What Are the Causes of Seed Corns?
The development of corns and calluses is your skin’s way of trying to guard itself from strain, weight and resistance. Corns commonly develop because of improperly fitting shoes. A seed corn, as the name implies, is a small, dry and stiff seed-like bump that can develop anywhere on the foot but typically pops up on the ball or heel of the foot. Seed corns can be prevented by removing the source of the pressure. Corns are not serious and require treatment only if they are irritating.
