Corns, calluses and cracks do not fade on their own. The main risk is that the pain will increase to the point of making it difficult to walk, and that an infection will set in. However, there are simple solutions to get rid of them at home, without necessarily consulting a podiatrist. The wholesale nail supply distributors will explain everything to you. Read on!

You can turn to dressings specially designed for corns and calluses: these offer protection to the skin, limit the pressure in shoes and therefore relieve the pain. Some contain salicylic acid, to treat and relieve the affected skin.

You can use a foot spa kit, ideally after taking a foot bath in hot water to soften the skin. Be careful not to insist too much with the rasp or pumice stone: the horn acts as a protection for the skin. It is therefore better to eliminate it a little each day, with gentle gestures, rather than trying to make it disappear all at once.

The most well-known active ingredients for fighting corns and other calluses are urea, salicylic acid and glycolic acid. The latter have a chemical action on the skin: they act by dissolving the cells to detach them. Although they are very effective, they can also be irritating for sensitive skin, and exfoliating agents attack dead cells as well as healthy cells.

Some tips for using this treatment properly and benefiting from all its benefits:

Apply it as an attack treatment 2 times a day on the calluses, until you obtain the desired effect. Your feet will soon regain comfort and flexibility!

If corns and calluses persist despite treatment, if they become very painful or if they become infected, it is necessary to consult a doctor or podiatrist who will be able to offer you an appropriate treatment. Disinfectant treatments, removal of the corn, wearing insoles (in the case of hallux valgus in particular) are all solutions that can be offered to you to get rid of calluses and prevent them from reappearing.
