Noticed thick, rough patches on your toes or feet? These are most likely\u00a0corns or calluses<\/strong>\u2014common and usually harmless, but often uncomfortable.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re mainly caused by\u00a0friction and pressure<\/strong>, especially from shoes that are too tight, too loose, or already worn by someone else. Second-hand shoes can be a problem because they\u2019re shaped to another person\u2019s foot, creating uneven pressure points that don\u2019t match yours.<\/p>\n

To protect itself, your skin thickens, forming hard, sometimes yellowish areas made of dead skin. Corns often develop on the tops or sides of toes and can feel like stepping on a small pebble.<\/p>\n

Other less common causes include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Blisters<\/strong>\u00a0from repeated rubbing<\/li>\n
  • Fungal infections<\/strong>, especially from used shoes, causing itching, redness, or peeling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    How to treat them:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Switch to\u00a0comfortable, well-fitting shoes<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Soak feet in warm water, then gently smooth with a pumice stone<\/li>\n
    • Use\u00a0padding or gel sleeves<\/strong>\u00a0to reduce pressure<\/li>\n
    • Apply\u00a0moisturizing creams<\/strong>\u00a0(like urea-based)<\/li>\n
    • Try over-the-counter treatments with salicylic acid<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
