Calluses are areas of thick skin caused by regular or prolonged pressure or friction. A corn is a callus on a toe. Corns and calluses can develop on an individual's foot when their body weight is distributed unevenly. Calluses and corns should be trimmed by your son's health care professional. Trying to cut corns and calluses on your own can lead to infection.
Untrimmed calluses can get very thick, break down, and turn into ulcers.
Make sure there is room in the shoes you are buying for your toes to move. Make sure that your shoes are large enough to fit the thicker sock. They may better distribute your weight onto your feet. Comments and Feedback . Privacy statement .
