Corns tiżviluppa minn tħakkik jew pressjoni ripetuti. Corn hija żona speċifika ta 'ġilda mħaxxna, filwaqt li callus hija aktar mifruxa. Corns spiss iseħħu f'atleti jew nies bi problemi tas-saqajn bħal frizzjoni irregolari miż-żraben. Huma wkoll komuni fl-anzjani, dijabetiċi, u amputees. Corns għandu jitqies bħala sintomu aktar milli kundizzjoni waħedha.
A corn, also known as a calvus, heloma, or focal intractable plantar hyperkeratosis, is a type of callosity. Corns are uncomfortable, thickened skin lesions that result from repeated mechanical trauma due to friction or pressure forces. In the literature, confusing terminology is often used to call different types of hyperkeratotic skin lesions. Nevertheless, a corn should be distinguished from a callus, which is a more diffuse type of callosity. Thus, a corn is a well-delimited focal area of hyperkeratosis. This condition is often seen in athletes and patients exposed to unequal friction force from footwear or gait problems, including the elderly, patients with diabetes, and amputees. It should be regarded as a symptom rather than an effective disease.

Corn , magħrufa wkoll bħala clavus, hija kundizzjoni tas-sieq komuni li tidher fil-kliniċi. Hija żona mħaxxna tal-ġilda kkawżata minn frizzjoni jew pressjoni, ħafna drabi bl-uġigħ. Huwa importanti li tiddistingwiha minn kallijiet jew felul. Il-kallijiet huma simili iżda m'għandhomx il-qalba ċentrali u huma inqas bl-uġigħ. It-trattament għandu l-għan li jtaffi s-sintomi u jipprevjeni qamħirrum futuri. It-trattament ta 'din il-kundizzjoni bl-uġigħ jista' jtejjeb ħafna l-ħajja tal-pazjenti, speċjalment għal individwi anzjani jew attivi.
A clavus or clavi (plural) is a frequently encountered condition in the out-patient clinic, known colloquially as a corn. It is one of the many hyperkeratotic lesions of the foot and therefore requires differentiation from other etiologies such as calluses or plantar warts. A clavus is a well-demarcated thickened area of the epidermis that has a central core. This skin lesion is most commonly found on the foot and is often painful. A clavus results from repeated friction, pressure, or trauma to a specific area of the foot. A callus is another hyperkeratotic skin lesion that is similar to a clavus. It is an area of thickened epidermis with less defined borders and is also the result of repeated mechanical stress. Additionally, calluses lack the painful central core seen with clavi. Calluses most commonly present on the hands and feet. The older and the physically active are most commonly affected by clavi. Treatment focuses on symptomatic relief and lifestyle modification to prevent future clavus formation. By treating this painful and sometimes life-altering skin lesion, physicians can have a profound impact on their patients’ lives.
