Corn

Corn is also known as a callus. It is a condition showing thickening of the skin due to extreme pressure and frictional forces. They often develop on the hands and fingers, feet, and toes. The common cause is improper shoe fitting in the legs. Untreated corns result in infection, changes in posture and body alignment. Applying exfoliating lotions and creams that contain salicylic acid can help to manage it.
