Corns and callosities - what does this mean

Corns and callosities are caused by the accumulation of dead skin cells on the feet due to excessive pressure or friction. this can be caused by wearing ill-fitting shoes, walking without shoes, or engaging in activities that put a lot of pressure on the feet. the accumulation of dead skin cells leads to the formation of hard, thickened patches of skin, which can be painful and uncomfortable.

What happens during the disease - corns and callosities

Corns and callosities are thickened areas of skin that develop as a result of repeated friction and pressure on the skin. this can occur when wearing tight fitting shoes or when the skin is exposed to excessive moisture. the friction and pressure leads to increased keratin production in the skin, resulting in the thickened and hardened patches. in some cases, infection can occur due to the breakdown of the skin, leading to further inflammation and discomfort.
