Feedback:
Corns (helomas) are small, well-circumscribed, conical, keratinous thickenings of the skin. They usually appear on the toes from rubbing or ill-fitting shoes. The corn may be either hard (heloma durum) with a central hard, horny core or soft (heloma molle), as commonly seen between the toes. Blisters are circumscribed elevations of the skin caused by fluid under or within the epidermis. A callus is a hyperkeratotic plaque of skin that develops because of chronic pressure or friction. Hematomas are a mass of blood caused by a break in a blood vessel under the skin.
