Corns and calluses
The calluses that plague runners can be very annoying, the most harmless are those that are generated on the surface of the skin and blisters, are a reaction to friction or continuous incorrect placement of the foot, while the more serious are the streets bone that often form around the base of the toe, usually the big toe, the finger because it is larger and undergoes more stress, research has shown a correlation between the formation of calluses and a little arch support, the so-called flat foot. Who has a very accentuated arch is brought inside to run with pronation, a movement that facilitates the formation of hallux valgus. The process is exacerbated by a lack of elasticity of tendons that fail to compensate for the increased demand for power due Arch pot. If the leg muscles are also poorly developed and trained, they can not transmit enough force to the foot and this is transformed to a greater suffering of the first metatarsal. The callus, in addition to being painful in contact with the ground, can also change the support of the foot because his presence forces the big toe and the other fingers accordingly to an unnatural position, it is characterized by a localized thickening layer on the surface skin, which then sinks into the skin because of the pressures that the foot itself receives from our bodies. When walking, or running of pain occur, more or less intense. To reduce friction during the race wear thicker socks, reinforced in critical areas. The very thick and painful calluses should be treated through surgery by a doctor who is not at all painful. The relief is immediate. If the callus is caused by the type of shoe, of course, need to use footwear more comfortable. If relapsed, to protect the sensitive part of the bearings can be used to measure shaped by the podiatrist or pharmacist can find a standard measurement or find callifughi also destroying the excess horny material. It 'good to be careful not to apply them on the healthy parts of the skin to avoid burns. Diabetics should not use the callifughi based on acetylsalicylic acid or sodium, the risk of ulceration.
For prevention, it would be good to use toe shoes, comfortable reserve adequate space, without squeezing the tip. As for the shoe, an adequate arch support and heel raise are important features to prevent or aggravate these problems. Simply stay at least comfortable house slippers with open toe.
The calluses:
When the stratum corneum of the skin hardens the soles of the feet, the base of the toes or under the heel calluses appear.
The basis of the disorder is excessive compression by the body. The pain is something akin to a sunburn and is located less than that caused by a callus, but the treatment is identical. To decrease the compression is useful to apply an insole that changes the posture of the foot. 90 percent of corns fact is due to an imbalance of the foot.
