What are calluses on the forefoot?

If there are calluses on the forefoot, it will not look good when you wear shoes, and it will look rough. For female friends, these details are very important, so you need to understand some of the causes of calluses and how to remove them. Many times, wearing inappropriate shoes often causes friction and can also cause calluses.

1. No matter what causes calluses or how severe they are, removing calluses and protecting your feet are essential. Calluses are caused by friction between the feet and shoes, or between the feet and shoes, which causes abrasion of the skin. Therefore, you should wear soft, thick-soled shoes, and the shoes and feet should fit tightly together, leaving as little space as possible (it is best if the shoe and foot are like one piece, without sliding friction). Do not wear hard or thin-soled shoes, as this will prevent the formation of new calluses and facilitate callus removal.

2. There were no calluses originally, but calluses were caused by wearing certain shoes that rubbed your feet, such as high heels, slippers, low-quality labor protection shoes, etc. If you don't wear these shoes for a long time, just stop wearing these shoes and wear normal foot protection shoes instead. You don't need to take any other measures. The calluses will fall off and disappear automatically after a period of time, usually one or two months.

If wearing these inappropriate shoes for a long time causes foot bone deformity and calluses, you must go to the hospital for foot bone correction surgery and take callus removal measures after the surgery to completely eliminate the calluses.

3. If there were no calluses on the feet originally, but they developed calluses after a short period of heavy labor, a lot of walking, and other complicated activities, the calluses can usually be completely removed in two or three months as long as these complicated foot activities are stopped without taking other measures.

4. For thick calluses with sharp stratum corneum like corns, they often become pierced under pressure, so the sharp core must be removed. You can use corn ointment to corrode it away. If it is serious, go to the hospital for surgery to remove it.

5. Calluses formed by long-term wear and tear will often grow again after being removed. Many people become discouraged by this. In fact, you need to be persistent and do it a few more times, and the calluses will be removed.

6. Calluses are usually removed by soaking, washing and abrasion. Use hot water to soften the thick dead skin of the callus, then use a knife to scrape off the soft dead skin. If you can't control the strength of the knife, use a file to grind the skin. No matter which method of skin grinding you use, you cannot remove too much at one time. You must persist in removing dead skin multiple times, and you must not damage the dermis. The dermis is protected by callus skin for a long time. Once it suddenly loses protection or is injured, new calluses will quickly form.
