Calluses not only cause discomfort and pain when walking, but in some cases lead to various complications.
They differ from ordinary ones in that they have a characteristic compaction or “core”, which consists of dead skin cells and penetrates deep into its layers.
Corn calluses appear due to constant pressure or friction in a certain area. This often occurs due to biomechanical disorders - problems with the bones of the legs, incorrect placement of the foot when walking or running. In response to constant exposure, the skin on the foot begins to thicken. The result of this is the formation of calluses.
The main factor in the formation of calluses is improperly selected shoes. Excessive friction or pressure on certain areas of the foot is caused by shoes (sneakers, boots) that are too tight.
Other reasons for the formation of neoplasms include skin diseases of the lower extremities.
It is important to remember that not every callus can turn into a core callus. This process depends on many factors, including individual characteristics of the body, skin type and the degree of pressure or friction.
