Calluses are thickening of the skin that most often appears on the feet (on the heel or toe area), hands, elbows or knees. The skin then becomes dry and flakes. Without proper treatment, calluses can quickly become a source of pain and turn into cracks, corns, or calluses.
Taking care of your feet on a daily basis and giving them a good dose of hydration is a good solution to avoid calluses. In this article, the nail supplies expert Maryton will tell you everything you need to know to limit their appearance.
To reduce friction and therefore the risk of seeing calluses appear, you must first choose comfortable shoes: wide enough, flexible and breathable. The same goes for socks: choose them preferably in cotton – a material that lets the skin breathe – and well-fitted to avoid friction.
Avoid heels that are too high, which accentuate the pressure on the front of the foot. If you have no choice, you can put gel pads in your shoes to gain comfort and cushioning, and avoid plantar calluses.
Good hygiene is of course essential to avoid all the little foot ailments, whether we are talking about calluses, corns or calluses. Wash and dry them carefully every day, and cut your nails regularly. For health reasons, it’s best to invest in a pedicure kit to take care of and pamper your feet regularly.
If you suffer from diabetes or psoriasis, if you have trouble bending down to take care of your feet, the ideal is to have a regular pedicure session with a podiatrist. The latter will be able to check the condition of your skin, detect any problems (cracks, calluses, mycosis, etc.) and treat them before they become a source of pain and infections.
