Corns and Callosities Treatment in Delhi

Corns and Callosities Treatment Overview: Treatment, Procedure, Causes, Cost, and FAQs

Corns and callosities are thick hardened layers of skin that develop due to friction and pressure. They most often develop on the feet, toes, hands and fingers. Corns are smaller than callosities and have a hard centre surrounding by inflamed skin. Corns tend to develop on the tops and sides of the toes and even between the toes. They can be painful when pressed while callosities are rarely painful. Callosities usually develop on the soles of the feet especially under heels or balls or palms and knees. Callosities vary in size and shape and are often larger than corns.

Causes:

1. Wearing ill fitting shoes: Tight shoes and high heels can compress areas of your feet. In loose shoes also, the foot may slightly rub against the shoe.

2. Playing instruments or using hand tools.

3. Balancing bars in the gym.

4. Foot deformities such as bone spurs, hammer toe and bunions can also increase the risk of corns and callosities.
