Both calluses and corns appear on the skin as a result of prolonged or regular mechanical action – pressure and/or friction. Such exposure leads to the gradual death and keratinization of the cells of the surface layer of the skin, which gradually grow, forming solid protective areas at the site of exposure. Yellowish or grayish lumps of the skin lose their sensitivity, do not pose a threat to health and are not contagious, however, they significantly impair the aesthetic appearance of the feet, knees or hands. Callus is a type of dry corn, its characteristic feature is a large distribution area and localization in the area of \u200b\u200bthe soles. An effective and safe solution to this problem is the removal of corns with a laser.
Types of corns and characteristic features of each of them
There are 4 types of calluses:
- Water (soft, wet).
People used to call such calluses dropsy because of the accumulation of fluid under the top layer of the skin. The fluid may be clear or reddish (due to damage to a blood vessel). Soreness and danger of infection in case of improper care of water callus – the main problems associated with its appearance.
Before removing a callus, it is necessary to establish what type it belongs to.
- Dry (hard).
Sometimes dry callus – the result of the development of dropsy, but not always – hard callus can be formed bypassing the first stage. Slow roughening of the skin is associated with moderate but prolonged mechanical action. By itself, such a corn is not painful, but in the later stages it can provoke the appearance of cracks, accompanied by pain.
- Corn.
As stated above, corn is a type of dry callus and is localized on the soles, occupying a larger area than a common callus. As a rule, corns do not cause pain.
- Stud.
A typical place of localization of callus is the interdigital space and feet. This type of corns is difficult to remove by conventional methods due to the structural features of – in the center of the callus there is a hole in which the rod extending under the skin is located.
Common causes of calluses:
- wearing uncomfortable shoes (too tight, too loose or high heels);
- rubbing against the seams of shoes;
- features of work (constant friction and loads);
- sports;
- work in the garden, etc.
