1.What are “corns”?
“Calls” are dry calluses on the feet, which are dense, keratinized areas of skin. While protecting the soft tissues of the legs from mechanical stress, they nevertheless cause considerable concern and can cause more severe complications. In addition, needless to say, the delicate smooth skin of the feet is aesthetically more attractive than rough, cracked soles...
Most often, the skin on the feet thickens and dries out at the base of the toes and along the outer contour of the heel. The surface layer of the epidermis dies, forming a rough, yellowish crust. In these places, the sensitivity of the foot is reduced. Further mechanical stress during walking can lead to the appearance of cracks in the corns. If the hardened areas are not removed, wearing shoes becomes quite painful. In places of greatest growth and keratinization of the skin, constant discomfort, pain, and burning are felt.
Cracks can deepen into soft tissue and bleed.

2.Why do corns form?
We can definitely say that the predisposition to the formation of corns varies from person to person. For each person, a whole complex of external and internal factors is important here. We have to come to terms with those of them that we are not able to completely change:
- The structure of the foot, abnormalities in the development of the legs (flat feet, bone growths);
- Features of the skin;
- Distribution of subcutaneous adipose tissue;
- Condition of the vascular system of the legs;
- Metabolism, individual characteristics of metabolism;
- Hormonal background;
- Chronic diseases and anamnesis.
If you notice a tendency to form corns, first of all, you need to pay attention to what could cause increased stress on the feet. A number of such reasons are varied and can be corrected:
- Occupation that involves walking or standing during the day;
- Lifestyle, hobbies and activity (running, dancing, ballet);
- Tendency to obesity, excess weight;
- Low-fat diet, vegetarianism;
- Avitaminosis;
- Tight shoes, predominantly wearing high-heeled shoes;
- Fungal diseases of the feet.

3.Prevention of corns
For many people, the problem of corns is chronic.
Folk remedies, cosmetic procedures and foot care bring only temporary relief. In this case, it is worth considering the problem as chronic and approaching treatment comprehensively.
The constant formation of corns always indicates a serious imbalance in the body or disturbances in lifestyle. In this case, the problem should be solved in two ways - along with cosmetic methods, it is necessary to focus on identifying the reasons that cause increased keratinization of the skin of the feet.
Seeking medical help often includes consultations with a dermatologist, orthopedist, and endocrinologist. A systematic approach, the study of anamnesis and lifestyle make it possible to identify the main factors of increased death of epidermal cells. If a connection between corns and health problems is discovered, treatment of the underlying disease always helps to solve the problem with the skin of the feet. The effectiveness of the therapy can be accelerated by local procedures aimed at eliminating skin growths and further prevention:
- Anti-callus plasters;
- Keratolytic cream;
- Hot foot baths;
- Natural and synthetic pumice;
- Softening cream with medicinal herbs.

4. Treatment of corns
In especially severe cases or when a quick, perfect result is needed, methods of surgical removal of corns are used. Modern aesthetic medicine offers painless and effective procedures for tidying up the feet:
- Laser therapy;
- Cryodestruction;
- Hardware pedicure.
Sometimes corns suddenly begin to form on perfectly healthy feet. In this case, it is necessary to carefully study what has recently changed in your general condition or lifestyle. It often turns out that the cause is new shoes, a change in profession, unusual hobbies, or a change in diet. To solve such problems, it is enough to restore balance in the body, reduce the load on the legs, and adjust the diet. If there is a connection with the identification of any chronic disease, you need to focus on its treatment. Properly selected therapy will have a comprehensive positive effect, and the corns will cease to bother you again as you recover.
