What is Calluses?
Calluses formation is an accumulation of dead skin cells that harden and thicken over an area of the foot. This callus formation is our bodies defence mechanism to protect the foot against excessive pressure and friction. Calluses are normally found on the ball-of-the-foot, the heel, and/or the inside of the big toe. Some calluses have a deep seated core known as a nucleation. This particular type of callus can be especially painful to pressure. This condition is often referred to as Intractable Plantar Keratosis.
