Corns

The body's response to excessive amounts of pressure against the skin manifests itself by forming thick, hardened skin or corns. Corns are most often the result of an enlarged bone or bone spur pinching the skin against a shoe. A corn can be indicative of a pressure point between the toes.

Soft corns refer to corns that exist between the toes. They are the result of two bones rubbing against each other, pinching the skin. Sometimes more than one soft corn will form.
