* Calluses grow on the bottom of the foot or on the outer edge of a toe or heel.
* A callus may spread across the ball of your foot.
* This type of callus is usually due to a problem with a '''[[metatarsal]]''' - the long bone at the base of a toe, near the ball of the foot.
* A pinch callus may grow along the outer edge of the heel or the big toe.
* Some calluses press up into the foot instead of spreading on the outside.
* A callus may form a central core or plug of tissue where pressure is greatest.

== Purpose ==
The thickening of the skin is a protective reaction.

== Symptoms ==
* Skin is thick and hardened.
* Skin may be flaky and dry.
* Hardened, thick skin areas are found on hands, feet, or other areas that may be rubbed or pressed.
* The affected areas can be painful and may bleed.

== Investigations ==
The diagnosis is usually made by history and physical examination and tests are not needed.

== Treatment ==
[[Prevention|Preventing]] [[friction]] is often the only treatment needed.
* Calluses often occur due to excess pressure placed on the skin because of another problem such as [[bunions]] or [[hammertoes]].
* Proper treatment of any underlying condition should prevent the calluses from returning.
* Wear gloves to protect your hands during activities that cause friction to help prevent calluses.

== Prognosis ==
* Corns and calluses are rarely serious.
* They should improve with proper treatment and not cause long-term problems.

== Complications ==
* Complications of corns and calluses are rare.
* People with diabetes are prone to ulcers and infections and should regularly examine their feet to identify any problems right away.
