Corns and Calluses are incredibly common foot problems, but just like dry skin, they are not something you should "live with." Left untreated, they can cause severe discomfort and alter the way you walk, but they often suggest an external problem. Not an internal one.
Why? Because when your skin thickens this way, it is your body’s natural defense mechanism kicking in. Your skin is trying to build a shield to protect itself from repetitive pressure and friction. That comes from outside.
