What is Callus?
Calluses are areas of thickened, hardened skin that develop on the feet as a result of pressure, friction, or trauma. These formations are often large and irregular in shape, commonly occurring on bony areas that support body weight. Some degree of callus formation is considered normal and is typically not a serious issue.
What are Corns?
Corns typically appear as small, round lesions that may be linked to callus buildup. There are several types of corns:
1. Hard corns: These are small, densely packed areas of skin commonly found within aus, often forming in spots where bone pressure is applied to the skin.
2. Soft corns: Usually white or grey, these corns have a softer, rubbery texture and typically develop between the toes due to rubbing or friction and moisture accumulation.
3. Seed corns: These small lesions are usually found on the bottom of the feet and can occur either individually or in clusters, often without causing any symptoms.
