The principle of the patch on the corn
Patches from corns and corns act differently, depending on the type of formation on the skin.
Dry corn is formed most often. It is localized between the toes, on the feet. May occur on fingers. To eliminate it, choose a patch containing acids. It softens the surface layer and causes dead skin particles to exfoliate. After softening the coarsened dermis, the corn is peeled off mechanically, using a pumice or nail file.
Wet callus has a liquid inside that separates the upper surface of the skin from the lower. If such a callus erupts, then erosion will form in its place. The patch protects the bubble from bursting. It creates a kind of barrier preventing infection.
A corn with a core contains not only keratinized skin cells, but also a cartilaginous cone in the middle. When you click on such a formation, pain appears. The patch in this case not only softens the keratinized particles of the dermis, but also dissolves the core inside the corn. Such a product contains acids and alkali. The treatment here is longer than in the previous two cases.
To prevent the formation of corns and calluses, special protective stickers are used. Such products are made of silicone. They help to avoid rubbing the skin with the surface of the shoe. Reduce the likelihood of corns. Invisible to others and comfortable to wear.
