Causes of Corns

Corns are mainly caused by the application of too much pressure and friction. Continued pressure causes the irritated area to grow at a faster rate, leading to overgrowth. This pressure is mainly applied by:

• Shoes that don't fit properly - When shoes are too tight, they squeeze your foot, ultimately increasing the pressure on your foot. When the shoes are too loose, the foot may slide and rub against the shoe, creating friction.
• Skipping Socks - Wearing shoes and sandals without socks can lead to friction on your feet. Socks that don't fit properly also can be a problem.
• Using Hand Tools - Repeated Pressure of using tools on the job, around the house or in the garden, or in a mechanic shop, may cause calluses in your hands.
• Deformed Toes.
• Abnormality of gait (walking)
• Surgery to the lower extremities
• Bunions
• Rubbing against a seam or any stitches inside the shoe.
