What are Corns and Calluses?
Corns and calluses are thick, hardened layers of skin (hyperkeratosis), which can be annoying and sometimes extremely painful as well as limiting the mobility of the person. Homeopathy offers the best, safest and permanent solution to this often recurring and nagging condition.
Corns and calluses develop as a result of the skin trying to protect itself against repeated/persistent friction and pressure. They are classically seen on the bony prominences of the feet, top of the toes as well as on the hands and fingers. Click to read on Causes of Corns & Calluses.
