Why Calluses Should Never Be Ignored

A callus may seem harmless—but sometimes, it can hide what’s happening underneath.

What You Might Not See

Beneath a callus, there can be:

• Small areas of bleeding

• Early tissue damage

• Increased pressure that isn’t visible

These changes are especially important for those receiving diabetic foot care in Ottawa.

Why This Matters

Without proper care, these hidden issues can progress—often without pain or obvious signs.

How Our Foot Care Nurses Keep You Safe

During your clinic or home visit appointment, we:

• Carefully reduce callus

• Inspect the skin underneath

• Watch for early warning signs

This allows us to take action early and prevent more serious problems.

Consistent Care Makes a Difference

Regular mobile foot care appointments ensure these areas are monitored and managed safely over time.

Takeaway

A callus isn’t just surface-level—what’s underneath matters.
