Cornsare a hard plug of skin formed from pressure. ​This solid mass presses on nerve endings which causes sharp pain. Corns aren’t dangerous, but they can cause irritation.

Corns are a cone shape of hard skin caused by pressure and friction which could be caused by ill fitting footwear, changes in foot structure which in turn can affect your gait (the way you walk) or bony deformities. They can be particularly painful and limit walking and footwear. But be aware This provides a buffer and allows the skin to heal. It also stops any further development of hard, compacted corn skin. Pressure corns form when chronic pressure on the skin against an underlying bone traces a usually elliptical path during the rubbing motion. The corn forms at the center of the pressure point and gradually widens and deepens.
