About the disease

Calluses not only cause discomfort and pain when walking, but in some cases lead to various complications.

They differ from ordinary ones in that they have a characteristic compaction or “core”, which consists of dead skin cells and penetrates deep into its layers.

Corn calluses appear due to constant pressure or friction in a certain area. This often occurs due to biomechanical disorders - problems with the bones of the legs, incorrect placement of the foot when walking or running. In response to constant exposure, the skin on the foot begins to thicken. The result of this is the formation of calluses.

The main factor in the formation of calluses is improperly selected shoes. Excessive friction or pressure on certain areas of the foot is caused by shoes (sneakers, boots) that are too tight.

Other reasons for the formation of neoplasms include skin diseases of the lower extremities.

It is important to remember that not every callus can turn into a core callus. This process depends on many factors, including individual characteristics of the body, skin type and the degree of pressure or friction.

Diagnostic features

Diagnosis of a callus begins with a visual examination and study of the patient's medical history. The doctor examines the tumor, paying attention to its shape, size, color and the presence of pain when pressed.

In some cases, additional research may be required, for example, dermatoscopy - a procedure that uses a special device to magnify the image of the skin. This allows you to study the structure of the callus in more detail and determine the presence of a core.

If a fungal infection or other skin diseases is suspected, the specialist will refer the patient for tests.

Methods for removing callus

You can get rid of calluses using a hardware pedicure. Using special equipment, a specialist carefully removes the tumor. The risk of damage to surrounding tissues and the likelihood of developing inflammation or infection are minimized. Other treatment methods include:

  • Laser removal. In this case, a laser is used that destroys the callus, including the shaft. This is a quick and virtually painless method, which, due to the complete destruction of the tumor, helps prevent relapses.
  • Cryodestruction. This method involves freezing the callus using liquid nitrogen. In this case, the neoplasm is destroyed, which makes it easy to remove it later.
  • Electrocoagulation. This method uses high frequency current. This is a safe and effective method that allows you to get rid of callus without leaving scars.
  • Radio wave therapy. A modern and minimally invasive technique that allows you to remove calluses using short radio waves. This is an absolutely painless method with minimal risk of complications and a quick recovery period.

How to remove a callus is decided by the doctor based on diagnostic data and the individual characteristics of the patient’s body.

Skin care after removal

After the callus removal procedure, it is important to properly care for your skin. This allows you to speed up the recovery process and avoid possible complications. Skin care involves:

  • Use of antiseptics. This helps prevent the risk of developing an infection.
  • Protection from loads and friction. In the first days after callus removal, you should try to minimize physical stress on the treated area. Use soft, comfortable shoes and, if necessary, special protective plasters.
  • Moisturizing and nourishing the skin. After complete healing of the tumor removal area, regularly moisturize and nourish the skin. This will prevent the risk of new calluses forming.

The key to caring for your skin after callus removal is hygiene. The products used should be gentle and non-irritating. In order not to provoke inflammatory processes, try not to use preparations with hard abrasive particles.

Treatment at home

Treatment of calluses at home is possible only in the absence of contraindications and after consultation with a doctor.

How to remove a callus and prevent its appearance? There are several methods:

  • Warm foot baths. They will help soften the skin and prepare the callus on the foot for further treatment. Add sea salt or a decoction of chamomile or plantain to a bath of warm water.
  • Use of keratolytic ointments. These products contain ingredients that help soften the skin and help exfoliate calluses.
  • Applying patches with salicylic acid. They contribute to the softening and subsequent exfoliation of the callus core. These patches should be used with caution to avoid damaging the surrounding skin.
  • Use of vegetable oils (tea tree, castor). These products have antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help fight calluses.

Although some methods may be useful for improving skin condition and softening calluses, self-treatment at home is not always effective or safe.

Preventive recommendations

It is important to know how to prevent the appearance of calluses on the feet. Here are some recommendations:

  • Choosing the right shoes. It should be comfortable and properly sized. Avoid wearing high heels for long periods of time. Also, avoid wearing sneakers or boots that cause friction or squeeze your foot.
  • Maintain hygiene. Wash and dry your feet regularly, paying special attention to the area between the toes.
  • Regular foot care. Use peelings, creams to moisturize the skin and timely pedicure treatments.
  • Avoiding direct contact with infectious agents. Do not walk barefoot in public places (for example, in a swimming pool or sauna).

Following these simple recommendations will help avoid the formation of calluses and maintain the health of your feet.
