A callus is a thickening of the outermost layer of the skin, the epidermis. In most cases, the callus is located on the sole of the foot, though it can sometimes appear on the palm of the hand. Although a benign condition, a foot callus can nevertheless cause significant discomfort when walking and may even become infected, requiring surgical intervention.

What causes corns and calluses on the feet?

The main cause ofcornsandcallusesis repeated friction between the skin and the shoe, but foot deformities can also lead to the development of corns. In fact, an unbalanced foot or an angled forefoot causes friction thatpromotes the formation of corns.

Friction and/or excessive pressure on the bones of the foot cause the skin to thicken by stimulating the production ofkeratin, the main protein in the epidermis.

In addition to thepainandthickening of the skincaused by corns and calluses, they can also lead to a limp, a shift in weight-bearing that can then lead to bone and joint disorders, and suppuration resulting from infection of the bursa located under the callus or in thearea of friction.

Our Tips and Advice from Pharmacy Experts

How can you prevent corns and calluses?

Choose the Right Shoes

• Avoid shoes that are too tight or too narrow.
• No high heels (3–4 cm maximum).
• Don’t wear shoes that are too big.
• Opt for lightweight, flexible, roomy shoes without seams to prevent friction.
• Avoid shoes with synthetic soles to minimize sweating.

Hygiene Care

• Wash your feet daily with soap and water, and be sure to dry them thoroughly, especially between the toes, to prevent maceration. Residual moisture can lead to secondary bacterial or fungal infections of soft corns.
• Daily use of a moisturizing foot cream is strongly recommended.
