Corns and callouses are such common painful growths, and yet so many individuals just donīt know what to do to erradicate them. Corns and Callouses develop as the bodyīs defense mechanism to protect bony spurs from becoming injured. Most people envision bones to be smooth like glass, but they are actually "spiculated", meaning they have many rough projections radiating from them. If one of these projections falls in an area that falls directly onto a constant pressure point, the skin will thicken in response, thus forming a callous.
The pressure needs to be removed, such as by wearing a "donut" pad, and, filing excess skin debris away with a pumice stone and applying a product to the skin which helps soften and exfoliate the hard areas. Corns and callouses will continue to form if the bony surface isnīt changed, which is typically impractical. Keep up with your therapy as required to stay comfortable.
