Diabetic Callus Management
Quick Answer: Calluses on diabetic feet are dangerous — they hide ulcers underneath. Never trim diabetic calluses at home. We safely debride them and address the underlying pressure cause with custom orthotics.
Why Calluses Form
Repetitive pressure from foot deformity, ill-fitting shoes, or gait abnormality. Custom orthotics + diabetic shoes prevent recurrence.
FAQ
Why can’t I trim my own calluses?
Diabetic neuropathy makes you unable to feel injury. Even small cuts can become limb-threatening ulcers.
