Skin Problems in the Foot, Corns, Calluses, Fungus & Warts in Whitby
We treat a wide range of skin problems in the foot at our Whitby clinic, including corns, calluses, fungal infections, cracked heels, and plantar warts. These conditions can cause pain, change the way you walk, and lead to ankle, knee, hip, or back issues if left untreated.
Common Skin Problems We Treat
Corns
Corns are small, hardened areas of skin caused by pressure or friction. They often develop on toes or between toes and can feel like walking on a pebble. Treatment includes: debridement, pressure relief, footwear modification, and custom orthotics when needed.
Calluses
Calluses are thickened layers of skin that form in response to pressure. They can become painful and alter your gait. Treatment includes: safe removal, pressure redistribution, footwear guidance, and orthotics to prevent recurrence.
Plantar Warts
Warts are caused by a viral infection (HPV) and can be painful when walking. They often look like calluses but have small black dots and interrupt skin lines. Treatment includes: debridement, topical therapy, cryotherapy, and offloading.
Skin Fungus (Athlete’s Foot)
Athlete’s foot is a fungal infection that causes itching, redness, peeling, and cracking between the toes or on the soles. Treatment includes: antifungal creams, footwear and sock hygiene, and prevention strategies.
Dry Skin Conditions (Xerosis)
Dry skin on the feet occurs when the skin loses moisture and becomes rough, flaky, or cracked. It often affects the heels and sides of the feet.
Common symptoms:
- Rough, flaky, or peeling skin
- Itching or tightness
- Fine lines or cracks
- Painful fissures on the heels
Why Skin Problems Should Be Treated Early

- Pain with walking
- Infection
- Gait changes
- Knee, hip, or back pain
- Difficulty wearing shoes
