Corns

Description: Corns are specially-shaped calluses that usually occur on thin or glabrous (hairless and smooth) skin surfaces, especially on the top of toes or fingers. They can sometimes occur on the thicker palmar or plantar skin surfaces. Corns form when the pressure point against the skin traces an elliptical or semi-elliptical path. This forms a swirl of tissue, the center of which is at the point of pressure, gradually widening. Read the full encyclopedia entry from Wikipedia- The Free Encyclopedia.
