Corns & Calluses
You ask a lot of your feet. You cram your feet into shoes and walk around all day. These
actions subject your skin to friction and pressure. Your skin often protects itself by
building up corns and calluses — thick, hardened layers of skin.
Although corns and calluses can be unsightly, you need treatment only if they cause
discomfort. For most people, eliminating the source of friction or pressure makes corns
and calluses disappear. If you have diabetes or another condition that causes poor
circulation to your feet, you're at greater risk of complications. Seek Dr. Lamarra's advice
on caring for corns and calluses.
