Before starting treatment, you need to visit a dermatologist who, using a visual examination, and often dermatoscopy, will make the correct diagnosis;
• core calluses - another unpleasant thing that can happen to the foot - a dense round formation with a core with a so-called plug in the center. The sole or areas between the toes are most often subject to such formations. This occurs due to poor quality or tight shoes. As a result of friction, ordinary calluses appear at first, eventually growing into the skin:
