Warning Signs Of Corns And Calluses

Pain Or Tenderness

Patients might experience pain or tenderness in conjunction with their corns or calluses. Calluses often form where there was previously a painful blister, though calluses don't often cause pain. Corns, on the other hand, tend to have a core surrounded by painful skin. If a corn is causing significant pain, patients might need to see a doctor for medical relief. A doctor might refer patients to a foot specialist like a podiatrist if they deem it necessary. However, most corns should be treatable by a general practitioner. There are two main types of corns: hard and soft. A soft corn will be found between the toes, and they'll usually be pale and have a rubbery texture. Hard corns develop on bony portions of the foot and flat, dry skin areas.
