What are corns?

Corns are mainly caused by some trauma and connective tissue on the skin of the feet. After the onset of the disease, it is related to the local long-term mechanical friction and compression. When the long-term friction and pressure of the feet continue to be poorly functioning, it will lead to some skin malnutrition and inflammation. The symptoms of corns are also relatively obvious. At the same time, it is mainly a disease of the feet. Below we will briefly introduce how to treat it.

You can eat more foods rich in vitamin C and vitamins, eat less spicy and irritating foods, wear more soft shoes, and pay attention to preventing such diseases in your life to keep your feet healthy.

1. Local treatment with commercially available corn ointment: first soak the affected area in hot water, peel off the surface keratin hyperplasia, and carefully peel off the central keratin plug, and apply the corn ointment to this core area. Change the dressing once a week, peel off the whitened part before changing the dressing until the damage falls off.

50% salicylic acid ointment or salicylic acid collodion. First, cut a small piece of adhesive tape according to the size of the corn lesion, and stick it around the lesion to protect normal skin. Apply the medicine on the surface of the lesion, and then cover it with adhesive tape to fix it. Change it every 24 to 48 hours. Before changing the dressing, peel off the softened and whitened part of the lesion until the lesion falls off.

2. Physical therapy can be treated with CO2 laser: local disinfection, local anesthesia, and then CO2 laser burning. Liquid nitrogen can be used to freeze the affected area, but it will cause obvious pain.

3. Surgical excision generally does not require anesthesia. Use a sharp scalpel to make a circular incision at the edge of the thickened keratin in a direction parallel to the lesion. Clamp it with toothed tweezers and cut along the blue line, deep into the base. The corn can be dug out and then bandaged with gauze and disinfectant ointment.

4. Traditional Chinese medicine: Mash the duck gall and apply it topically. Before using the medicine, cut a round hole the same size as the corn on the adhesive tape and stick it on the affected area to protect the surrounding skin. Apply the medicine on the lesions and then cover with adhesive tape to fix it. Change the dressing every five days.

(1) Apply crystal ointment externally.

(2) Soak your feet in a decoction of 30g of Cibotium barometz and 30g of Kochia scoparia. Soak for 30 minutes each time, once a day. One course of treatment is 10 days.

The above is what corns are, as well as the prohibition of smoking, wearing warm or comfortable shoes and pants, and eating less spicy and irritating food. The key to prevention and care is also relatively critical. Wear more soft shoes. In life, you must pay attention to preventing such diseases, keeping your feet healthy, and avoiding the occurrence of some similar diseases.
