What Are Calluses?

A callus is an area of thick, hardened skin that forms as your body’s natural response to pressure or friction. Calluses most often develop on weight-bearing areas of the feet, including:

Bottom of the feet
Heels
Balls of the feet
Sides of the feet
Toes

Calluses protect the skin, but when they become too thick, they can cause pain and complications.

Symptoms of Calluses

Common signs and symptoms include:

Thick, rough skin
Hardened or raised areas
Yellowish or gray skin
Dry or cracked skin
Tenderness or pain when walking
Burning or pressure sensation

In severe cases, calluses can crack open and increase the risk of infection.

What Causes Calluses on the Feet?

Calluses develop due to repeated pressure or friction. Common causes include:

Wearing tight or ill-fitting shoes
High heels
Walking or standing for long periods
Foot deformities such as bunions or hammertoes
Abnormal walking patterns
Lack of proper foot support

Identifying the cause is key to preventing recurrence.
