A corn refers to a localized thickening of the skin, especially on the toes, and extending into subcutaneous tissue. A corn is usually small and painful.
Symptoms of corns
Found over the joints of the toes
Corns are usually found over the joints of the toes and on the soles of the feet. They are shaped like a pyramid with the apex pointing inwards. They are tender when touched. Sometimes painful and infective warts that occur on the soles of the feet are mistaken for corns.
Causes of corns
Pressure on the toes and skin surfaces of the feet through incorrect footwear
Corns are usually formed as a result of pressure on the toes and skin surfaces of the feet through incorrect footwear.
