Corns
A corn also known as a clavus is a callused area of thick dead skin created on the foot where underlying bone presses down. These patches of thick skin can be painful to walk on & are commonly found over the metatarsal arch (ball of the foot) & on the outside of the foot where skin rubs against the shoe. Hard corns appear on dry parts of skin & soft corns on areas of skin that are usually moist (between the toes).‘Corn’ is derived from the Latin word ‘cornu’ which translates as hoof or horn. |
