Long corns on the soles of the feet often occur, especially for some people who walk more, and uncomfortable shoes rubbing the feet can also cause long corns, so what should I do if the corns on the feet? Let''s take a look at the following introduction:

First, how the corns are formed:
   The reason for the formation of corns is very simple, mainly due to excessive friction on the feet, because the shoes don’t fit the feet and rub the soles or toes, it will grow out after a long time. Corns, that is to say, corns have a very close relationship with the shoes they wear too tight. This requires that when you choose shoes in life, you should wear them as loosely as possible to prevent corns. Wear shoes that are comfortable to minimize compression or friction.
  Second symptoms of corns:
   Corns are mostly found on the feet, especially the soles of the feet, and also occur on the fingers or toes. The shape of the corns is a conical shape embedded in the skin The horny plug, the size of which is generally the size of the needle to the soybean, looks smooth and flat or slightly raised, the color is yellower than the skin, it is light yellow or dark yellow, if you find these symptoms on your feet, it will appear corn.
  Three, treatment of corns:


   There are still many treatments for corns, and there are also some folk remedies. The commonly used methods are corn ointment, drug treatment, tools to dig the corn eye, and corn eye after paste It will peel off layer by layer until the corns are completely shed. Pay attention to the hygiene of the feet when sticking corns, wash them frequently, and insist on soaking your feet with hot water every night to soften the corns. You can also burn the corns with drugs. It is better to use hot water to soak the affected area softly. After removing the cuticle on the surface, protect the surroundings and expose the corns. Then apply various strong exfoliating agents, 15% Ointment, 0.3% retinoic acid ointment, 10% silver nitrate solution, repeat every few days until the tip is dug out.
   If the corns are large, and there is no infection, it can be treated by cornectomy. Multi-point scalpels are used to make circular incisions along the edges of the horny hypertrophy. They are clamped with toothed forceps and placed on the transparent layer. Peel off and dig out the corns.
