When the skin is subjected to excessive pressure from the ground or the shoe, it reacts by increasing the production of cells. The resulting round-shape and yellowish area of thickened hard dead skin is called a callus. This protective shield forms at the points of highest pressure, usually under the ball of the foot (head of the metatarsals).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eSymptoms and causes of metatarsalgia and calluses on foot\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eBall of the foot pain\u003c\/span\u003e, also called metatarsalgia, are often caused by \u003cstrong\u003eprolonged and excessive pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e over a small area.

Moreover, wearing \u003cstrong\u003einappropriate footwear\u003c\/strong\u003e like narrow and small shoes or high heels can increase pain. Practicing certain \u003cstrong\u003esports\u003c\/strong\u003e which involve repeated steps or jumps can also cause pain. At last, the thick layer of fat that covers the ball of the foot wears out and becomes thinner with \u003cstrong\u003eage\u003c\/strong\u003e. As a result, pressure increases over the prominent bones (metatarsal heads), what may make pain worse.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eHow to treat ball of foot pain and calluses?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTo prevent and treat a plantar callus on foot, first choose \u003cstrong\u003eappropriate shoes\u003c\/strong\u003e and wear \u003cstrong\u003emetatarsal pads\u003c\/strong\u003e that relieve you while walking.
