Calluses & Corns

Understanding Calluses and Corns

Calluses and corns are common foot conditions caused by prolonged pressure or friction. Calluses are thickened areas of skin that develop on the soles or sides of the feet due to repeated friction or pressure. Corns, on the other hand, are small, hard, and often painful areas of thickened skin that usually form on the toes. Both conditions can cause discomfort and lead to more serious foot problems if left untreated.
