Corn? Wart? Other?: Calluses and corns form naturally to protect areas of skin where there is repeated pressure or frequent friction. Corns and calluses are thickened dead skin material. Corns hurt when they grow bigger and start pressing into the deeper parts of the foot (especially if the corn is on the bottom of the foot). A doctor should examine the bump and see if it could be a wart, which is due to a virus.
