A member asked:
Does pressing against my toe cause callus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Toe callus: Callus are caused from pressure and shear forces and this is very common on the toes and prominent areas of the feet from shoe pressure. Hammer toes and bunions make shoe selection much harder as they will callus and can even ulcerate due to the increased pressure. Your local podiatrist can quickly get to the bottom of this for you. Good luck.
