Thick, hard patches of skin on your feet? It could be a corn. Or a callus. Hereโ€™s how to tell the difference and treat them the right way.

Corns and calluses may seem similar, but theyโ€™re not the same and knowing the difference helps you treat them properly and avoid unnecessary pain.

Calluses are broad, flat areas of thickened skin. They usually form on the heels, balls of the feet, or sides of the big toe anywhere thereโ€™s repeated pressure or friction. They're your bodyโ€™s way of protecting itself. Most calluses arenโ€™t painful unless they crack or build up too much.

Corns, on the other hand, are smaller and deeper. They often form on non-weight-bearing areas like the tops or sides of toes. They can feel like a pebble in your shoe and often become painful over time.

Ill-fitting shoes, high heels, and walking barefoot on hard surfaces can all lead to corns or calluses. People with foot deformities, poor posture, or conditions like bunions are also more prone to them.

So what should you do? Donโ€™t cut them at home. This can lead to infections especially in people with diabetes or poor circulation. Instead, gently file with a pumice stone after soaking, and apply a urea-based cream to soften the skin.

If pain persists or they return frequently, a podiatrist can safely remove them and help you prevent future flare-ups often by correcting foot mechanics or recommending better footwear.

Corns and calluses are your feetโ€™s way of crying out for change. Listen to them. Treat them gently, wear the right shoes, and see a podiatrist when needed before they turn from harmless to harmful.

Barefoot walking can be beneficial for foot strength, balance, and posture - but itโ€™s not ideal for everyone or every surface.

Walking barefoot helps restore natural gait, strengthens foot muscles, and improves balance and posture. It can also enhance sensory feedback and reduce stress, especially when done on natural surfaces like grass or sand.

However, itโ€™s not without risks. Going barefoot on hard, hot, or unsanitary surfaces can lead to injuries, infections, or strain - especially for people with diabetes, foot deformities, or reduced sensation. For those individuals, supportive footwear or custom orthotics may be safer.
