Corns and Calluses
Corns and Calluses are areas of thickened skin that develop when the skin tries to protect itself from friction and pressure. While they are common, they can be painful and interfere with walking and daily activities if not treated properly.
Causes
- Wearing tight or ill-fitting shoes
- Prolonged pressure or friction on feet
- Foot deformities such as bunions or hammertoes
- Walking barefoot on hard surfaces
Symptoms
- Thick, rough patches of skin
- Pain or tenderness under the skin
- Burning or discomfort when walking
- Dry, flaky skin in affected area
