What causes corns and calluses?

The main cause of corns and calluses is repeated rubbing of the skin on the shoe, but deformities of the foot can also lead to the appearance of corns. In fact, an unbalanced foot or an angular forefoot leads to friction that encourages corns.

Friction and/or excessive pressure on the bones of the foot thicken the corns by stimulating the production of the epidermis' main protein, keratin.

In addition to the pain andthickening of the skin caused by corns and calluses, they can also lead to claudication, load-shifting responsible for bone and joint disorders, and suppuration linked to infection of the bursa located beneath the corns or the area of friction.

How to prevent corns and calluses

Choosing the right shoes

• No shoes that are too tight or too narrow.
• No high heels (3-4 cm maximum).
• No oversized shoes.
• Choose shoes that are light, flexible, wide enough and seamless to avoid chafing.
• Avoid shoes with synthetic soles to limit perspiration.

Hygiene care

• Wash feet daily with soap and water, and dry them thoroughly, especially between the toes, to avoid maceration. Residual moisture is a factor in the superinfection of soft corns by bacteria or fungi.
• The use of a moisturizing foot cream is strongly recommended on a daily basis.
