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.
Calluses are rarely painful. Corns are smaller â usually about a quarter-inch to a half-inch in diameter â and have a hard center surrounded by inflamed skin. They typically develop on the tops and sides of toes. Corns can be painful when pushed and may cause a dull ache.
