Understanding Foot Corn and Callus

Foot corn and callus are both common foot conditions that can cause discomfort and pain. These are areas of hardened and thickened skin that develop due to repeated friction or pressure on specific areas of your feet. The primary difference between corns and calluses lies in their appearance and location:

Foot Corns

Foot corns typically develop on the top of your toes or the sides of your feet. They are usually smaller in size, have a hardened center, and are surrounded by inflamed skin. Corns can be caused by ill-fitting shoes, abnormal foot structure, or excessive pressure on specific areas of the foot.

Foot Calluses

Foot calluses, on the other hand, are generally larger and develop on the heels or balls of your feet. Unlike corns, calluses don't have a defined center and are usually less painful. They form as a protective measure by your body to deal with increased friction and pressure in those areas.

The Importance of Professional Foot Corn and Callus Treatment

While foot corns and calluses may seem like minor issues, they can cause significant discomfort and affect your overall foot health if left untreated. Some common symptoms associated with foot corns and calluses include pain, tenderness, and difficulty wearing shoes comfortably.

At The Foot Practice, our experienced podiatrists specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of foot corns and calluses. We understand the unique challenges these conditions pose and tailor our treatment plans to address your specific needs effectively.
