10 Causes of Foot Pain
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Cause #9: Calluses and Corns
Calluses and corns are very similar and often mistaken for one another. Corns are patches of thickened skin that form at pressure points such as on the heels. Calluses, however, are found on patches of skin that tend to experience a lot of friction with objects or other parts of the body.
These are harmless in themselves and often painless. If anything, they help prevent pain and discomfort as they help toughen areas of the skin that might otherwise be vulnerable. If they grow too large, though, then they can become very uncomfortable indeed. There are various treatments available that will help remove, or at least reduce calluses and corns.
