Corns: Corns develop in areas of increased pressure and friction. Reducing the pressure should help prevent recurrence. If you've been doing this and they keep returning, the cause may be from a bony prominence in your foot. A small surgical procedure can remove that. Also, other skin conditions can look similar to corns. A biopsy may be warranted to get a difinitive answer.

Depends on the cause: Many things can cause a thickening of the skin. Causes may include: viral infections (warts), friction, pressure, repetitive trauma, and a limitation of joint motion. Some genetic conditions may also cause people to develop calluses on the hands and the feet. Treatment depends on the cause of the problem. Have it evaluated by a professional and get the appropriate treatment.
