Treatment of calluses and corns. Modern methods of therapy


Uroderm for calluses

The ointment contains 30% urea.

The product is used not only for calluses.

Indications are also:

  • psoriasis
  • keratosis pilaris
  • ichthyosis
  • onychomycosis
  • ingrown nail
  • eczema

Uroderm is used for skin care for diabetes.

For preventive purposes, it is used for rough skin of the hands or feet.

Urea has a keratolytic effect.

It eliminates excess keratinization of the skin.

How it works:

  • Urea loosens keratin by breaking down molecular bonds in protein molecules.
  • Moisturizes the skin by attaching water molecules.
  • Inhibits the formation of keratin.

The product is applied to the callus 2 times a day.

You can use a bandage if severe peeling occurs.

Sometimes Uroderm is applied under a patch for 2-8 hours.

Side effects:

  • itchy skin
  • redness

Main symptoms

The main manifestations are pain and difficulty walking.

Constant pressure leads to redness of the skin, swelling, and noticeable pain. A subcutaneous bubble forms. It fills with clear body fluid. The walls are tense.

When damaged, the water callus opens and fluid flows out. An opened watery callus can lead to severe inflammation. In some cases, abscesses form - purulent infections. They can develop in subcutaneous tissue, muscles, bones, and organs.

Tearing of the bladder wall increases the risk of contracting a staph or streptococcal infection. This is evidenced by larger redness, pain without friction, additional yellowish formations, pus, and increased temperature. Treatment depends on the stage of development.

Foretal cream for corns and calluses

Cream for corns and calluses Foretal is designed to stimulate exfoliation and self-renewal of the skin.

It is smeared 2 times a day.

A bandage is required to enhance the effect.

Usually, the product is used without a bandage to avoid the appearance of calluses.

It is applied under a patch or bandage to eliminate them.

Often the procedure has to be repeated several times.

After each use, you need to remove the softened skin in the callus area.

Compound:

  • urea
  • imidomerea

According to the instructions, this cosmetic product is not intended to remove calluses, although many use it for this very purpose.

It is recommended for dry skin care.

But there is also a remedy called Foretal Plus.

Its urea content is increased to 25%.

The cream is used to eliminate calluses and combat hyperkeratosis of the feet against the background of mycotic pathology.

Anti-callus patches

To speed up healing, you can use a special anti-callus patch:

  • Compide - suitable for wet and dry corns, relieves pain, promotes rapid recovery;
  • Leuko - disinfects, accelerates healing, prevents the penetration of bacteria;
  • Salipod - softens keratinized tissue, suppresses inflammation, and has regenerating properties.

If the blister interferes with walking, and the patch does not reduce pain, then you should not wait for natural healing. In this case, it is necessary for the dropsy to burst. To do this, you need to carry out the following manipulation:

  • disinfect the corns and nearby skin;
  • make several punctures with a thin needle;
  • let the liquid drain out, squeeze out the remaining residue with a dry cloth;
  • Do not tear off the skin, but press it tightly to the wound and lubricate it with healing ointment (Levomekol, Bepanten).

The procedure for eliminating calluses begins with a bath.

Soda is added to it.

For 1 liter of water, take 1 tablespoon of sodium bicarbonate.

The foot should be steamed in water for 25 minutes.

Then you need to wipe the skin dry and apply Doctor Callus to the skin.

The product is placed under the patch.

It is worn for 1-2 days.

After removing the bandage, the callus softens and can be easily cleaned off.

Sometimes the procedure has to be done 3-4 times if the callus is very dense or thick.

Fast Healing Products

There are many pharmaceutical and folk remedies that are recommended to be used to smear calluses for quick healing if the surface of the blister is damaged:

  • “Rescuer” ensures rapid healing and protects against suppuration;
  • “Synthomycin liniment” helps to heal a wound during an inflammatory process;
  • Vishnevsky balm is used to quickly cure purulent pathology;
  • If you anoint the affected area with 10% Salicylic ointment, the treatment of wet calluses will be accelerated;
  • To quickly cure inflamed dropsy, Levomekol ointment is used;
  • For faster healing, it is recommended to treat a callus that has torn with an oil tincture of the herb St. John's wort (pour a glass of raw material into 0.5 liters of any vegetable oil and leave in the dark for 3 weeks). The pathology is treated by applying a gauze bandage soaked in the composition to the problem area.

Before applying pharmaceutical products to broken calluses on your feet, you must carefully read the instructions and follow their recommendations.

Domix foot cream, softening calluses

Cosmetics manufacturer Domix has many keratolytic products in its portfolio.

Some of them are positioned as a liquid blade.

They soften the skin and prepare it for a pedicure or manicure.

The best product for removing calluses is called Stop Callus.

However, it collects a lot of negative reviews on the Internet.

Many people report that they were unable to remove calluses using the cream.

This is probably due to the fact that the product is prophylactic and not curative.

According to the instructions, Stop Callus is not intended for removing dry calluses.

This is a cream that prevents their formation in the area of ​​constant friction.

It is applied to areas of the skin immediately before putting on uncomfortable shoes.

Contains mineral oil and plantain extract.

So it is not surprising that calluses do not go away under the influence of Domix cream.

Ways to prevent formations

Treating water callus is much more difficult than preventing its formation. To avoid rubbing dropsy, it is recommended to comply with the following requirements:

  • It is advisable to break in new shoes using a special product to soften them;
  • use “footprints” so that the heel does not rub;
  • Don't put on shoes if your feet are wet.

The problem area should heal in no more than 2-3 weeks. For inflammation that lasts longer, the patient should visit a doctor (dermatologist, surgeon).

A wet callus, if it bursts, causes pain and discomfort to a person, so you should not delay treatment and a visit to the doctor. To prevent the development of a pathological process, if you notice increased friction, stick a piece of adhesive tape on the problem area. It is recommended to select shoes according to your foot size and wear them at the appropriate time according to weather conditions. Compliance with hygiene rules reduces damage to the feet by calluses.

Glycolic acid 70 cream ointment for calluses

Peeling is done using glycolic acid.

This is a keratolytic agent.

Keratolytics are also suitable for removing calluses.

However, glycolic acid is not the best option.

It is less effective at removing calluses than urea.

In addition, use at a concentration of 70% is unsafe.

Contact with intact skin may result in chemical burns.

Glycolic acid is more often used in beauty salons or dermatological centers than at home.

In addition, the product causes photosensitivity.

This means that if the callus is located on an open area of ​​skin outdoors, it must be protected from sunlight for several days after using the cream.

Or you need to apply sunscreen on top for at least 1 week.

Glycolic acid is more often used for chemical peels than for callus removal.

Signs of infection and treatment options

The inflammatory process when pathogenic microorganisms enter the wound from a burst callus is characterized by the following symptoms:

  • Painful redness around the callus;
  • Tumor of the problem area;
  • Increased temperature of the whole body;
  • Suppuration of the wound surface.

How to anoint a burst callus:

  • Cut the spines along the edges of the aloe leaf and peel off the skin from the concave side. Apply the fleshy part to the wound and apply a gauze bandage. It is advisable to do the procedure at night;
  • Apply a piece of Kalanchoe leaf, after removing its skin, to the inflamed wound;
  • Before going to bed, steam the affected heel or toe in a warm solution of potassium permanganate. Wipe your leg dry, apply a plantain leaf, and apply a sterile bandage on top.

Neutrogena foot cream for calluses

The product is intended to soften the skin.

On the packaging you can read that it reduces calluses and also prevents their appearance.

Urea reduces the thickness of the skin on calluses.

Gradually they disappear.

The product is applied morning and evening.

It is not intended for immediate removal of calluses.

The urea concentration is low.

Many additional components do not have a keratolytic effect.

If you need to remove large calluses, Neutrogena is not the best option.

It may be advisable to use the product to prevent the re-formation of calluses and corns.

Anti-callus cream Amanita against

Amanita anti is a foot cream that has many uses.

It is used not only for calluses, but also to destroy fungus, eliminate leg fatigue, sweating, and heal cracks and scratches.

A product of questionable effectiveness.

It is assumed that it saturates the epidermis with useful substances, increases the immunity of the legs, renews cells, stimulates blood circulation and kills pathogenic microorganisms.

Contains:

  • fly agaric
  • chestnut mushroom
  • echinacea
  • lofant
  • plantain
  • chaga
  • cowberry
  • willow
  • mint
  • oregano

The product is applied to the skin twice a day.

You can hardly count on a real effect.

There are no components in the composition that could eliminate the callus.
