Warning Signs Of Claw Toe

Corns Or Calluses

A patient's feet might develop corns or calluses in response to claw foot. If they wear ill-fitting footwear, the friction might cause the development of calluses and corns. Corns can be found between the toes, usually at the joint, and they tend to resemble warts and are often surrounded by inflamed skin. Calluses, on the other hand, are more likely to occur on the soles of the feet or sides of the toes. They form to protect the tissue beneath the skin from becoming injured. These large, irregular, and thick patches of skin don't tend to be painful, though corns can sometimes be painful. Patients will want to make sure their footwear is adequate to help with this symptom. Claw toe is often confused with hammertoe, a condition that tends to be caused by improper footwear. Unlike hammertoe, claw toe is most often caused by an underlying condition.
