This plantar forefoot callus has built up in response to ongoing pressure under the metatarsal heads

This plantar forefoot callus has built up in response to ongoing pressure under the metatarsal heads. When excess pressure is applied to the ball of the foot, the skin responds by thickening to protect itself. Over time, this callus becomes hard, painful, and can feel like you’re walking on a pebble. In this video, our podiatrist carefully removes the callus with a scalpel to reduce pressure and restore comfort. Instant relief — but long-term management means addressing the cause of the pressure with proper footwear, support, and load distribution. If you’re getting painful calluses from long days in work boots, supportive footwear and arch support can make a big difference. 👉 Learn more about podiatrist-designed arch support work boots at https://ergonx.com.au #podiatry #callusremoval #footpain #forefootpain #metatarsalgia
