and depth to accommodate the insole without creating tightness. If you need help determining your shoe size and width, read our step-by-step guide on how to measure your feet. 
• Monitor progress: You should notice pain reduction within the first few days. If pain persists after 3-4 weeks, consult a podiatrist.

Most users experience noticeable pain relief immediately when wearing ZeroSole. For best results, wear consistently in conjunction with occasional professional debridement to reduce corn size over time.

When to Use ZeroSole vs Other Treatments

We believe in honest guidance.ZeroSole isn't right for every situation, and that's okay. Here's how to determine the best approach for your specific needs.

ZeroSole Is Ideal for You If:

✓ You have recurring plantar corns or calluses despite using corn plasters 

✓ You need reliable relief for work or daily activities 

✓ You want to avoid ongoing podiatry appointment costs 

✓ You prefer evidence-based solutions backed by research 

✓ You have mild to moderate corns or calluses 

✓ You've been told by a podiatrist that pressure redistribution would help

✓ You want a lasting solution you can customise yourself at home 

Consider Seeing a  Podiatrist If:

⚠ You're experiencing corn or callus pain for the first time ( to have a  proper diagnosis) 

⚠ You have diabetes, peripheral neuropathy, or circulatory problems 

⚠ Your corn appears infected (red, swollen, oozing, extremely painful) 

⚠ You have severe structural foot deformities 

⚠ Pain persists or worsens after 3-4 weeks of using ZeroSole 

⚠ You're unsure whether your condition is actually a corn or callus 

⚠ You have very complex biomechanical issues requiring gait analysis 

⚠ The corn is in a location that's difficult to target (between toes)

“ZeroSole is a safe and effective way to reduce pain and manage mild to moderate corns and calluses which are located under the soles of the feet. If your corn is causing severe pain, or appears inflamed (surrounding redness, hot to touch or swollen) have it checked over by a podiatrist or your GP as soon as possible. The same applies if you have diabetes, peripheral vascular disease (poor circulation) or rheumatological conditions, as these can increase your risk of complications such as foot ulcers, infection and poor healing.” 

Can You Combine Treatments?

Absolutely. Many people find success using ZeroSole as their primary pressure relief solution while:

• Having occasional professional debridement to remove hard skin build-up 
• Using moisturising creams to keep skin supple (ideally a 10-25% urea-based foot cream)
• Performing gentle filing for maintenance
• Working with a podiatrist on footwear recommendations

ZeroSole addresses the pressure problem, while other interventions can support overall foot health. Combining these treatments will provide the full package of care to keep your feet in their best condition. 

Your Corn and Callus Treatment Questions Answered

How are corns different from calluses?

Corns are smaller, more concentrated areas of hardened skin with a dense core, and they're typically quite painful. They have well-defined borders and often appear on toes or specific pressure points. Calluses are broader, more diffuse areas of thickened skin without a central core, and while uncomfortable, they're generally less painful than corns. Calluses usually develop on weight-bearing areas like the ball of the foot or heel.

Visit our conditions page to learn more about the differences between corns and callus. 

Do corn plasters really work?

Hydro-colloidal corn plasters can soften and help remove the hardened skin of a corn, providing temporary relief. However, they don't address the underlying pressure that caused the corn to form in the first place. This means the corn will almost always return within weeks or months after treatment. Salicylic acid corn plasters should be used with caution, as they can damage healthy surrounding skin if not applied carefully, and they're not suitable for everyone, particularly people with diabetes, poor circulation or people with fragile skin.

Visit our Foot Health Blog: Do corn plasters work? To learn more. 

Can I remove corns at home safely?

It depends on your health status and the method. If you're generally healthy without diabetes or circulatory problems, using pressure redistribution methods like ZeroSole is safe and effective. Gentle moisturising and very light filing of surface callus is also generally safe. However, you should avoid:

• Cutting corns with sharp instruments (high infection risk)
• Using corn plasters if you have diabetes, neuropathy, or poor circulation
• Over-filing, which can create painful raw areas
• Any treatment that causes bleeding or severe pain

When in doubt, consult a podiatrist for safe professional removal, especially for your first corn.

Why do my corns keep coming back?

Corns return because the underlying cause(concentrated pressure on a specific area of your foot)hasn't been addressed. Every treatment that only removes the thickened skin (plasters, filing, even professional debridement without pressure management) will result in recurrence. Your body is simply rebuilding its protective response to that persistent pressure. The only way to prevent corn recurrence is to redistribute pressure away from that area consistently, which is why pressure-relief insoles are the foundation of long-term management. Professional podiatry debridement combined with pressure redistribution offers the fastest and most lasting relief. Read more about corn prevention here.

“Without pressure management, most plantar corns (on the sole of the foot) are a long-term, or even life-long condition. This recurrence happens because corns are a direct symptom of underlying biomechanical and pressure issues, commonly under the metatarsal heads, on the toes, or on the heel. Simply shaving them down is a temporary fix; without addressing the root cause of the pressure, the body will inevitably rebuild the protective callus or corn, and the pain will return.”

How is ZeroSole different from regular insoles?

Regular insoles provide uniform cushioning or arch support across your entire foot, they're not designed to target specific pressure points. ZeroSole's hexagonal customisation allows you to remove individual cells precisely beneath your corn or callus, creating a relief window where pressure is redistributed to surrounding areas. This targeted approach is what makes it effective for pressure-induced lesions. Additionally, unlike foam insoles that compress and lose effectiveness over time, ZeroSole's medical-grade silicone maintains its pressure-redistributing properties for 6-8 months.

Will ZeroSole work for calluses on the ball of my foot?

Yes, ZeroSole works excellently for ball-of-foot calluses. This is actually one of the most common areas where people experience pressure-induced pain. You would remove the hexagonal cells directly beneath the affected metatarsal head, redistributing pressure to the surrounding foot structure. Many of our clinical trial participants had ball-of-foot lesions with very positive outcomes. For more information on ball-of-foot pain specifically, visit our Foot Conditions page on Metatarsalgia.

How long do ZeroSole insoles last?

With regular daily use, ZeroSole insoles typically last 6-8 months before the silicone begins to show significant wear. This is considerably longer than foam insoles (which compress in 2-3 months) and provides better value than repeatedly purchasing corn plasters every few weeks. When you calculate the cost over 6 months,compared to ongoing plaster purchases, multiple podiatry appointments, or other temporary solutions,ZeroSole offers significant savings while providing consistent pressure relief.

Can I use ZeroSole if I have diabetes?

If you have diabetes, we strongly recommend consulting with your podiatrist before using any new foot product, including ZeroSole. While ZeroSole itself is safe (it's a Class I medical device), diabetes can cause reduced sensation in your feet (peripheral neuropathy), which means you might not notice if something isn't fitting properly or causing issues. Your podiatrist can assess whether ZeroSole is appropriate for your specific situation and help with customisation if needed. Never attempt to remove corns yourself if you have diabetes, always see a healthcare professional.

What if I have soft corns between my toes?

Soft corns (heloma molle) that form between toes are challenging because ZeroSole insoles work on the plantar (bottom) surface of the foot, not the interdigital (between-toe) spaces. For soft corns, we recommend:

• Consulting a podiatrist for proper debridement
• Using toe separators to reduce friction and pressure
• Ensuring footwear has adequate width to prevent toe crowding
• Keeping the area clean and dry to prevent maceration

ZeroSole can help if you also have plantar corns or calluses contributing to altered gait that's affecting toe positioning, but it won't directly treat interdigital corns.

Can I transfer ZeroSole between different pairs of shoes?

Yes! One of ZeroSole's advantages is that you can move it between similar shoes, though you may want to consider having multiple pairs for convenience:

• One pair for work shoes
• One pair for athletic/casual shoes
• One pair for around-the-house footwear

This ensures you have consistent pressure relief throughout your day without needing to swap insoles. ZeroSole fits into most enclosed footwear including trainers, work boots, and casual shoes. Just remove any existing insoles first to ensure proper fit.

Take the First Step Toward Pain-Free Feet

Living with corn or callus pain doesn't have to be your reality. You don't need to accept that stabbing sensation with every step, avoid your favourite activities, or resign yourself to endless cycles of temporary treatments.

Unlike corn plasters that dissolve surface skin without addressing the cause, or generic insoles that provide non-specific cushioning, ZeroSole's customisable technology lets you target your exact pressure points with precision. It's the solution that bridges the gap between temporary fixes and expensive custom orthotics, giving you professional-grade pressure redistribution that you can customise yourself at home.

Backed by clinical research, developed by UK podiatrists, and proven by thousands of satisfied customers, ZeroSole represents a smarter approach to corn and callus management. It's not about masking pain, it's about eliminating the root cause so your body can heal naturally.
