Undoubtedly, it is worthwhile to understand that corn callus is different, - there are several varieties of such skin blisters - therefore, each of them needs a special approach. Consider the methods of treating various types of calluses on the legs at home.
Treatment of water corns
Water (wet) calluses look like white soft bubbles, towering above the skin and filled with a clear liquid. They arise in the place of friction and in the beginning represent reddening and swelling on the skin, which is accompanied by soreness. If the water callus is not treated, the bladder will burst with time, and a dry callus will begin to grow on this place.
The first help in the occurrence of water corns - treatment with hydrogen peroxide, zelenka, solution of potassium permanganate or furatsilina to prevent the multiplication of bacteria. Next, you must impose a sterile bandage or paste a bactericidal adhesive plaster.
When a water callus appears, replace the shoes with one that does not injure the affected leg.
It is recommended to open the water callus, but it must be done very carefully, observing sterility. To do this you need:
- Take a thin needle, wipe it, and also corn and the adjacent surface of the skin with alcohol.
- Next, sterilize the needle with fire (match, lighter), make a small hole in the corn and gently squeeze the contents. Bubble skin can not be removed.
- Next, you must again disinfect, apply a bandage or plaster, which should be removed at night.
Treatment of corns
Bloody corns appear and look just like water, but in this case the corneal cavity is filled with lymph fluid mixed with blood. Such a callus is formed when a blood vessel is damaged on the rubbed area of the skin. It is more dangerous than ordinary water, as it can become a source of infection of the whole organism if a purulent process begins in it.
The blood corn should be opened in the same way as described for the case of water callus. Before this, you can make a five-minute warm bath of a weak solution of potassium permanganate or a 2% solution of boric acid, after which the callus must be carefully dried with a napkin.
