Corns

Soft corns usually emerge seasonally, often between August and October. They develop due to tight toe box shoes combined with prominent bone joints, leading to both external and internal shearing stresses. This causes a thickening of the skin, resulting in a soft corn that can become quite large and may contain an area of ulceration. Soft corns are often mistaken for fungal infections, but unlike fungal infections, soft corns are painful.

Hard corns are dense nuclei of thickened skin, much harder than the surrounding skin. They typically appear on the outside of the little toe and are a response to shearing stress. Hard corns also commonly form on the tips of toes and under toe joints, creating a painful area of concentrated pressure.
