What to do if your toes have calluses? Daily care cannot be ignored

We all know that calluses will appear on the toes over time. This phenomenon is mostly related to our living habits. To improve it, we need to correct our bad habits and pay attention to foot care.

Don't get pedicures too often

After a period of time, calluses will continue to grow and need to be cut repeatedly. However, too frequent pedicures can stimulate skin keratinization and cause calluses to form faster.

Change bad habits

Many people like to play with their feet in a very relaxing environment, and they tear off their calluses involuntarily, or use scissors or nail clippers to remove calluses. In fact, doing so will not only easily cause uneven skin at the trimmed area, but also make the calluses more likely to become thicker and harder. For very thin calluses, you should soak your feet in warm water to allow the stratum corneum to absorb moisture, soften and turn white, and then use a light and porous pumice stone to gently rub off the calluses. For local skin that is accidentally torn or bleeding, apply 75% alcohol or put on a Band-Aid in time to avoid infection.

Pay attention to foot care

Wearing comfortable shoes is key to preventing calluses. People who already have calluses on their feet should be careful not to wear shoes that are too big or too tight. They should always wear socks when wearing shoes and can put soft insoles inside the shoes. Do some proper foot massage and care every day, and apply a thick layer of moisturizer on your feet, which is very helpful in softening calluses.

Find a professional to handle it

If thick calluses develop on your feet and affect your daily life and walking, you should see a dermatologist or a regular pedicurist for treatment. They will use a sterilized scalpel or safety blade to remove the calluses layer by layer. Because there are no nerves and blood vessels in the stratum corneum, it will not cause bleeding and pain. But many pedicure shops use shared knives, which directly act on human skin and

The stratum corneum can be infected if it is not carefully punctured.
