According to the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, a common cold is not a disease entity, but in the case of a runny nose or sore throat, we often say that "I have caught a cold". It is no different in the case of ailments occurring on the feet - overgrown thickenings, blisters and inflammation, all this is collectively referred to as "corns". By analyzing the results of consumers' inquiries in search engines, it can be stated that our society is only exposed to the formation of corns. This is a problem because each ailment requires specific treatment. Poorly diagnosed ailment is not treated properly and, consequently, "does not pass".
The causes of various painful changes in the feet can very often be similar, but the treatment methods differ depending on the type of the change, so before taking any steps at the beginning you should recognise what the specific ailment is.
Blisters are formed as a result of friction or pressure, then the outer layers of the skin separate from the deeper ones. Blisters are often (but not always) filled with serous fluid (fluid is displaced from the tissues also due to pressure).
The blister itself is not dangerous, but of course it is painful and makes it difficult to walk normally. Some people believe that the bladder needs to be pierced to get rid of fluid and speed up healing. This is not a good solution, because if we do it in uncontrolled conditions, without taking care of hygiene, an ordinary blister can cause general infection of the body if an infection is introduced into it during piercing.
The safest way to get rid of the blister is to use a hydrocolloid dressing which facilitates and speeds up the healing process, absorbs shocks and insulates against water, dirt and contamination. It can be used for up to 7 days, which is the average time the blister heals.
The hydrocolloid dressing contains a self-adhesive hydrocolloid preparation, which creates optimal healing conditions, does not dry the wound, and on the contrary, ensures proper hydration and supports the healing of blisters. One of such dressings in the TZMO SA offer is the COMFORT PLUSdressing.
Corns also form due to friction or pressure (for example, from poorly chosen shoes). The skin, which is the largest organ in our body, when stimulated by pressure, creates an additional stratum corneum by accelerating the production of flattened horny cells and the thickening of collagen fibers. This produces thick areas called corns. Additional factors that increase the risk of corns are obesity, abnormal gait, chronic disease (diabetes) or prolonged pressure, such as from standing for a long time. Genetic factors or a loss in skin elasticity can also lead to corns. There are several reasons for the formation of corns, but we are always responsible for those on the feet, choosing the wrong shoes (too tight or too loose, worn on the bare foot, burdening only one place).
In the corn there is a core (or, alternatively, a root), which has a conical shape and its sharp tip points deep into the skin and causes pain when walking. Clavus, on the other hand, is a variaThere is no single "right" way to fight corns - they are diverse and in some cases it becomes necessary to cut it out, but it is better not to do it yourself and entrust the matter to a professional. In any case, the first thing to do is to change the shoes to more comfortable ones and to apply mechanical protection of the corn from pressure.
Smaller corns can be removed with a corn plaster. The mechanism of operation of such a plaster is quite simple - wearing it for a long time causes the corn to be cut off from the air, which in turn makes the skin soft, and water accumulates in creatine. Thanks to this process, the corn - which is a keratinized conglomerate of cells - softens and is easy to remove. Such type of dressing offered by TZMO SA is COMFORT CORN with salicylic acid and lactic acid, intended to protect against painful pressure on skin lesions, protect against abrasions and help in the effective and safe removal of corns.
Calluses also develop from friction or pressure, and are characterized by accelerated multiplication of skin cells, keratinization, and accumulation of the epidermis. Thicker skin has shock-absorbing and defensive properties. Although the calluses do not have a core which can cause pain, they do not look very aesthetic (especially the larger ones). Therefore it is worth considering their removal. An experienced podiatrist will certainly choose the right treatment plan, although sometimes it will be enough to take a bowl of hot water and a pumice stone.
It would be best if there was no such pain at all, the more that avoiding it is not so difficult. It should be repeated that the most common cause of changes in the feet of healthy people are poorly chosen shoes. And that's why, even if those very pretty heels are on sale, and their only downside is that they pinch (only a little and they will stretch), I will say that it is not worth it. The corn can hurt so much that it definitely outshines the color of these undoubtedly beautiful fuchsia heels. Life without pain is much more beautiful.
