FAQ
Got questions? We’ve got you covered!
Corns are areas of thickened skin on the foot, which often present as hard lumps.
Corns are caused by rubbing and pressure on bony surfaces, and usually result from poorly fitting shoes. The skin on the foot thickens as a protective response to pressure and friction.
Calluses are patches of hardened yellow skin, most often found on the heel or the ball of the foot or on the palm of the hand. Calluses are generally larger than corns and less well defined.
Repeated rubbing, pressure and weight cause calluses, as is the case when wearing high heels which shifts the full body weight onto the ball of the foot.
Compeed® corn plasters are not indicated for use on verrucas as they have not been tested in this indication. We therefore cannot recommend that they are used in this way.
Corn & Callus: causes & prevention
Learn how to prevent & treat Corn & Callus
Calluses aren’t usually serious, but they can become uncomfortable or painful if the thick skin presses on the tissue underneath. It’s best to treat them early before they get worse.
