Removal of corns
Each of us at least once in our life faced the problem of plantar callosities or corns. Most often, they arise due to uncomfortable, tight shoes, in which the comfort of the feet is sacrificed for the sake of beauty. But in some cases, hyperkeratosis, which is exactly what calluses are called in medical terminology, occurs due to a peculiar structure of the foot, a number of diseases or taking certain medications. In any case, this is not a very pleasant phenomenon that needs to be eliminated as soon as possible.
If you experience symptoms of an illness, please consult a doctor.
What is the difference between a plantar callositу and a corn?
A plantar callosity is a thickening of the skin of the foot that occurs as a result of excessive pressure on certain areas of the skin. More often they are formed in the fair sex, this is a kind of "price" for wearing high heels. If the problem of uncomfortable shoes is not solved, over time, dry calluses form on the soles of the feet - a source of constant and quite noticeable discomfort. Most often, they are formed on the pads of the fingers and between them. In some cases, calluses may form. They are the most frequent reason for contacting dermatologists and podiatrists, because they cause noticeable pain and discomfort.
The peculiarity of a callus is that it has a kind of "root" that grows deep into the soft tissues, causing pain with every pressure. Often, the cosmetology problem is complicated by a fungal infection, because the dead skin tissue around the corns is an ideal environment for the reproduction of fungi and microorganisms.
