Callus is the thickening and hardening of an area of ​​the body where it is subjected to a lot of friction and pressure over a long period of time. They can appear anywhere on the body but are most common in the feet. This is not considered a specialist disease, but if you find it inconvenient there are many ways to deal with it.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Handling calluses by folk methods

1. 

   Look for signs of calluses. If your body develops dry, protruding areas, it is likely that the skin is callus. If it bleeds or oozes then this is not a callus, it could be a wart.
   • For calluses, the skin in the middle will be thicker than the surrounding, while the hardened skin has the same sign. It's hard to tell what is a gritty from a hard one, but it's really unnecessary. They can be handled with the same method.

2. 

   
   
   Soak the callous area. This is considered the easiest method to remove calluses. Your skin becomes softer after soaking, and dead skin can be easily removed. Just soak the treated skin with warm water for 10 to 12 minutes. Gently scrubbing with a pumice stone will help remove the callous area easily. Do this as many times as needed.

3. 

   
   
   Use a moisturizer. Just like warm water, a moisturizer helps soften calluses and makes it easier to remove dead areas with a pumice stone. Apply plenty of moisturizer and soak your skin in a water bath to help expand the callus. Repeat this method until the calluses are completely removed.
   • Another great tip is to apply moisturizer and incubate overnight with a plastic bag or socks. The callous area will be moisturized for a long time. After waking up, use a pumice stone to remove dead skin.
   • Alternatively, you can take a shower, apply moisturizer to the affected area and then scrub away the dead skin.
   • Moisturizers with ingredients containing the active ingredient "urea" will be especially effective at removing calluses and hardened bottles.

4. 

   
   
   Do not remove the callous area. As mentioned in the previous steps, you can get rid of the grain with an object with a rough surface. However, do not use sharp objects and intentionally cut calluses. This is extremely dangerous. advertisement

Method 2 of 3: Prevent the growth of calluses

1. 

   Change the shoe style. Calligraphy is mainly caused by wearing shoes that do not match the size of the foot. Buy another more suitable shoe. Try it first and see if you have chosen the right size for your legs. Usually, calluses are a sign that your shoe is tight.
   • If the calluses appear on the tips of your toes, chances are your shoes are not long enough for the foot. Whereas if they appear in the middle of your toes it's because your shoe isn't wide enough, and if you see calluses on the back or near the heel this means your shoe is a bit wide.
   • High heels also leave calluses. Refrain from wearing high heels if you are dealing with calluses.

2. 

   Feet nail cutting. It is very likely that your shoes will suddenly fail to fit your feet because the nails are too long. When the shoe is too tight on the foot, the friction will create that calluses can form and develop more easily.

3. 

   Use silicone shoe night pads. Use shoe pads that are appropriate for your feet and toes to prevent them from rubbing together. This limits friction and reduces the growth of calluses. Place the gasket in an area prone to friction and walk normally.

4. 

   Use protective pads. Insoles or velvet will keep your feet in the most comfortable position and prevent your feet from rubbing against the shoes. Insert insoles where you feel uncomfortable wearing shoes. advertisement

Method 3 of 3: Treatment of bottle feet with medicine

1. 

   Use salicylic acid. There are many ways to get rid of grit with salicylic acid over the counter. Use this acid directly on the callus to be treated, this helps to soften hardened areas. Only applied in the right place to handle to avoid damaging the surrounding healthy tissue. Use this method every day after showering until the calluses are gone.
   • You can purchase patches containing up to 40% salicylic acid, which can be found over the counter. When using the patch, you must first cover the hard skin, then cut the patch to fit the callus. Paste over a period of 48 to 72 hours and ensure that they are always dry. You can use this until the callus is gone; Don't forget to use a pumice stone to remove dead skin.

2. 

   Orthopaedic Surgery. Surgical removal of calluses is rare because they usually regenerate after a period of treatment. If your doctor is considering doing surgery on you, then they are more likely to shave off or correct a deformed part of your leg to make you feel more comfortable and natural. When walking normally, calluses will be hard to reappear. However, this method is rarely used.

3. 

   Medical intervention is required if calluses become infected. If the calluses are painful, swollen, pale iron or oozing, they are likely infected. Doctors will perform minor surgery to drain the fluid or prescribe antibiotics to treat the infection. advertisement
