Corns

Corns are yellowish, callus-like growths that develop on the tops of the toes in spots where shoes rub against them. They are usually caused by poor-fitting shoes. If the rubbing continues, corns can become red, inflamed, and painful. Corns are not serious and can usually be treated with self-care.
