Also called corns. It is a type of skin keratinization that mainly occurs on the soles of the feet, and is roughly circular in shape. The thickened keratin forms a clearly demarcated keratin plug that is embedded in the skin. It is often caused by mechanical stimulation from shoes, etc., and sometimes inflammation occurs. Treatment is to macerate the keratin with a mixture of collodion and salicylic acid or Speel plaster, or by excision.
