Corn and Callus Removal in Singapore

Pain-Free Corn and Callus Treatment at Shine Dermatology

Corns and calluses are common foot skin conditions caused by repeated friction or pressure. While usually harmless, they can become painful and interfere with daily activities if left untreated.

At Shine Dermatology, we offer safe, effective, and minimally invasive treatments for corn and callus removal in Singapore. Our experienced dermatologists are committed to restoring the comfort and health of your feet with personalised care plans tailored to your needs.

Why Choose Shine Dermatology for Corn and Callus Removal?

Experienced Dermatologists

Our team of MOH-accredited dermatologists has extensive experience in diagnosing and treating corns and calluses. We accurately assess the severity of your condition and recommend evidence-based treatments that deliver lasting results.

Gentle, Effective Treatments

We use modern, non-surgical techniques to remove corns and calluses with little to no discomfort. Treatments include gentle debridement, cryotherapy, laser therapy, and medicated chemical peels — all performed in a clean, clinical environment.

Personalised Foot Care Plans

Every patient’s feet are unique. We take the time to understand your foot structure, gait, lifestyle, and any underlying conditions. Our dermatologists create personalised treatment plans that target the root cause and help prevent recurrence.

Focus on Prevention and Aftercare

Beyond treatment, we provide practical advice on proper footwear, foot hygiene, and pressure-relief solutions such as orthotics. This comprehensive approach reduces the chances of corns and calluses returning.

Safe for All Ages

Our treatments are safe for both children and adults, including seniors. Whether you're dealing with painful corns or cracked calluses, we provide age-appropriate care for long-term comfort.

What Are Corns and Calluses?

Corns

• Small, round areas of hardened skin, usually found on the toes or sides of the feet
• Often painful when pressure is applied

Calluses

• Larger, broader patches of thickened skin, often on the soles, heels, or hands
• Typically painless but may cause discomfort or cracking if untreated

What Causes Corns and Calluses?

• Ill-fitting shoes (tight, loose, or high heels)
• Repetitive activities like walking, running, or standing
• Foot deformities such as bunions or flat feet
• High-impact sports or barefoot walking
• Poor foot hygiene or skin conditions

Our Corn and Callus Treatment Options

1. Debridement (Trimming) – Thickened skin is carefully shaved using sterile tools. This offers immediate relief from pressure and pain.
2. Cryotherapy – Liquid nitrogen is applied to freeze and break down small or recurring corns. Suitable for targeted removal.
3. Chemical Peeling (Salicylic Acid Treatment) – Medicated solutions soften the thickened skin, allowing natural exfoliation. Often combined with moisturisers and follow-up care.
4. Laser Therapy – Precise laser treatment removes deep or stubborn corns with minimal discomfort. Especially useful for chronic or painful lesions.
5. Orthotics and Footwear Advice – Custom insoles or footwear changes to reduce friction and pressure.

Does Corn and Callus Treatment Hurt?

Our treatments are designed to be gentle and well-tolerated. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, and local anaesthesia is used when necessary. Redness or sensitivity may occur temporarily and resolves quickly.

How Long Does Treatment Take?

• Debridement: Immediate relief, smoother skin in 2–3 days
• Cryotherapy: Corns fall off within 1–2 weeks
• Chemical Peels / Laser: Visible improvement within 1–3 weeks
• Sessions last 15–30 minutes with no downtime

Post-Treatment Care

• Keep feet clean and dry
• Use moisturisers regularly
• Avoid tight or ill-fitting footwear
• Follow your dermatologist’s advice on pressure-relief and footwear

Who Should Seek Treatment?

• You experience foot pain while walking or standing
• Corns or calluses are recurrent or worsening
• Calluses are cracked or infected
• You have diabetes, circulation issues, or foot deformities
