The problem of corns - coarse skin, seals on the feet - is familiar to many, and especially to those of us who spend a lot of time on our feet, wear not the most comfortable shoes (including high heels), are overweight. The root cause of the formation of corns is the incorrect distribution of the load on the heels and the base of the big toe.

Chronic corns often occur in those who suffer from flat feet, in those who like narrow shoes and those who are overweight. Therefore, having removed the roughened areas of the feet once, you should take care of eliminating the causes: try to control body weight, limit the load on the legs, change shoes to more comfortable and loose ones, and also consult an orthopedist.

The corns do not have any roots and do not touch the deeper layers of the skin, so they can be removed both in the salon and at home.

In the cabin

Among the salon procedures, the most popular are the removal of corns using a laser, liquid nitrogen, as well as pedicure devices.

Removing corns with liquid nitrogen is essentially a cold burn.

The first method allows you to completely get rid of the seals, defining their boundaries with great accuracy, the procedure is painless for the client and does not leave any traces of intervention.

Removal of corns with liquid nitrogen is, in fact, a cold burn, in which the rough skin dies off to healthy layers and is rejected within the next few days after the procedure. As a result, the corns leaves, leaving behind a new smooth skin.

Also effective are procedures that include softening hardened tissues (warming baths, acid creams), then scraping them with special pedicure devices and then moisturizing the treated areas.

Houses

Hot salt baths and exfoliation of corns with a pumice stone are available to everyone and are also quite effective.

At home, with corns and in general with rough skin of the feet, special exfoliating masks for the legs successfully help to cope. They are two-layer socks, the inner layer of which is impregnated with a special compound with a high concentration of acids. You should usually keep such socks on your feet from an hour to two (read the instructions), after which you need to wash off the remnants and forget … until the dead skin begins to come off in layers (by the way, do not try to tear it off, wait until everything comes off by itself) … Within a few days, the crusts will finally fall off, and under them pink heels will be waiting for you, literally like a baby. Of the minuses - the extremely unaesthetic appearance of the legs during peeling. Plan to use the mask on days when you don’t have to expose your legs to others.

Hot salt baths and exfoliation of corns with a pumice stone are available to everyone and are also quite effective if this procedure is carried out regularly. You can add ammonia, soda, and even aspirin to the bath.

A pedicure file is a lifesaver that every one of us must have. If, before going out, you urgently need to bring your legs into a divine form - without her nowhere. You can use it to remove rough areas of your feet, and then rinse your feet and thoroughly lubricate the skin with a special moisturizing and emollient cream.

Take care of your legs, indulge yourself at least sometimes with a foot massage, wear comfortable shoes, fight corns in time - and be the most beautiful literally from crown to toe!
