To understand how to get rid of corns, you must first know the nature of their appearance. Corns are, perhaps, the most common foot problem. Outwardly, they resemble roughened areas of skin that do not have clear outlines. Corns are sometimes quite painful and can remain on the feet for several years. Basically, the cause of corns is tight, uncomfortable shoes. Corns can also appear because the load on the feet is distributed unevenly, which usually happens when wearing high-heeled shoes. Chronic corns are almost always evidence of the development of flat feet, so it would not be superfluous to visit an orthopedist who will recommend orthopedic insoles. Corns, unlike calluses, do not affect the deep layers of the skin, which makes it quite easy to deal with them. Corns, in turn, are thickenings of the skin, always painful, appearing on the toes and heels and having clear rounded borders. Corns usually reach only a few millimeters in diameter. Corns can be wet or dry. Wet calluses accumulate liquid, which signals that deeper layers of the skin are damaged, sometimes even blood appears. Wet calluses are treated in the same way as small wounds and cuts. Over time, wet calluses turn into dry ones, which have a core. Dry calluses are much more difficult to treat, so for these purposes it is best to buy remedies for them in pharmacies. Treatment of corns on the feet, as well as calluses, can be carried out in a salon or clinic, where liquid nitrogen, a laser beam and a kind of drill are used for these purposes. But these remedies for corns and calluses should be used only for chronic forms of these ailments. In other cases, it is possible to get rid of these problems at home, which will be much cheaper, both financially and in terms of time costs. So, you now know the essence of corns and calluses.
