Why does this tiny spot hurt SO much?! 👀
A corn isn’t simply “hard skin”
It develops when repeated pressure and friction causes the skin to thicken and form a concentrated, hardened area.
That’s why a corn can feel you’re stepping on a tiny pebble or needle every time you walk.
Common causes include:
👟Tightly or poorly fitted shoes
🦶Pressure from the way your foot moves
🦴Prominent areas
🔁 Repeated friction
Removing the corn can provide great relief. However, if the underlying problem is not addressed, the corn can come back.
If you keep getting a corn in the same spot, the question isn’t just “ how do I remove it?”
It’s, “why is it forming there in the first place?”
