A member asked:

I have been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis. i also have a patch of thick skin below by toes. the skin is rough and less sensitive to touch. is that normal for plantar fasciitis?

Dr. Stuart Hickerson answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Callus: Sounds like a callus which is an area of skin that gets thickened to friction. A separate cause for foot pain, but not associated with fasciitis. Other than both conditions mean you are on your feet.
