Why am I developing Corns or Callouses?
Corns and callouses develop for two reasons. The first is pressure. The pressure can be cause by weightbearing or by bony prominence. With the added pressure on the skin, the skin reacts to protect itself. It does this by putting layers of tough skin over the top of the area. This is a corn or callous. You can remove the corn but if the pressure is still there the corn will return. The second reason for corns and callouses is friction. This will cause the same skin reaction.
