When Is Callus Surgery Needed?
For severe cases where nail or callus conditions have progressed into infections, thickening, or ulceration—particularly for diabetic patients—minor surgical procedures may be necessary. We always begin with conservative care but are prepared to recommend surgery if your health and comfort require it.
Our Surgical Approach
When surgery is required (such as for infected ingrown toenails or chronic corns), we use minimally invasive techniques with local anesthesia to ensure minimal downtime and maximum comfort. Our goal is always long-term relief and faster healing.
