An ingrown callus on the foot occurs when thickened skin, typically formed from
repeated pressure or friction, grows inward rather than outward. This can lead to
discomfort, pain, and sometimes infection if not properly managed.

Causes:
. Pressure and Friction: Ingrown calluses often develop in areas where the
skin is subjected to repeated pressure, such as on the soles of the feet, under
the toes, or along the sides of the foot.
. Improper Footwear: Wearing shoes that are too tight, too loose, or have high
heels can contribute to the formation of calluses, which may become ingrown.

. Foot Abnormalities: Structural issues such as bunions, hammertoes, or flat
feet can cause uneven distribution of pressure on the foot, leading to calluses
that may grow inward.
