What does callus on feet mean?

Calluses on the feet are caused by excessive walking or long periods of standing. If you wear ill-fitting shoes for a long time in your daily life, calluses may also form on your feet.

1. Walking too much: Calluses on the feet are a common skin disease. Walking for a long time will cause local friction irritation and pressure, inducing thickening of the stratum corneum. It is particularly difficult to treat and prone to recurrence. You need to go to a qualified hospital dermatology department for further diagnosis to clarify the cause. Under the guidance of a doctor, apply desonide cream topically to relieve the symptoms, which can have a good healing effect and improvement.

2. Standing for a long time: If the patient stands for a long time, it will compress the feet, bearing greater weight and friction, so that the feet will feel particularly uncomfortable and painful when walking, and it may even affect the appearance. At the same time, it needs to be ground off with a foot file to restore to normal state.

3. Shoes that do not fit: If patients wear narrow shoes or high heels for a long time, calluses will develop on their feet. In medicine, this is called callus, or commonly known as calluses. Therefore, it is necessary to take a warm bath every night to promote local blood circulation, remove dead skin as soon as possible, and relieve the calluses.
