CALLUS
The callus is a thickened area of skin usually of the soles. A corn, in contrast, has a nucleated core.
Clinical
The skin is thickened over an area of pressure or constant rubbing. The soles are the most common sites but it also can form at the distal tips of the toes. The callus decreases the flexibility of the skin and a painful crack or fissure may result. Calluses tend to have accentuated skin marking whereas warts do not show dermatoglyphics
