Diabetic Callus Care

Quick Answer: Diabetics should NEVER trim calluses at home. Reduced sensation means injuries don’t hurt — but can become ulcers. Professional debridement every 9 weeks is Medicare-covered. Saves limbs.

Risk of DIY

Home pumice/cutting risks cuts, infection, ulceration. One small slip can lead to amputation.

FAQ
