Corns and calluses are areas of thickened skin caused by repeated friction or pressure, often from footwear or an underlying foot shape.
Do not cut them yourself
Home cutting risks injury and infection, and it is especially unsafe if you have diabetes. A podiatrist can remove them safely and painlessly.
Prevent the return
The key is addressing the pressure source with better-fitting shoes, padding, or custom orthotics. If a bunion or hammertoe is driving the friction, treating that helps too.
