Abstract
Foot ulcers in diabetes and their associated consequences (including amputation) present a significant burden to both patients and the NHS. The majority of foot ulcers are preceded by callus formation, effective treatment and prevention of callus will, therefore, reduce the burden of foot ulcers in diabetes. Emollients are a commonly used topical treatment for hyperkeratosis/callus, but there is a lack of evidence regarding optimal use in diabetes foot care.
