What Are Foot Calluses?
Foot calluses are thickened, hardened areas of skin that develop due to repeated pressure or friction, often from footwear or abnormal foot mechanics.
For seniors, calluses are especially concerning because they can:
- Cause pain while walking
- Lead to cracks or infections
- Increase fall or mobility risk
- Become complicated for diabetic or arthritic feet
Professional care is recommended to safely remove calluses and prevent complications.
Common Symptoms Seniors May Experience
- Thick, hard skin on heels, balls of the feet, or toes
- Pain or tenderness when walking or standing
- Dry, cracked, or discolored skin
- Difficulty wearing shoes comfortably
