🦶 Wart or Corn? Knowing the Difference Can Help You Choose the Right Treatment.
Although they may look similar, warts and corns are not the same.
🔹 Common Wart
• Caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV)
• Has a rough, grainy surface
• May show tiny black dots
• Can spread through direct contact
• Often hurts when squeezed from the sides
🔸 Corn
• Caused by repeated pressure or friction
• Has a hard central core
• Usually develops over bony areas of the feet
• Is not contagious
• Typically hurts when direct pressure is applied
⚠️ Don’t ignore persistent foot lesions. If you’re unsure whether it’s a wart or a corn, getting the correct diagnosis is important—especially if you have diabetes, poor circulation, or ongoing foot pain.
