Question

What is the difference between a corn and a wart?

Answer 1

Hint: Warts and corn are basically two-foot conditions that are often confused. Warts can occur everywhere in the body, but the corns only show on the legs. Corns are probably triggered by a bone in the foot that induces strain on another part of the foot or the shoe. They sometimes sit at the top of or between toes.

Complete answer:

	Wart	Corn
1	A wart is a viral infection that can be contagious and spread and propagate, mostly in clusters.	Corn isn't really infectious but is induced by friction.
2	Warts that occur at the ball of the foot are known as plantar warts. These do have tiny black dots mostly on the surface.	Corns start appearing when the influential bone of your foot strains against the inside of your shoe. Pressure causes the skin to thicken at a certain point, making the surface rough
3	Warts are simply infections in the outermost layer of skin caused by viruses in the human papilloma-virus, HPV family.	The flat surface becomes the foundation of the corn which penetrates deeply into the foot. The corn is cone-shaped with a head facing inward, which in turn activates pain in the foot
4	Warts can be controlled much more quickly than when they grew	Corn can be controlled by following the counsel of a dermatologist and by taking required medications.

Additional Information:
Viruses are much more probable to provoke warts when they come in contact with the epidermis that is infected or destroyed. Having a minor scratch or chewing fingernails can lead to warts. Similarly, shaving cuts and nicks can provide a portal for infection. This indicates whether men can have warts in the beard field, while girls have warts on their legs. Wart removal cosmetics from sprays to creams are typically used and include salicylic acid. Warts quite seldom undergo surgical intervention. Good habits like washing your hands, keeping the feet tidy, but not going to pick up warts will help to prevent warts from progressing. Corns can still be easily corrected by resisting tight shoes and prolonged pressure mostly on feet.

Note: Corn is a dense layer that is created by friction and tension. This is why they mostly develop on their feet and legs. Whereas warts get a grainy, fleshy appearance with black outlines, the corns look rather like a raised, rough bump surrounded by hard, dry patches. Another key difference is that corn is not caused by viruses, neither is it infectious.
