A callus and a plantar wart are two separate things. A callus develops when the skin thickens in an area of intense pressure. The skin’s outer layer is “dead,” yet it adds to the pressure beneath the foot, creating discomfort. A callus is treated with cushioning and the safe removal of dead skin, which is usually done by a foot specialist in Houston.
Corns do not grow from seeds unless they are grown in a garden or on a farm. Corns on feet, joking aside, do not sprout from a seed or a root. A corn is a thickening of the skin that occurs as a result of pressure. A shoe that is too small, for example, might push on a toe, causing pressure that causes the skin to thicken and develop a corn.
When you have painful corns, all you want to do is get rid of them. That’s why there are so many corn treatments available over-the-counter, even though they might be harmful to your feet.
Plantar warts are a skin infection caused by a virus. The lesion embeds itself in the skin, multiplying and spreading often. Warts can affect anybody, although they are more frequent in children.

Many changes occur during pregnancy, not the least of which is rapid weight gain. Because of rapid weight gain and changes in mechanics and gait during pregnancy, the feet must adjust to the increased pressure and might become painful. Unfortunately, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like Advil or Aleve would be the most helpful, but they are not safe to take during pregnancy.
