Calluses and Corns - are caused by shearing and/or plantar pressure. The body will tend to develop a thicker layer of skin to protect surfaces that are in constant exposure to great amounts of pressure/stress. A painful corn is often a warning signs from the body to remind the person that there is too much pressure in that particular spot. Short term treatment of calluses and corns involves mechanical debridement and chemical caustics. Long term treatments may involve routine debridement, footwear changes, and orthotics.
