Yes. Corns and calluses often recur if the underlying cause, such as ill-fitting footwear, foot structure or a bone deformity like a bunion or hammer toe, is not addressed. An experienced podiatrist can safely remove thickened skin to relieve discomfort and also identify the likely cause, provide footwear advice and assess whether an orthotic insole may help reduce pressure and prevent recurrence. If you have diabetes or poor circulation, you should always seek professional advice before attempting to treat a corn or callus yourself.
