How do you tell a corn from a callous?

Asked by Supacase (14563points) February 14th, 2011

I have a spot in the center of the ball of my foot that has the feel of a callous. It looks kind of like a small callous, but I can feel it farther out than I can see it – kind of like a callous growing under my skin.

I have used a pumice stone, and although it takes off the rough skin, I can feel it is still there under the surface. It also hurts to walk sometimes. Would a callous cause pain?

What the heck is a corn and how/why do people get them?
