Corns vzniká opakovaným trením alebo tlakom. Corn je špecifická oblasť zhrubnutej kože, zatiaľ čo callus je viac roztiahnutá. Corns sa často vyskytujú u športovcov alebo ľudí s problémami nôh, ako je nerovnomerné trenie topánok. Sú tiež bežné u starších ľudí, diabetikov a ľudí po amputácii. Corns by sa malo považovať skôr za symptóm než ako samostatný stav.
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 , tiež známy ako clavus, je bežný stav nôh pozorovaný na klinikách. Je to zhrubnutá oblasť kože spôsobená trením alebo tlakom, často bolestivá. Je dôležité odlíšiť ho od mozoľov alebo bradavíc. Mozoly sú podobné, ale chýba im centrálne jadro a sú menej bolestivé. Liečba je zameraná na zmiernenie symptómov a prevenciu budúcich kurích ôk. Liečba tohto bolestivého stavu môže výrazne zlepšiť život pacientov, najmä starším alebo aktívnym jedincom.
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.
