Corns and calluses might look similar, but they tell different stories about your foot health. Both are your body’s way of protecting itself from friction or pressure, but when they become painful or persistent, they’re no longer just a nuisance.
👉 Corns often appear in smaller, concentrated areas, typically on or between the toes, where tight shoes or toe deformities cause constant rubbing. Because they press deeper into the skin, they can become very uncomfortable.
👉 Calluses, on the other hand, usually develop on weight-bearing areas like the heels or balls of the feet. They spread across a wider surface and, while not always painful, can thicken to the point of discomfort or cracking.
What’s most important to know: corns and calluses don’t form randomly. They’re often linked to footwear choices, walking patterns, or underlying issues like bunions, hammertoes, or even diabetes. That’s why professional evaluation matters—removing the hard skin alone doesn’t solve the problem if the cause isn’t addressed.
At FAS The Woodlands, we look at the whole picture: your shoes, your gait, and your health. With the right care plan, whether it’s custom orthotics, safe removal, or preventive strategies, you can walk comfortably and avoid long-term complications.
💡 Healthy feet don’t just happen, they’re maintained. If corns or calluses are slowing you down, let’s fix the root cause together.
