world? It seems to be widely accepted that you cannot actually play a steel-stringed acoustic guitar for more than a few minutes without first developing some hard skin to protect the nerves from experiencing the intense pain. Initially, deep blisters form and then repeated friction slowly builds the hard layer. As long as the player maintains a frequent regime, there then follows a cycle of abrasion and replenishment, presumably from beneath the skin, otherwise the callus would be worn away in a few days. Soaking the skin can quickly break down the underlying structures and the callus will then detach. This can be a serious problem for professional players who will take whatever steps they can to prevent this happening. (See Julian Lloyd Webber's "Travels with my Cello".) --

Corns are indeed particular types of calluses. I wanted to move the article to a more general name; who wants to link to this huge kibbly article name every time they mean 'callus'? Also, since 'corn' is already in use, the disambig note there pointing to 'callus' is perfectly appropriate. (There are

That's a sentence fragment, all right. But ignoring that, the most obvious interpretation of the second bit is that the point of pressure is found at the center of the path traced by the point of pressure, and the point of pressure widens gradually.

Agreed - there needs to be some discussion of why calluses should be removed; if they're the natural reaction of skin to excess friction, aren't they a useful protective measure? The only situations I've noticed calluses being a problem are if they break and expose a more sensitive layer of skin or

DrGnu23 (primary) here.Ok .. I suppose that indeed Corns and
Calluses of the Skin describes a particular area. More likely it would /should be hyperkeratoses. Corns and callus seem to be mostly on the palms and soles and as such are a 'specialized case' I'm not quite sure where all this should go at

I'd always thought that it's natural for feet to become callused, and it's only because shoes were invented that they aren't usually these days. Without them how could you walk barefoot in the wild, and shoes certainly appeared later than humans! If that's the case (and it's not some other process)
799:
Calluses can lead to infection. The harmful side effects of calluses and why these harmful side effects occur has not been thoroughly discussed and may be helpful. Typically I don't see any harm in some calluses because they may prevent the skin from damage, hence I would want to know what could go

It was mentioned that playing video games, that involve the d-pad can cause calluses on the thumbs. Also, with newer gaming technology such as touch screen technology, you can get a callus on the finger which the stylus lies on. Also you can get a callus from knitting, where the needle rubs against

As one who treats these I can tell you that it is NOT OOS. It may happen that some occupations may cause some pressures; however if you expect to explain KPPH (Keratosis
Plantaris et Palmaris) or Heloma miliare, or even changes secondary to non-shoe wear then OOS fails as an encapsulating category

beneficial in a lot of cases). If it was all that harmful, the body would probably have found a way to get rid of it by now, wouldn't it? Even if I'm spouting bullshit right now and it's not beneficial in any way, the article should mention that (backed up, of course, by sources), since it's very
658:. I guess that human calluses are the primary-interest reference for the word "callus" so I didn't want to make a disambiguation page at the entry for callus. Rather, a disambiguation for cell callus has been added to this page, because callus is used very often in biology research to refer to a "

The article talks solely about possible complications, treatment, yada yada, but is it not true that callus forms as a layer of protection? As far as I know, it's not just a "bug" in the human body, but something that remains in our DNA because it was - at large - beneficial to humans (and still

This page is useless. It doesn't explain anything about calluses. The "causes" that it lists are not causes; they are all the stimuli that trigger caluses, and they are all the same. Do we need to list every kind of human activity involving skin perssure? How about describing the physiological
1202:
This article doesn't discuss the evolutionary aspects or the cell biology. Calluses are harder than other skin: why is that? The formation of calluses is practical, since it provides protection against pain. Is it known in other species? There are a lot of scientific basics missing from this
937:
Someone should write a section about methods of building calluses. It's commonly claimed online (to what accuracy I have no idea) that rubbing alcohol can be used to quickly build calluses, such as if you're a guitar player, and it would be good to establish here whether or not that's
610:
OK, having digested the article contents further, and seeing nothing relevant on the talk page, I'll ask here: Is your argument that, since corns (apparently--I'm way of of my field here) are a particular type of callus, that the title is redundant?
639:
the moment .. lets just let this sleeping dog lie until the general medicine sector gets flying a bit more. I'll probably start to add the special cases (AND some lovely pictures) to all this as soon as I get a bit more handy with the picture thing.

also bone calluses, but they have their own article. Foot calluses are the same type as guitar players get on their hands.) So, yes, the title is redundant, as well as being too long, badly capitalized and overly specific.
1252:, with "lateral", it suggests the callus would be on the other side, i.e. the "outside" edge of the sole, and so is confusing. "Medial" is towards the inner, or "inside" edge in anatomical descriptions.
