Feet Corn

Causes of corns

The most common cause of corns is the use of ill-fitting shoes, such as shoes that press or are too large so that the foot slides. Conditions that lead to the formation of calluses, such as misalignment of the feet and toes, can cause corns. Corns can also occur due to plantar warts, as calluses will form after the removal of the plantar wart.

Symptoms
