Corns and Calluses

Corns and calluses are skin problems caused by friction on the skin that can affect your feet. A corn or callus is a hardened area of skin that forms when the outer layer of skin thickens and becomes inflexible. It is usually caused by constant rubbing against a hard or rough surface like a shoe or sock. Corns can be painful and may cause discomfort when walking. They are also fairly common in runners who haven't worn their shoes long enough for their feet to break in to them properly.

Corn and Callus Treatment

Corns can be treated with paring and cryotherapy, which involves removing the hardened skin and treating the area with liquid nitrogen to freeze it. Sometimes referral to an orthopaedic surgeon or podiatrist may be required.
