Calluses on the feet — is there any salvation?

The formation of calluses on the surface of the skin of the foot is a protective reaction to constant mechanical stress. The appearance of this kind of "armor" prevents the formation of wounds.

The main reason for the appearance of calloused areas is the wearing of uncomfortable shoes. Over time, the skin layer thickens in the place of constant mechanical action and dry calluses appear on the feet, which give their owner quite unpleasant sensations when touched.

Types of corns

The first sign of an emerging corn is redness and swelling in a small area of the skin. Calluses can be dry or wet.

In the case when the foot is "rubbed" with uncomfortable shoes, redness appears and a bubble filled with a clear liquid appears, which then bursts, it is necessary to remove the remaining skin, as this gives rise to the formation of dry calluses. This type of calloused formations differs from the usual corns in that the dry corn forms a kind of root that grows into soft tissues and causes a lot of pain. After all, if you imagine such a corn in an incision, it will resemble a funnel, the wide part of which is located on the surface of the skin, and the sharp root inside.

If a dry corn does not cause discomfort, then you can not pay much attention to it, it is enough to visit a hardware pedicure specialist a couple of times a month, who will "peel off" the cornification, but if the corn causes pain, then this is already a reason for treatment.

Such a type as a wet corn is exactly the bubble with liquid mentioned above. In addition to the fact that such a corn causes unbearable pain, it will contribute to the formation of dry calluses in the future.

How to get rid of calluses

To prevent the formation of dry calluses, it is important to get rid of its wet variety in a timely and competent manner. To do this, it is necessary to disinfect the bubble with peroxide or furacilin solution until the bubble has dried.

If you are going to wear closed shoes, then the bubble should be sealed with a bactericidal patch. After all, such a corn is nothing more than a wound into which pathogenic microbes can get.

But if it is possible not to use a patch, then it is better, because the bubble will subside faster and the wound will heal. Until this happens, it is better not to visit baths, saunas and other places with high humidity.

In order for the corn to heal faster, it should be opened a day after its appearance to avoid suppuration. The easiest way to do this is with a needle, which must also be treated with peroxide or alcohol before the autopsy procedure, and a syringe needle is also suitable for this purpose. It is better to make a puncture from below so that the liquid flows out, but it is not worth removing its skin, it will protect the wound from contamination.
