indekscen.pl editorial team · published 30 September 2026 · prices according to the 5 October 2026 index

A basic podiatry treatment, including treatment of the toenails and skin of the feet, most often costs PLN 190 at clinics, with a typical range of PLN 175 ‑ 215. Verruca removal costs around PLN 190, removal of one corn PLN 135, and a treatment appointment for a fungal nail infection around PLN 175.

A podiatrist looks after foot health: trimming and treating toenails, removing hard skin, corns and verrucas, and helping with ingrown toenails and fungal infections. Clinic price lists can be long and confusing because each clinic uses different names for its treatments. We have collected prices from public price lists and compiled them into one table, making it easy to see whether a quote is within the usual range.

What is included in a basic podiatry treatment?

A basic podiatry treatment includes assessment and diagnosis, trimming and filing the toenails, removing excess hardened skin from the nail folds, treating the soles of the feet and disinfection. Clinics typically charge PLN 175 ‑ 215 for this scope of treatment.

The following are usually charged separately:

• Specialist treatments, such as a corrective brace for an ingrown toenail or orthotic insoles.
• Histopathological examination, when the podiatrist removes a skin lesion that needs to be tested.
• Nail polish and extended versions of the treatment, which some clinics price separately.

Preventive treatment costs less than therapeutic or extended treatment, so when comparing price lists, check what is included under each treatment name.

How much does corn removal by a podiatrist cost?

Removal of one corn by a podiatrist typically costs PLN 120 ‑ 150, with a median of PLN 135. The first corn is the most expensive, while each additional corn removed during the same appointment costs considerably less. The procedure itself usually takes about 45 minutes.

Our article corn and callus removal: prices provides detailed prices for corns, calluses and additional lesions.

Can a podiatrist remove a corn and its core?

Yes, removing a corn together with its core, commonly called the root, is a standard podiatry procedure and is included in the corn removal price, typically PLN 120 ‑ 150. The podiatrist treats the hardened skin with a drill or scalpel and removes the core that presses on the deeper layers of the skin. An old, deep corn may require more than one appointment.

Home corn plasters and foot files usually remove only the top layer, so an old corn quickly returns. If the corn hurts or bleeds, or if you have diabetes, do not remove it yourself. Consult a podiatrist or doctor.

Does a podiatrist treat fungal nail infections and how much does it cost?

A podiatrist provides treatment for fungal nail infections by cleaning and treating the affected toenails, which helps medicines work more effectively. A treatment appointment costs around PLN 175 (typically PLN 165 ‑ 190), while a mycological test to confirm the infection costs around PLN 150. Medicines are prescribed by a doctor, usually a dermatologist.

Treating a fungal infection requires a series of appointments, and a new, healthy toenail usually takes 6 to 12 months to grow. For three appointments, the treatments alone cost around PLN 530, excluding medicines and testing.

How much does treatment for an ingrown toenail cost?

Treatment for an ingrown toenail usually begins with a podiatry procedure costing typically PLN 175 ‑ 215, during which the podiatrist relieves pressure on the nail fold and assesses whether correction is needed. A corrective brace is listed separately in price lists, but we do not yet have its price in the index, so we cannot provide a figure. The cost depends on the type of brace and the number of follow-up appointments, so ask the clinic for a quote for the whole course of treatment, not just the first appointment.

How should you prepare for a podiatry appointment?

Good preparation shortens the procedure and allows the podiatrist to assess the problem immediately. With an appointment costing PLN 175 ‑ 215, it is worth making the most of it:

1. Do not paint your toenails before the appointment, and remove hybrid gel polish so the podiatrist can see the nail plate.
2. Do not remove corns yourself for several days before the procedure.
3. Bring your test results and a list of medicines, especially if you have diabetes or take anticoagulants.
4. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting footwear if you are having a corn or verruca removed.

Does the NFZ cover podiatry treatment?

The podiatry treatments in the collected price lists are exclusively private, and patients pay the full cost, typically PLN 175 ‑ 215 for a basic treatment. Appointments with doctors, such as a dermatologist or diabetologist for diabetic foot problems, may be available through the NFZ (Polish public health insurance), but podiatry services themselves usually are not. Ask your medical centre whether it has a clinic that works with the NFZ.

Podiatry treatment or a pedicure from a beautician?

A pedicure from a beautician costs less because it focuses on the appearance of the feet, while a podiatry treatment costs more because it includes diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions. A classic pedicure without nail polish has a median price of PLN 135, one with hybrid gel polish costs around PLN 165, while a medical pedicure at a beauty salon costs around PLN 220.

When to choose a podiatrist instead of a beautician:

1. You have an ingrown toenail, a painful corn or a verruca.
2. Your toenails are thickened, discoloured or brittle.
3. You have diabetes, circulation problems or reduced sensation in your feet.
4. The problems return despite regular pedicures.

Podiatry treatments in Warsaw and Wrocław: are they more expensive?

We do not yet have local median prices for podiatry treatments because there are too few clinic price lists from individual cities. The collected sources include clinics from Kraków, Poznań, Silesia and other regions, and the nationwide range is PLN 175 ‑ 215. Differences depend more on the scope of treatment than on the city, although prices in large cities are often closer to the upper end of the range. When looking for a podiatrist in Warsaw or Wrocław, compare two or three clinics offering the same scope of treatment.

How can you avoid overpaying for podiatry treatment?

• Ask what the basic treatment includes. For a similar price, one clinic treats the whole foot while another treats only the toenails.
• Check the price of additional lesions. The second corn or verruca should cost less than the first.
• Ask about the consultation. If it takes place on a different day from the procedure, it may be charged separately.
• Compare the price with the median. A quote significantly above PLN 259 for a basic treatment should include a clearly wider scope.
