Warts, Corns, & Calluses
Let’s Talk Skin: What’s Going on with Warts, Corns, and Calluses?
Have you ever spotted a weird bump or tough patch on your hand or foot and wondered what it was? You’re definitely not alone. Warts, Corns, and Calluses are more common than you’d think, and while they might look kind of similar at first glance, they’re actually not the same thing at all.
Our skin puts up with a lot of pressure, rubbing, and daily wear and tear. Sometimes it toughens up or reacts in different ways to protect itself. That’s where these skin changes come in. Think of them as your skin’s defense moves, but each one has its own cause and its fix.
Whether you're someone who loves taking care of your skin or you’re just trying to figure out what’s going on with that stubborn spot on your foot, this guide breaks it down in simple terms and shows you how to handle it with care and confidence.
Warts: Sneaky Little Bumps with a Viral Twist
Warts might look like a random bump, but there’s more going on beneath the surface. They’re actually caused by a viral infection –the human papillomavirus (HPV), to be exact. It gets into the skin through teeny cuts or scrapes (ones so small you usually don’t even notice), and then it triggers a little growth spurt in your skin cells. That’s what forms that classic rough, raised texture.
HPV thrives in warm, moist environments, which is why warts tend to show up on hands, feet, or anywhere you’re in close contact with a shared surface. Think of public showers, locker rooms, or swimming pools. And while not everyone who touches the virus gets a wart, once it’s in, it can be hard to get rid of.
Warts are also contagious. You can spread them through skin contact or by using shared stuff like towels or razors. That’s why it is important to avoid picking at warts and to practice good hygiene, especially if someone in your household has one.
Corns: Little Shields That Can Hurt Like Heck
Corns are your body’s way of saying, “Hey, that’s too much pressure!” They’re thick, round patches of toughened skin that usually form over bony spots like the tops or sides of your toes, or spots that carry a lot of weight, like the balls of your feet.
They develop when your skin keeps getting rubbed or squeezed often by shoes that don’t fit quite right. So your body responds by layering up for protection. That layered spot becomes a corn. Most of the time, they’ve got a hard center and can be tender if you press on them.
The good news? Corns aren’t caused by a virus, so they’re not contagious. And with a few simple adjustments, better shoes, cushioned pads, or gently smoothing the skin, they often go away or at least become less of a pain.
Calluses: Your Skin’s Built-In Armor
Calluses are kind of like your skin’s built-in armor. They form in spots that deal with constant friction, like your hands, heels, or anywhere that rubs a lot. Think of them as your skin getting smart and reinforcing itself.
Unlike corn, calluses usually cover a broader area, feel dry or rough, and aren’t usually painful. You might get them from manual work, playing instruments, walking a lot, or even workouts.
They’re nothing to worry about unless they crack or start to bother you. Usually, soaking the area, using a good moisturizer, and gently filing the thick skin does the trick. And if you want to stop them from forming? Just make sure you’re using the right gear, whether it’s gloves or good shoes.

Skin Tags
Let’s Talk Skin: What Are Skin Tags and Should You Be Concerned?
Have you ever noticed a small, soft flap of skin hanging off your neck, armpit, or maybe somewhere unexpected and had no idea what it is? You’re definitely not alone. Skin tags are super common, and while they’re nothing to be afraid of, they can be annoying, especially when they pop up out of nowhere.
Our skin goes through a lot every day: rubbing, stretching, and folding. And sometimes. In those areas where there’s constant friction, little things like skin tags can appear. They may be tiny, might look a little strange, and sure, they can be kind of awkward when they’re obvious spots, but the good news is: they’re harmless, non-cancerous.
So What Even Are Skin Tags?
Skin tags are those soft, small bits of skin that hang off in places like your neck, underarms, chest, or even around the eyes. They’re usually the same color as your skin (or a little darker) and might feel squishy or flat. Sometimes they’re tiny, and sometimes they grow a bit more over time.
They usually show up where skin rubs together or gets irritated from things like clothing or jewelry. Common places include:
-
Neck
-
Armpits
-
Eyelids
-
Groin
-
Under the breasts
They can start small and stay small or slowly get a little bigger. Some people barely notice them, others feel super aware of them, especially if they get caught on clothes or jewelry.
Why Do People Get Skin Tags?
Honestly, they just happen. Some folks are more prone to them than others. Here are a few reasons they might show up:
-
Friction: Skin rubbing on skin or clothing, especially in warmer climates
-
Genetics: Some people are more prone to skin tags due to a family history
-
Age: They’re more common as we get older since skin loses elasticity with age
-
Weight: More folds = more friction
-
Hormones: Pregnancy, changes in weight, menopause, or other shifts can trigger them
-
Certain health conditions, PCOS and Metabolic Syndrome, have also been linked to a higher chance of developing skin tags
Do You Have to Remove Them?
Nope. You don’t need to unless they’re bothering you. A lot of people leave them alone. But let’s be real, sometimes they snag on clothes or jewelry, or you just don’t like how they look. That’s totally valid.
And if that’s the case, there’s nothing wrong with wanting a clean, smooth look again.
