Corns & Calluses

Overview of Corns and Calluses
Corns and calluses are common foot conditions characterized by thick, hardened layers of skin, often developing due to friction or pressure. They are typically found on the toes, soles, or sides of the feet and can cause discomfort or even pain.

​

Causes and Types
These skin conditions are usually caused by ill-fitting shoes, abnormal walking patterns, or high levels of foot activity. Corns tend to be smaller and rounder, often painful, and found on bony areas of the foot, while calluses are usually larger, less sensitive, and located on weight-bearing parts.

Symptoms to Watch For

Symptoms include hardened, raised bumps, areas of thickened skin, flaky, dry, or waxy skin, and discomfort or pain under the skin. These symptoms are often exacerbated by pressure or friction from activities and footwear.
