AB  - Calluses  represent  a  dermatologic  reaction  to  focal  pressure.  They  are  protective  and  should  not  be  treated  unless  they  are  painful.  Ongoing  pressure  may  cause  calluses  to  develop  into  corns.  Corns  have  a  central  hyperkaratotic  core  that  is  often  painful.  Hard  corns  can  resemble  warts,  but  can  be  differentiated  with  incision;  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  often  includes  paring  with  a  scalpel  to  include  removal  of  central  keratin  plug,  but  topical  salicylic  acid  treatments  may  be  more  effective.
