Callus Treatment

Calluses, which are thickening of the skin, are among the most common problems in the feet. Decapitation is one of the most common problems in the foot.

What hurts a person in the area where calluses have formed is not the thickening on the surface, but the pressure that this thickening puts on the nerves and tissues below. The most important element in preventing the formation of calluses is the elimination of pressure.
Corns, which are usually deeply ‘v’ shaped, are formed as a result of the body’s own defense mechanism in areas that receive a lot of pressure. When the pressure starts and continues, the body automatically begins to thicken its surface in order to protect the deeper layers of skin that produce a network of blood vessels, nerves and new tissue that are deeper. As a result of the thickening of the skin here intensifying over time with the extra pressure caused by exposure to shoes or any other pressure, the lower tissues are affected and therefore pain occurs.

Calluses can occur on the tops of the fingers, between the fingers, on the soles of the feet, under the heel or behind the heel. Decals can occur on the tops of the fingers, between the toes, on the soles of the feet. Genetically, the risk of calluses is higher in people with high soles of the feet.

People with pressure disorders may also experience finger deformation and therefore callus problems over time. Callus problems are more common in people who spend most of their daily life standing up. Shoes that tire and tighten the foot trigger the formation of calluses. The blows received by the feet during some sports increase the risk of calluses. Calluses can also occur on the underside and edges of the nails, although rarely.

For pressure disorders, using shoes and slippers as support to ensure that the body weight is spread evenly over the full soles of the feet minimizes the formation of calluses. The most important point to be considered in the destruction of calluses that have formed and preventing their re-formation is that calluses cannot be completely eliminated all at once. The treatment of calluses is with December cleaning procedures to be performed at the right intervals. The fact that the callus bands used are not very successful is also due to the expectation of treating at one time.

According to the size of the callus, the number of treatment sessions is determined by a specialist podologist. Sessions are held in weekly or 15-day periods.
