All too often, corns and calluses are the price we pay for neglecting our feet. Corns show up on the bony area on top of the toes and the skin between the toes.
Corns feel hard to the touch, are tender, and have a roundish appearance.
A small, clear spot called a hen's eye may form in the center. Calluses can occur on any part of the body that goes through repeated pressure or irritation. Common places are on the balls or heels of the feet, on the hands, and on the knees. Calluses are flat, painless thickenings of the skin. Corns and calluses form as a protective response.
