Some Common
Causes of Corns
Shoes mainly. Narrow shoes with tapering toe boxes
crowd the toes, forcing the toes to press against the
shoe. High-heel shoes force the weight of the body onto the
ball of your foot and pushing the toes forward into the
toe box of the shoe.
A lot of shoes, especially women's shoes, look great on the
shelf and on the foot, but are not designed for comfort
and health.
Soft Corns: Soft corns
normally develop between the toes. These ones are from
your toes being squished together when you wear shoes
that are too narrow at the toes. Soft corns are more
susceptible to infections, if the skin opens.
Hard Corns: Hard corns develop
on the outside of the toes, usually over a joint. The
skin is hard and scaly, often forming a crusty, cone-like
shape with a yellowish depression in the center.
