Calluses and Corns
📋Overview
Calluses and corns are localized thickened areas of skin that develop in response to repeated friction, pressure, or irritation. They are common benign skin conditions primarily affecting the feet and hands. Calluses are generally larger, diffuse, and less defined, while corns are smaller, well-defined, and often have a central core. These terms are still widely used in clinical practice and are not considered legacy labels.
