What are calluses and why do they form?
Calluses, also known as cracks, are a thickening of the skin that usually occurs on the feet. It is caused by repeated friction or pressure on the skin, which causes the skin to thicken in order to protect itself. This often occurs on areas such as the heels, balls of the feet or toes.
The risk factors for callus formation
Inappropriate footwear
Wearing tight or uncomfortable shoes can lead to excessive friction and promote the formation of calluses.
Being overweight
Being overweight can exert additional pressure on the soles of the feet and promote the formation of calluses.
Standing or walking
Occupations or activities that require prolonged standing or walking can stress the skin on the feet and cause calluses.
