Calluses and corns develop when the skin thickens in response to repeated pressure or friction. While they may seem harmless, they can become painful and may lead to cracks or infections.

Calluses usually form on the bottom of the foot, while corns often develop on the tops or sides of toes.

Common causes include:
• Ill-fitting shoes
• Foot deformities
• Abnormal walking patterns
• Repeated pressure on certain areas of the foot

It is important not to cut or shave calluses at home, especially for people with diabetes or circulation problems.

A podiatrist can safely remove thickened skin and identify the underlying cause so it does not return.
