AB Calluses  represent  a  dermatologic  reaction  to  focal  pressure.  Ongoing  pressure  results  in  calluses  developing  into  corns.  Corns  can  be  differentiated  from  warts  when  incised;  warts  will  bleed,  corns  will  not.  The  differential  diagnosis  includes  syphilis,  psoriasis,  lichen  planus,  rosacea,  arsenic  poisoning,  basal  cell  nevus  syndrome,  and  malignancy.  Treatment  for  corns  is  paring  with  a  No.  15  blade  to  include  removal  of  central  keratin  plug.
