Home Foot Care Tips:

Our ** hierarchy is divided into 3 layers from outside to inside: epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissue. The epidermis consists mainly of collagen cells and non-collagen cells. The greatest feature of collagen cells is that they start from the inner basal layer of the epidermis, grow and continue to grow and eventually form the stratum corneum completely. It takes 3 to 4 weeks for epidermal cells to grow from the basal layer to the stratum corneum. This time is called the "epidermal growth cycle". The metabolic cycle of the foot is ** 27 days.

In a person's life, metabolism continues all the time. ** From the basal layer to the stratum corneum, the growth of collagen cells in the tissue does not stop, and countless collagen cells die every day.

Tips for corns:

Corn is a round soft tissue that comes out of the foot. In the middle of it, a horny substance like nail is inserted. It is yellow in color and looks like chicken eyes, so it is called corn.

The cause of corns is similar to corpus callosum. However, corn is much more painful than calluses, because corn roots or "hard core" are embedded in the breasts, such as "thorns in the flesh", oppressing the sensory nerve endings in the breasts.

Corn grows only on the feet, often on the bones of the feet, such as the back of the toes, outside the little toes, between the soles of the feet and between the toes. People who have bad foot bones are more likely to get corn.

Corners can be divided into "hard" and "soft". Soft corn is usually between two fingers, where the humid environment makes them softer than corn that grows on the surface of the fingers.

The main reason for corns is to wear shoes that are too tight and too tight, especially leather shoes that do not fit well. When the toe is crowded in the shoe and cannot be pulled, the unusual shape and uncomfortable position of the toe, as well as the stretched part of the foot bone, are often rubbed and pressed, which can cause regionalization. After suffering from corns, if the factors of pressure and friction do not improve, not only does the pain increase, but the corns also continue to grow.

For most corns, the simple and effective solution is to choose the right shoes and try to wear comfortable shoes whenever possible.

It is recommended to go to a regular medical institution or hospital to prescribe ointment or plaster. Do not use uncertified "corn patches" or "corn pads", as this can burn corn near the corn, causing swelling and infection. If the area of ​​pain around the corns is relatively large, even if there is no friction with the shoes, it is very painful, and it is possible to develop bursitis or inflammation around the joints. As a temporary ** method - you can change a pair of comfortable shoes, or soak your feet in warm water or magnesium sulfate water for 20 minutes, and then apply an analgesic ointment to the affected area to prevent inflammation. Apply. Go to the medical or orthopedic department of a regular medical institution as soon as possible, to reduce inflammation and relieve pain.
