Here’s what to do to treat a horn:
Corle horn grows a foot wrong mechanically, unbalanced, which supports excessively on one side. The most common sites are above the little toe and the outer edge of the foot, the birth of the little toe. The angular forefoot promote the formation of horns. Under the influence of weight, the skin thickens and rises. A horn is formed, which increases volume. The pain is fairly fast and discomfort with walking boots.
The confusion is possible between horn and plantar warts. The wart is soft as a stratum corneum. It is dotted with small black spots disease. The salaries of the horn and plantar warts are not the same. The horn should be treated with care, especially for the elderly, if you have poor circulation or if you are diabetic. Do not overlook a single horn, as the risk of chronic infection is real. Caution, do not particularly try not to cut the horn to the blade, or injury by attacking with your fingernail: It will grow back.
What are corns?
It is a thick layer of hard skin that forms by excessive pressure or friction on an area of the foot or other body part. They usually form in areas protruding.
Corns can be annoying but there are several treatments to remove or improve them. If you have diabetes calluses should not be treated at home by the risk of infection must go to the podiatrist or chiropodist (foot specialist physician).
