Corns and calluses are common skin conditions caused by repeated friction or pressure on specific areas of the skin. They typically form on the feet and hands as a protective response to prevent further irritation.
Corns often develop on the tops and sides of toes, or on the sole of the foot, as a result of ill-fitting shoes, abnormal gait, or deformities like hammertoe. Calluses, on the other hand, typically form on the palms, fingers, or soles of the feet due to repetitive actions or pressure.
To prevent the recurrence of corns and calluses, it’s essential to continue wearing well-fitting shoes, using orthotics if recommended, and maintaining good foot hygiene.
