Corns are thickened areas of skin that develop over a toe joint, often due to a condition known as “hammertoe.” These growths can sometimes be linked to bursitis, which is the inflammation of a small pouch above the affected joint. If not treated, corns can hinder the toe’s normal function, leading to limited mobility and increasing the risk of ulceration and infection.
