Calluses On Feet

CALLUS

Calluses can emerge on any part of the body subjected to pressure and friction. Callus is the thickening of skin that occurs in a protected area of the body; it is composed of inanimate tissue and is painless.

 

CALLUSSES ON HANDS

For instance, do pencil-induced calluses in our hands cause discomfort?

No. Even normal activities, like as wringing a diaper, carrying a bag, and caring for the soil throughout the day, can cause calluses.

 

CALLUSES ON FEET

Due to the inability to distribute our body weight evenly on our feet, when we use narrow, flat, high shoes or due to having flat feet, collapsed foot sole, and high sole, calluses may occur on and on the sole of the finger, under our plantar fasciitis bone, on the side of our thumb.

 

CALLUS TREATMENT

We must first determine the problems with walking. We should never utilize wet pumice, cutting, mowing (pedicure) treatments, or callus tapes. When we perform these actions, our brain receives a signal that there is damage that must be repaired. This regenerates the damage at the calloused spot in a systematic manner and to a greater degree. Therefore, the most accurate technique is to protect that point with insoles, slippers, and pressure relief equipment for the pressure problem, to reduce the pressure occurring there, and to gradually clean the callus that has formed, rather than all at once. This duration should not exceed 21 days. Since the skin layer of each part of our body is different, not all moisturizers are appropriate; therefore, it is essential to select a suitable moisturizer. The shoes and slippers you will wear should neither be flat nor have a heel. There should be a balanced measurement between the front part and the heel; if the heel is 8 cm, the front part should be 5 cm. The toe of the shoe should be round, and the inner depth should be high. We should be able to comfortably open and close our fingers upwards, inwards, and outwards without our fingers being bent. Even when wearing socks, there should be enough room on the toe of the shoe for them to move freely.
