It tends to be more of a burning sensation and uncomfortable, unlike a corn which is more painful.
If on the feet it tends to occur to those who stand, walk, jog a lot and those overweight, a common area on the feet are on the side of the heel and ball of foot.
If on hands or on knuckles it normally occurs to those who hold and work with tools or those who grip onto objects, i.e cross bar , dumbells in weightlifting and hand- held object sports i.e baseball, cricket , tennis, golf etc…
