Corns and calluses are thick, hardened layers of skin which can cause pain and tenderness. Corns are typically smaller and have a hard, central core, while calluses are larger and more widespread. This can happen if your skin is trying protect itself against friction and pressure.

You can often tell a corn by looking at it. Usually, a corn is a lump of hard skin that is regularly exposed to rubbing or pressure and they can be painful. Calluses are often larger and are rarely painful.
