Ointment for calluses on the feet from shoes

Education calluses on the feet caused by the accumulation of dead skin cells that harden and thicken in a specific area of ​​the foot. For most people, simply eliminating the source of friction or pressure causes them to disappear. In some cases, ointments are used for treatment.

Principles of treating calluses on the feet

Calluses not only affect aesthetics, but also cause discomfort and sometimes lead to injury. The thickening becomes scaly and dry over time. Although they usually do not cause much discomfort, some people experience pain when the affected area is put under pressure. They may even crack and bleed.

First aid treatment differs from the type of corn. Emergency treatment is necessary only for wet calluses, damage to which is a risk factor for infection.

Ointment for calluses on the feet is not always used. Unpleasant symptoms can be prevented by reducing or eliminating the circumstances that lead to increased pressure at certain points on the legs.

What groups of local drugs are used

Topical remedies for calluses are categorized according to their effect. In the composition, acids are most often found that soften the hardened places of the skin. The most common acids in ointments are salicylic and benzoic.

Castor oil, soybean oil, flaxseed oil, or mustard oil can help prevent build-ups. Stimulation of local blood flow and additional nutrition makes the skin less susceptible to mechanical stress.

There are also complex medications that soften, dissolve and reject the stratum corneum of epithelial tissue. Keratolytic ointments contain lactic acids, resorcinol or urea.

Treatment of calluses with ointments

Currently, pharmacy structures offer patients a huge number of all kinds of external preparations for getting rid of corns or corns. The most popular of them are based on various acids.

Dry corn

Dry calluses appear in areas of regular increased friction and pressure. A layer of dead cells occurs as a result of mechanical stress. The removal technique includes medications and an operative route.

The formation of a dense skin structure is subject to mechanical exfoliation with abrasive agents. Use a pumice stone or other abrasive to scrape off the skin. The procedure can be uncomfortable, but it will reduce pain when walking.

Nemosol

Ointment for calluses on the feet Nemosol is a therapeutic and prophylactic agent for the care of keratinized skin of the feet and fingers.

The active substance in its composition is a mixture of glycolic and salicylic acid, which has a keratolytic effect.

• Glycolic acid has a local antiseptic and fungicidal effect.
• Salicylic helps to remove dead cells, preventing wound infection.
• Castor oil and lanolin are involved in the process of moisturizing and nourishing the skin, facilitating the rejection of the stratum corneum.

A contraindication for the use of the product is an individual intolerance to any of the components. Discontinue use if signs of irritation or allergy appear.

The scheme of application consists in applying a small amount of cream to the surface of dry corn using the spatula included in the package. A plaster or bandage must be attached over the ointment. After 2 days, the bandage should be removed and the exfoliated corn should be removed with any abrasive.

If necessary, the procedure is repeated until the hardened area of ​​the skin is completely softened. The effect is enhanced by applying a warm foot bath before applying the cream.

Domix

The caring agent is a cream-gel with colloidal silver, lanolin and lemon extract. The silver in the preparation is responsible for the local fungicidal effect. Lanolin makes the skin silky and elastic. Being absorbed into the deep layers of the skin, lanolin has a moisturizing effect. Lemon extract activates the regenerating properties of tissues.

The cream should be applied to a previously cleansed area with gentle massaging movements. The ointment is quickly absorbed and facilitates easy peeling of dry calluses.

Among the contraindications, individual intolerance and allergic reactions to any component of the product stand out. If discomfort or burning occurs, the application should be stopped immediately and the affected area should be rinsed with running water.

Core callus

Cornus is a skin formation in which a hard core or core appears under the surface of dry corn, pressing on muscle tissue, bones, blood vessels, nerve cords or tendons.

Because keratinous skin is hard, the callus should be softened first. A dressing with a 10-20% salicylic acid solution acts as a softening agent, applied to the affected area for several days. Care must be taken when applying a dressing, since salicylic acid softens healthy tissue, provoking an expression.

After softening the integumentary tissues, the corn shaft is removed with a special tool that completely drills out the core. The procedure should be carried out carefully, carefully removing the entire rod. An antiseptic solution is poured into the resulting cavity, then a bandage is applied.

You can remove the corn core without drilling.

To do this, it is necessary to alternate dressings containing preparations that deeply soften the skin:

• 20% salicylic acid solution;
• 3% lactic acid;
• urea;
• carbolic acid.

The compress should be applied for 2-3 days with a break of 1 day. This treatment takes longer and can irritate nearby tissues.

Super Antimozol

Ointment for calluses on the feet, containing plant extracts of meadowsweet, aspen and eucalyptus, is responsible for gentle softening of the corn shaft. The composition contains antibacterial additives that maintain aseptic conditions in the treated area.

The presence of natural ingredients in Super Antimozol can provoke an allergic reaction. In case of individual intolerance, the use of the cream should be discontinued.

The ointment is applied in a thick layer to the keratinized part of the skin, and the top is covered with a bandage or plaster. The procedure should be repeated once a day, each time replacing the cream. In advanced cases, hot foot baths with baking soda dissolved in water help to facilitate the treatment process. It is necessary to apply the cream until the corns completely disappear.

Wartner

The form factor of the product is an applicator pen. The product is intended for the removal of dry calluses.

Contraindications to use are:

• the use of other remedies for corns;
• the presence of redness, irritation, or infection of the skin;
• age up to 4 years.

Pregnant, lactating and people with diabetes mellitus need prior consultation with a doctor.

Highly concentrated trichloroacetic acid acts aggressively against calloused areas. If the substance comes into contact with clean skin, it should be thoroughly washed with plenty of soap and water.

Recommended application scheme:

• holding the handle vertically, turn the tip down with the applicator, then slowly turn the knurled cap clockwise;
• wait 3-5 seconds until the applicator is completely saturated with gel;
• gently spread the gel over dry corn;
• depending on the size of the area, from 1 to several drops are required;
• wait for the product to dry for 10-15 minutes.

Only after complete absorption of the product is it allowed to wear shoes. The use of the drug is allowed for no more than 4 days. After this period, the corn will peel off, it must be completely removed under a stream of warm water.

If the callus has not disappeared, the course is repeated, with a break of 4 days. It is permissible to carry out treatment no more than 4 times.

Corns

Extensive skin lumps form when uncomfortable or tight shoes are regularly worn. Treatment of growths is difficult due to the constant load on the feet.

Steaming the skin of the legs in hot water baths with a strong decoction of chamomile for 30 minutes helps well. Then the softened, hardened skin is treated with a coarse pumice stone. The place that has been wiped dry must be lubricated with a nourishing cream or oil. For these purposes, olive, sandalwood or almond oil is suitable. Wearing socks and taking a horizontal position helps to enhance the therapeutic effect. In such conditions, the skin is softened and moisturized as much as possible.

You should not cut corns. The growths removed in this way will return in a more severe form. In addition, continuing to wear inappropriate shoes will continually provoke relapses.

Foretal

Parapharmaceutical agent Foretal is intended for the treatment of corns. The 10% urea in its composition will provide long-term hydration and keratolytic action. Urea penetrates into the deep layers of the epidermis, retaining moisture in them.

The principle of action of the tool:

• improving the processes of self-renewal of the skin;
• acceleration of exfoliation of keratinized areas.

Ointment for calluses is applied in a thin layer 2 times a day to the previously cleaned and dried area on the legs. The application of a sealed dressing helps to enhance the therapeutic effect.

Among the contraindications, the manufacturer indicates only an individual intolerance to the components of the product.

Aqua peeling

The drug is a complex of plant extracts, antiseptics and keratolytic components:

• Sodium tetraborate is responsible for the local fungicidal and antibacterial action.
• Phosphoric C20-22 fatty alcohol helps the penetration of potassium hydroxide into the deeper layers of the skin, softening thickened, coarse areas.
• Aloe Vera, Sage and Menthol extracts help restore skin hydration by moisturizing and nourishing it.

Do not rinse your feet before using Aquapilling. It is also necessary to prepare a plastic bag or film of such a size that the foot is completely covered. Place a paper towel or napkin on it that completely covers the foot.

A prepared towel is abundantly moistened with a product, after which a foot is placed on top of it. Next, you need to wrap the foot in plastic. The compress is kept for at least 15-20 minutes. For maximum effect, it is recommended to wear warm socks over the plastic wrap.

At the end of the exposure time, the agent is removed together with a napkin and the remnants of the softened layer are removed with a scraper included in the kit. Be sure to rinse your leg with warm water and dry it with a towel.

Depending on the thickness of the keratinized skin, several Aquapilling procedures may be required, but the compress can be done only once a day.

Water callus

A watery or wet corn is a blistering formation filled with a clear liquid. A lesion is formed within a short time in places of intense and short mechanical impact.

After the appearance of calluses, it is necessary to eliminate the mechanical irritant factor. Neglect of this principle leads to further spread of the corn area and disruption of the integrity of its surface.

Shoes and socks are subject to replacement. Wet socks increase the coefficient of friction of the shoe. New shoes should not come into contact with the affected area.

The resulting corn should be sealed with a bactericidal plaster. Ordinary patches are not suitable due to the lack of aeration of the skin. Therefore, preference should be given to plasters with perforation and non-adhesive interlayer.

After removing the mechanical irritant, the affected area should be disinfected. Suitable disinfectants are 70% ethyl or isopropyl alcohol, iodine solution, chlorhexidine digluconate or betadine solution. Antiseptics reduce the risk of corn infection if it ruptures.

Callus piercing should be carried out in the presence of:

• antiseptic solution;
• sterile needles;
• the possibility of bandaging or gluing the puncture site with a plaster.

The puncture is carried out within 24 hours after the formation of the blister. During this period, the integumentary cells still retain their vitality, accelerating the healing process.

The skin around the bladder should be cleaned and hands should be thoroughly washed with soap, an antiseptic, or wiped with an alcohol wipe. A sterile needle should be from a disposable syringe or baked over an open flame.

The puncture is carried out from the side, the needle is inserted at the level of the skin. Carrying out a puncture at an angle contributes to injury to the bottom of the callus. If the volume of the bladder is significant, several punctures are required. After that, you should press on the water bubble with a sterile napkin, accelerating the fluid release. At the end of the procedure, a bandage or plaster is applied.

Ointment for calluses on the feet, especially antibacterial, prevents the infection of calluses. Liniment is applied to the affected surface after removing the old dressing. For treatment, erythromycin, tetracycline ointment or levomekol are suitable. The bandage should be completely abandoned after a firm connection of the upper cortex of the corn with the skin of the foot.

In case of damage or removal of the lining of the bladder, the treatment is carried out as for an open wound. The affected area must be treated with hydrogen peroxide, which removes small impurities and bacteria with abundant foaming. Then the corn is washed with water or a solution of furacilin and an antibacterial ointment is applied, and then a bandage.

Topic cream

Topicrem UR-10 is intended for very dry skin. The active ingredients intensively moisturize the skin, softening and eliminating cracks and calluses in 2 weeks.

Liniment contains 10% urea, which is responsible for moisturizing and maintaining water balance. Glycerin actively nourishes rough skin. Beeswax restores the elasticity of the skin.

Among the contraindications are:

• the possibility of developing an individual allergic reaction;
• inability to use on damaged skin;
• age limit for children and adolescents.

The cream should be applied to dry skin, rubbing in with gentle massage movements. Particular attention should be paid to the driest areas of the skin. The optimal scheme is to use the product twice a day.

Uroderm

The ointment is applied only externally. The area should be treated with an antiseptic before applying to superficial wounds. For severe lesions, it is recommended to use an occlusive dressing or plaster. Use is discontinued after the complete elimination of the stratum corneum.

Dr. Corn

The ointment is one of the most effective remedies for minor skin injuries:

• Salicylic acid is responsible for the keratolytic action.
• Benzoic acid has local anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties.
• Oxygenated corn oil reduces butt and irritation.
• Medical petroleum jelly and paraffin are responsible for the overall nutrition of the skin.
• Plantain extract promotes deeper penetration of active ingredients.
