Corns & Calluses

Corns and calluses are your body’s protective response to friction. This can be friction from your shoes rubbing your toes (corns or helomas) or your foot rubbing the ground or the bottom of your shoe (calluses or tylomas). In any case, corns and calluses are hyperkeratosis (thickening of the skin) in response to this persistent friction.
