You’ve probably seen products for corn removal and callus pads at your local drugstores and supermarkets. You may have wondered about them, and who would need them. Or maybe you’ve had corns and calluses, but they haven’t gotten better. Well, we’re going to talk about your options today.
Corns and calluses develop due to constant repeated friction on the skin of your feet. Thick skin that forms as a bump is called a corn, while thick skin that develops on the bottom of the feet are called a callus. If you’ve had them, you know that not only are they unpleasant to look at, but they can also cause you pain. Unfortunately, the most likely culprit is your footwear.
That’s right, if your shoes are constantly rubbing on feet, the friction will cause your skin to thicken to protect itself. However, the longer it develops, the more likely it is that you may feel pain.
While they are not contagious or life-threatening, they sure can be a huge nuisance. Here are some questions to ask yourself for dealing with corns and/or calluses:
