In most cases, the callus is located at the level of the sole of the foot, sometimes at the level of the palm of the hand. Benign affection, the horn to the foot (or callus foot) can nevertheless cause a real discomfort to the march and sometimes even to infect and require a surgical intervention.
When the shoes are tight, layers of dead and hard skin form. With increasing pressure, the dead layers sink deeper into the skin and a horn forms.
Compeed then acts as a second skin for:
- Relieve pain for 24 hours.
- Protect friction and pressure by cushioning effect.
- Moisturize and soften the horn, thus ensuring its gentle and effective elimination.
The main cause of corns and calluses is due to repeated rubbing of the skin on the shoe but deformations of the foot can also cause the appearance of corns. Indeed, an unbalanced foot or forefoot causes angular friction that promote the horn .
The friction and / or the excessive pressure on the bones of the foot produce a thickening of the horn of the feet by stimulating the manufacture of the main protein of the epidermis which is keratin .
In addition to the pain and thickening of the skin that corns and calluses cause, they can also cause a claudication, a postponement of charge responsible for disorders of the bones and joints, suppuration related to the infection of the serous bursal located under the horn or under the rubbing zone .
