A callus on the inside of the foot is a compaction of a small area of skin that appears due to friction against a surface or prolonged pressure on it. An ordinary callus is distinguished from an internal callus only by a small rod, which is located inside the skin in the latter case. These growths usually appear on the soles of the feet, but can also occur in other places, such as between the toes.
Reasons
Internal callus on the foot, the photo of which is not attached for ethical reasons, is very widespread among people who constantly move on foot, suffer from dermatological diseases or wear extremely uncomfortable shoes that can put pressure on a certain place, squeeze it or rub against the skin when moving. For example, sneakers that are too tight or sneakers that rub against the heel can cause blisters.

By the way, when walking for a long time, as a rule, an internal callus appears on the heel or any other plantar part of the foot.
