Quite natural processes invariably leave their mark on the human body. The warm summer was replaced by a rather cold season - autumn, when you need to wear not only warmer clothes, but also appropriate shoes. Feet feel the change very well, because tight, insulated shoes replace loose and light sandals.
Almost the whole day, the skin of the legs is in an
enclosed space, which prevents it from breathing, causes irritation, sweating, a constantly constrained state, as a result - ingrown calluses. What is it, how to cope with such an ailment and what
preventive measures should a person take to prevent this from happening, we will analyze in this article.
Ingrowing callus is a seal of various sizes, which occurs due to a large accumulation of dead cells in one place. This type of corn does not occur spontaneously, as happens when rubbing with uncomfortable shoes, but with prolonged unpleasant pressure on the same area. Launched ingrown callus extends deep into the tissue of the skin and causes a lot of inconvenience to its owner. These include - pain, inconvenience when wearing shoes and, of course, an unpleasant look. Most often, growing callus appears on the big toe or little finger, and also on the sole.
Especially painful and "inaccessible" is corn on the heel. Not only is the sensation not quite comfortable, it’s also the most difficult to cure, so it’s best not to delay it with the start of the procedure.
Before contacting specialists, you can muffle an uncomfortable feeling a bit by bandaging a corrugated tape or gluing a special patch that can be found in any pharmacy to an affected area. At home, it’s better not to wear a bandage - let the skin rest, and you can do several procedures to soften the corns, such as a salt bath. In general, if the growing callus is not new, that is, it occurs systematically in different places, you need to visit the pedicure salon at least once a month.
How to get rid of such misfortune forever? In general, ingrown calluses can be treated with both pharmacy and folk remedies - to whom you like. In addition to corn plasters, which were already mentioned above, there are also corn pads, sponges or rings of felt and other quite effective means. After taking baths with salicylic acid, it is necessary to treat the area with rough skin with a pumice stone, removing all those particles that are possible. Subsequently, you can do a foot massage with aromatic oils or treat the affected, but already cleaned area with castor oil or lanolin.
In general, with a running version of growing callus, it is better to consult a specialist who will quickly and painlessly remove an annoying sore. But, as practice shows, with such problems few people run headlong into the clinic, many are taken for self-medication. If you’ve already started doing it, then don’t back down to the last, in the end, you will succeed.
As a preventative measure, you can only advise wearing comfortable, easy-to-wear, lightweight shoes, and from time to time wearing a corn patch.
