Corns

Corns are thickened areas of skin that develop on the feet, typically in response to friction, pressure, or irritation. They usually form on the top or sides of toes and are a common issue for individuals who wear ill-fitting shoes or engage in activities that place repetitive stress on the feet. Corns serve as a protective response by the body to prevent damage to the underlying skin.
