Corns
 |
Corns generally occur on parts of the feet that don't bear weight, such as on the tops and sides of the toes. A hard corn is a small patch of thickened, dead skin with a packed center. A soft corn has a much thinner surface and usually occurs between the 4th and 5th toes. A seed corn is a tiny, discrete callous that can be very tender if it's on a weight-bearing part of the foot. Seed corns tend to occur on the bottom of the feet, and some doctors believe this condition is caused by plugged sweat ducts. |
CAUSES:
- Wearing shoes that are too tight or poorly fitted, which rub on your feet.
- Wearing shoes or sandals without socks.
- Wearing high heels.
- Wearing high heels.
- Having a high arch, which adds weight and pressure to the ball of your foot and your toes.
- Having an uneven distribution of weight on your feet as you walk.
- Having sharp bones in your feet that may rub against your shoes.
- Having bony feet that lack typical cushioning.
