Introduction

Understanding Corns

Corns are a common foot condition that can cause discomfort and pain. They are areas of thick, hardened skin that typically develop on the tops or sides of toes, as well as the soles of your feet. Corns form in response to excessive pressure or friction on specific areas of the feet.

Causes of Corns

There are several factors that contribute to the development of corns:

• Tight or ill-fitting footwear
• High-heeled shoes that put pressure on the toes
• Abnormal foot structures, such as hammertoes or bunions
• Activities that repeatedly strain specific areas of the feet
• Excessive walking or standing
• Not wearing socks or wearing socks that don't fit properly

Preventing Corns

While corns can be bothersome, there are steps you can take to prevent their formation:

• Choose proper footwear that fits well and provides cushioning
• Avoid high-heeled shoes for extended periods of time
• Use protective pads or insoles
• Keep your feet clean and moisturized
• Trim your toenails regularly and properly
