About this step

Corns and cracked heels

Underneath the callus, the complaints that need attention appear. A corn is removed including its core, after which the pressure on the tissue underneath disappears and the stabbing pain goes.

Crack edges are removed and the crack is levelled so it cannot tear further. That is the condition for letting it close afterwards with proper care.

A thickened nail that hurts and a nail edge growing into the skin also belong to this step. Everything is part of the same treatment; there is no separate charge per complaint.

The approach

How it works in practice

The corn

Not only the top but the whole core is removed. If the core stays, the pain returns immediately.

The crack

Levelled so it cannot tear further, then moisturised every evening with a urea cream.

When to see a GP

With pus, throbbing pain or fever a doctor should look at it. Patty will say so.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about this step of the treatment.

Will a corn come back?

If the pressure point remains, yes. That is why the question of where that pressure comes from is part of the treatment.

Why is a crack levelled?

So it cannot tear further. Only then can it close with daily care.

When should I see my GP?

With pus, throbbing pain, persistent redness or fever. Patty will say honestly when that is the case.
