Calluses and corns are caused by repeated pressure or friction on an area of skin. The pressure causes the skin to die and form a hard, protective surface. A soft corn is formed in the same way, except that when sweat is trapped where the corn develops, the hard core softens. This typically occurs between toes.
Corns are not contagious. You can't "catch" a corn. Corns are usually caused by poorly fitted shoes causing an area on the foot to be contantly rubbed.
It doesn't matter how much you touch a corn, you won't "catch" it.
