In our feet the most common problem is the Corns and callus. The reason behind this problem is due to excessive pressure on an area. Because of the pressure the result is that the skin thickens up to protect itself, but as the pressure continues the skin get thicker until it becomes painful. This is what a callus is. If the pressure is more localized, then the callus become cone shaped and this is what a corn is. In females this problem is more common for the main reason that they tend to wear tighter shoe that cause the pressure behind the problem. The only way to permanently get rid of corns and callus is to remove the pressure that was causing the problem in the first place.
