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

They\u2019re mainly caused by friction 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> from 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 comfortable, well-fitting shoes<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Soak feet in warm water, then gently smooth with a pumice stone<\/li>\n
    • Use padding or gel sleeves<\/strong> to reduce pressure<\/li>\n
    • Apply moisturizing creams<\/strong> (like urea-based)<\/li>\n
    • Try over-the-counter treatments with salicylic acid<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      \u26a0\ufe0f If you notice pain, redness, swelling, pus, or no improvement after a few weeks, consult a foot specialist.<\/p>\n

      Taking care of your feet starts with the right shoes\u2014and a little attention goes a long way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
