Thick foot skin during GLP-1 treatment deserves a care decision before cosmetic trimming.
Start with pressure
NHS describes corns as small hard lumps and calluses as broader thick patches, caused by pressure or rubbing. Roomy, supportive shoes and cushioned socks can help. [1]
Check before home treatment
Do not cut them off yourself. NHS advises older people and anyone with diabetes, poor circulation or weakened immunity to seek a GP or foot specialist instead of self-treatment. [1]
Arrange assessment when needed
Bleeding, discharge, severe pain, disrupted daily activities or no improvement after three weeks of home care warrant a GP visit. A podiatrist may remove thick skin or provide pressure-relieving pads. [1]
