The term âcornâ is often used interchangeably with callus. Essentially, they are both caused by the same thing, but visually a corn is often smaller, rounder and deeper, and a callus is usually broader, covering a larger area. A âbunionâ is the name for the enlarged bony bump located behind the big toe at the joint where it attaches to the foot.
The ball of the foot, the heel, and the underside of the big toe are commonly affected. Calluses are usually flat and painless. When a callus is conical in shape, penetrating into the deeper layer of the skin and causing pain when pressed, it is called a corn.
