How to get rid of calluses and corns?
Spring has come, and women are happy to pass withtired winter boots on light spring shoes and ankle boots. But the new shoes are treacherous: in the store, it seemed comfortable, but it's worthwhile to go to work on new shoes at once, as it turns out that they are rubbing. How to get rid of calluses and corns, which appeared from uncomfortable shoes?First, let's figure out how corn differs from natoptysha - many of them are confused. Corn occurs as a result of prolonged pressure on the skin or friction. There are two types of corns. Wet Corn is a vial with a liquid (lymph) that protects the damaged skin. Dry corn Is a keratinized area, a thick layer of dead tissue.
Sometimes the calluses are taken for calluses. Natoptysh Is a dry area of the skin that arises from wearing shoes with an uncomfortable shoe, close shoes. Natusopsis is more common than calluses. What is the difference between corn and hulled?
Corns usually arise from rubbing the foot, have a small size and a clear border. The wet callus has the appearance of a blister, dry appearancecone, the top of which goes deep into the foot. When wearing tight shoes, pressing on the corn, the corn core acts on the nerve endings and causes pain.
Nutoptysh usually does not arise from rubbing, but fromuneven distribution of load on the foot. For example, if you often wear shoes with heels, a lot of work is done on the front of the foot, and on the cushion at the base of the fingers there are burrs. Natoptysh, in contrast to corn, has fuzzy outlines, can occupy a larger area, but it does not affect the deep layers of the skin.
How to get rid of calluses and corns? First of all - change shoes. If you continue to walk in shoes,which caused the appearance of calluses, no funds will not help. And the further choice of ways to combat calluses and cornses depends on the type of "trouble" and degree of injury.
In the fight against wet calluses (they are still called "dropsy" in the people, although this name is not entirely scientific), many pierce the formed bubble, hoping thus to get rid ofcalluses. In principle, if you do it neatly, disinfected with a needle, and then treated with an antiseptic and covered with adhesive tape, nothing terrible will happen.
However, if you have the opportunity not to pierce- do not do this. As a matter of fact, the formed bubble with a lymph protects a gentle skin and accelerates its healing. If it is sloppy to puncture, you can bring an infection. It is better to treat the wet callus with an antiseptic, seal with a bactericidal plaster and go for comfortable shoes that will not put pressure on the corn. Every 3-4 hours you need to re-processcorn antiseptic and change the plaster. If you are at home, the patch can be removed - so the callus will heal faster. Wet callus must be treated with antiseptics without alcohol - for example, hydrogen peroxide or furatsilinom.
However, sometimes wet calluses are transformed into dry ones. To get rid of calluses of this type is more difficult, especially if their rod goes deep into the skin. Especially hard put out old calluses. To get rid of such calluses will not come out on its own, it can only be made worse. Old chronical calluses and corns are removed in specialized salons using a laser or liquid nitrogen.
But to bring the corn to this state, you need to try. In most cases, you can get rid of calluses and calluses at home. Remember that you can not cut a corn "dry". The best way to get rid of calluses is to rip off the skin of your legs, and then use the means that soften the corn.
Well soften corns salicylic acid and vegetable oils. Salicylic acid is available in the form of creams andointments, and also in the form of special plasters. Using products containing salicylic acid, you need to be careful: the acid can damage healthy skin. Therefore, all the cream, ointments and patches need to be applied only on the corn! Note that get rid of calluses from the first time is unlikely to succeed - you will have to hold several "sessions" with an interval of 3-4 days.
To combat natoptyshami salicylic acid should not be used - it is very "vigorous". Can suffice warm foot baths and pumice or pedicure brushes. From oil on can help and oil compresses. With natoptyshes it is rather difficult to struggle, it can take quite a long time.
But the best treatment is prevention. If you will wear quality, comfortable shoes, then you do not have to wonder "How to get rid of calluses?"
