Symptoms of Corns
- A hard, rounded bump with a central core
- Tenderness or sharp pain when pressed
- Skin appears thick, waxy, or scaly
- Discomfort that worsens with tight or ill-fitting shoes
- Redness and swelling (in severe cases)
Causes and Risk Factors of Corn
Corns form when skin tries to protect itself from pressure and friction. Common causes:
- Wearing tight or high-heeled shoes
- Abnormal foot shapes (bunions, hammertoes)
- Frequently walking barefoot or on hard surfaces
- Improper foot posture or gait
- Lack of moisture, making skin prone to cracking
- Chronic conditions like diabetes or arthritis that affect foot health
When to See a Doctor?
Although most corns can be managed with home care, seek medical attention if you notice:
- Severe or worsening pain
- Redness, warmth, or signs of infection
- Corns that affect your ability to walk
- Underlying conditions (diabetes, circulation issues) that complicate foot health
