Diabetes & Foot Calluses – Why Should You Not Ignore Them?-Dr Uday Ravi

 Don’t Ignore Calluses — Protect Your Feet Early-Dr Uday Ravi


Are you living with diabetes and noticing thick or hard skin on your feet? Foot calluses are areas of thickened skin that commonly develop due to repeated pressure or friction. For people with diabetes, paying attention to calluses is an important part of regular foot care.

What Causes Foot Calluses?
Calluses can develop because of:

✔️ Repeated pressure while walking
✔️  Tight or poorly fitting footwear
✔️  Uneven pressure on different areas of the foot
✔️ Changes in the way you walk or distribute your body weight

Why Should People With Diabetes Be Careful?
Diabetes can affect the nerves and circulation in the feet. Because of this, a person may not always notice discomfort or pressure from a callus. Continued pressure can contribute to skin breakdown and foot problems.

Simple Foot-Care Steps
✔️ Check your feet every day
✔️ Look for thickened skin, cracks, redness, or swelling
✔️ Wear comfortable, properly fitting footwear
✔️ Avoid walking barefoot
✔️ Do not cut or remove calluses yourself
✔️ Consider a professional foot assessment if a callus keeps returning or changes

Foot Scan for Calluses
A professional foot pressure/scan assessment can help identify areas experiencing increased pressure. This may help guide appropriate footwear and foot-care advice.

Take Care of Your Feet Early
Are you checking your feet regularly?
If you have diabetes, don't ignore new or persistent calluses. Early attention can help you take better care of your feet.
