The appearance of a callus on the foot is not a pleasant phenomenon; moreover, it has an extremely unaesthetic appearance. It often occurs when wearing uncomfortable, tight or hard shoes. There are types of calluses, after the formation of which a person feels severe pain when walking. Their appearance is not associated with incorrectly selected shoes. They are provoked by the papilloma virus, which, according to statistics, “lives” in the bodies of 60% of the world’s population. This disease has an interesting name - chicken callus or chicken jowl. It mainly appears on the heel or foot, causing serious discomfort.
The color of chicken jolka is usually gray-yellow. At the beginning of its formation, it has a smooth surface, but after some time it becomes rough. In the center of the wart there is a characteristic papilla. The growth of a vertical leg begins from it, although in general there are many similar growths, which gives the chicken gall a resemblance to cauliflower. It is worth noting that this neoplasm often looks like a dry callus, since its appearance in the area of the sole is subject to excessive keratinization.
The top layer of chicken callus contains large quantities of dead dermal cells. These warts have no legs. The neoplasm, having a fairly wide base, rises above the surface of the skin by about 1-3 mm and has its roots deep into the dermis. After steaming the chicken jolka and carefully cleaning the top layer, you can notice the presence of clogged capillaries in the form of small black dots on the surface.
Many dermatologists compare a chicken callus to an iceberg, because their visible upper part is only a small piece of a fairly large formation. Since its roots are located very deep in the dermis, removing such a wart is a rather complicated procedure.
As already mentioned, chicken callus occurs as a result of exposure to the human papillomavirus - HPV. Both an adult and a child can become infected with it through everyday contact. The risk of infection increases during stay in warm and humid rooms, which are the most favorable environment for this virus. For example, in a bathhouse, sauna or swimming pool.
The virus enters the human body through microtraumas and skin cracks. The risk of becoming infected increases significantly when using other people's hygiene products, wearing or trying on someone else's shoes, or walking without shoes in any public place. If a person has a strong immune system, the body is able to defeat the virus, and the disease will not manifest itself. Therefore, the factors that provoke the occurrence of chicken gall include:
It should be noted that the virus can remain silent for a long period of time. All of the above factors can trigger the appearance of a tumor on the surface of the skin anywhere.
Although warts cannot reproduce, their appearance increases the risk of contracting another infection. In addition, benign neoplasms are dangerous because there is a possibility of their degeneration into malignant ones. Cancer is a serious threat to human health and life. Nowadays, there are many different ways in which you can get rid of warts, including chicken jowl. It is rightly believed that eliminating them soon after their appearance is simpler, more effective and safer.
It is quite difficult to determine visually what type of formation has appeared on the foot. As a rule, to determine the origin of the growth, the doctor prescribes dermoscopy. To do this, scraping the top layer of dead epithelium is done. It is believed that in the absence of a skin pattern at the site of the neoplasm and in the presence of clearly visible capillaries clogged with blood clots, we are talking about a plantar wart. An HPV test can confirm or refute this assumption. Since the chicken jolka penetrates the sole deeply enough, an ultrasound is performed to determine the stage of the disease.
How to treat chicken jowl callus is decided by the attending physician. At the very beginning of its appearance, therapy comes down to the use of medications. At later stages, they resort to mechanical removal of the growth. Today, there are several methods used to remove chicken gills or other skin tumors:
All of the above methods have some contraindications. That is why the choice of method is made by the doctor after diagnosis.
Treatment of chicken zholka in children and adults with the help of special ointments and plasters is effective in cases where the tumor has appeared recently and does not cause severe discomfort. The most effective are ointments containing salicylic acid. They destroy excess keratin, a protein that makes up the horny scales, and have an anti-inflammatory effect. The ointment must be applied at least 3 times a day until the wart disappears. This usually happens within a month.
A fairly effective remedy is oxolinic ointment (3%). It stops the reproduction of HPV. You need to use it at night, having steamed your feet well beforehand. To combat tumors, Stefalin ointment is used. She, like salicylic ointment, fights the external manifestations of the disease, but, unfortunately, is powerless against the virus.
Anti-wart patches have a similar effect - they are used to remove chicken callus, but HPV remains invulnerable. The patch is glued to the tumor and secured on top with a regular adhesive plaster. It needs to be changed 2 times a day, since there is little active ingredient in it. Treatment is carried out over 2 weeks.
There are many methods for treating chicken callus on the leg with folk remedies. However, when choosing any of them, you must consult your doctor. Very often a simple method is used when a few drops of table vinegar are applied to the formation with a pipette. Since this procedure is painful, it should be performed only in the evening.
Another method, which is quite effective, is to rub the chicken callus with raw potato gruel. After this, the leg should be bandaged, leaving the compress on overnight. A method is often used in which it is necessary to soak the onion in water, and then, cutting off a piece to fit the size of the tumor, apply it to the sore spot and cover it with a band-aid. In the morning the compress can be removed. The procedure should be carried out 3-4 times, after which an aloe leaf should be applied to the callus, which disinfects the wound and stimulates healing.
The article talks about what a core (internal) callus is and why this pathology appears on the toes and feet. From the information below you will learn how to get rid of these subcutaneous tumors and what you need to prevent their reappearance.
An internal (core) callus forms in the space between the toes (usually near the little toe), on the balls of the feet and in the center of the heel. Outwardly, it looks like an ordinary corn, but if you look closely, there is a deeply ingrown rod in the middle of this yellowish formation. Therefore, it is often compared to a mushroom, the cap of which is located above the skin.
If, after steaming your legs, you try to slightly move this cap away, then you will be able to see the “leg” in the miniature funnel. The funnel itself is usually inflamed and fluid may leak from it. When pressed, such a wound makes itself felt by pain, and sometimes it can bleed.
Calluses are located in the epidermis and are the result of thickening of certain areas of the skin of the legs. The condition in which keratinization (thickening) of the skin occurs is called hyperkeratosis (insufficient exfoliation of the stratum corneum).
The following common factors can cause keratinization:
Everything everyone needs to know about HPV. This article is devoted to this topic.
Sometimes the keratinization process is complicated so that a cone-like cartilage (pedicle, callus core) is formed under a thick layer of unexfoliated skin. It grows into the deep layers of the skin with its tip. It is this cartilage that causes pain when pressing on the callus. It gradually grows in the epidermis, presses on nerve endings, squeezes blood vessels, which impairs skin nutrition.
Note! To deal with callus, you need to remove it from the root. Simply cutting off steamed dead skin will not give a positive result.
Reasons that increase the likelihood of rod formation:
Note! The subcutaneous rod, the appearance of which was provoked, for example, by sports shoes, can be removed by applying hardware treatment once and replacing the sneakers with more comfortable ones. But if such a problem was caused, for example, by cerebral palsy, then you will have to get rid of it regularly. After all, the cause that causes the pathology does not disappear.
You can get rid of tumors ingrown into the skin of your legs using hardware treatment, today it is:
All of the methods mentioned are painless, but for any of them you will have to pay a considerable amount. The approximate cost of each procedure is given below.
A similar service is provided by specialists from cosmetology centers, in particular, this can be a pedicurist. The procedure involves the use of keratolytic preparations (they soften keratinized skin), a pedicure apparatus and cutters selected to size for drilling the rod.
The process goes like this:
Typically, the recess after drilling the rod is tightened within 2 days. The main thing is to avoid relapse by eliminating factors that provoke the reappearance of the pathology. This applies to both the selection of comfortable shoes and the use of correctors and orthoses that can relieve stress on the joints and protect the problem area of the foot from friction and compression.
The approximate cost of drilling out a callus can range from 500 to 2,500 rubles (the price of anesthetic and dressing is included).
Calluses are a very common occurrence on the feet. Dry calluses may also appear due to improper foot care.
This method involves cauterizing calluses with liquid nitrogen and is recommended only for shallowly ingrown calluses. This factor is explained by the inability to control the depth of freezing of skin tissue, which can lead to damage to healthy areas. The freezing procedure takes place using special cryogenic equipment or applicators (a wooden tube, one edge is equipped with a reservoir of liquid nitrogen). The diameter of the nozzles is selected taking into account the size of the problem area of the skin of the legs.
Scheme of cryotherapy:
The treated skin becomes hard and dense, dying, it becomes white. After which it is rejected by the body after 2-3 days.
Attention! Cryotherapy is not recommended if several core calluses have practically merged together. After the procedure, a large area of skin will be rejected. The resulting wound will heal for a long time and painfully.
The approximate cost of the procedure is 300 - 500 rubles; the cost of anesthetic and antiseptic may affect the increase in price.
Laser removal of core (internal) callus occurs due to high-frequency waves. Unlike cryotherapy and drilling, this procedure is non-contact and can be performed with two types of laser:
In addition, laser devices are divided into:
Regardless of the type of installation, the principle of laser action on a callus does not change. After heating the top layer of thickened skin, the structure of its cells changes, after which they evaporate. Layer-by-layer removal is performed within 2 minutes.
During laser treatment, pathogens present on the skin are also destroyed, which eliminates the possibility of wound infection. The absence of blood is due to the fact that the laser beam cauterizes the blood vessels at the moment of tissue evaporation. After the operation, the patient can return to their normal lifestyle within a few minutes.
The approximate cost of the laser callus removal procedure ranges from 1,500 to 4,000 rubles.
Below is a video in which a dermatologist talks about the methods described above for removing ingrown calluses, and also touches on the topic of choosing the right shoes.

Celandine is often used to remove warts, but it can also be used to treat calluses. But, of course, he won’t get rid of them completely. Complex treatment is needed.
Why do patches designed to rid the skin of calluses not always cope with core calluses?
When purchasing a patch, you need to clarify what type of calluses it treats. For example, to get rid of a growth that has grown into the skin, you need to purchase patches containing salicylic acid (Salipod, Urgo), which softens the affected area to such an extent that the ingrown growth begins to come out over time. Conventional bactericidal patches perform a disinfecting and protective function; as a rule, they are used for corns, wet and dry calluses.
How to treat callus in a child?
If the problem lies in wearing uncomfortable shoes, then you can try treating the child’s feet with a salicylic patch. But if the cause of the resulting pathology is a virus or fungus, then it will not be possible to get rid of it with the help of patches alone. You need to see a doctor so that he can prescribe the necessary antimicrobial agent.
What pharmaceutical ointments help remove ingrown tumors?
Ingrown (core) calluses on the feet are relieved by such preparations as Nemozol cream, Antimozolin ointment, Stop-Callos cosmetic product, and Karavaev’s Vitaon balm.
The formation of calluses on the feet is a very common problem. Of course, the resulting tumors do not pose a great danger to the human body, but their occurrence entails a feeling of discomfort and pain. For this reason, they need immediate treatment. Their formation, as a rule, is provoked by prolonged mechanical action of friction or pressure on a certain area of the skin.
Calluses on the skin of the feet are a common occurrence among people who wear uncomfortable or tight shoes. Perhaps anyone who encounters such a situation for the first time is wondering how to treat calluses on the feet?
Damage that is a callus can take several forms:
A dry callus on the foot is a significant thickening of the upper layer of the epidermis. A distinctive feature of such a neoplasm is that it has a peculiar root. Over time, it begins to grow into tissue cells.
Interesting! If you make a longitudinal section in the hardened, damaged skin, you will see that it has some resemblance to a funnel. With its base it extends to the surface layer of the skin, and with its narrow part it buries quite deeply into the tissue.
Thanks to the sharp end, it can cause pain and discomfort to the victim while moving. People who suffer most from this are overweight people, as well as women who wear high-heeled shoes.
It happens that the damaged area of skin does not cause pain or discomfort. In this situation, she does not need emergency treatment. Because the entire lower part of the foot is covered with a thin layer of durable skin. This allows a person to walk calmly on stone and sandy roads.
However, if the resulting callus causes pain, becomes rough and causes discomfort while walking, it is necessary to treat it.
Important: it is not recommended to remove calluses yourself, since if the procedure is carried out incorrectly, there is a risk that pathogenic microorganisms will penetrate into it. Therefore, it is advisable to entrust such manipulations to a specialist.
This unpleasant skin disorder most often appears on the heels. In some cases, it may appear on the palms (for example, when working with a tool for a long time). It is a bubble containing a liquid substance (lymph) that is somewhat similar to water. This callus brings great discomfort and pain.
Treatment for this type is quite simple, but only if the skin is preserved without damage. In most cases, a wet callus can be found on the toes. To protect against damage, it is recommended to treat the skin around it. Suitable for this purpose: soap, alcohol-containing substances.
Bloody calluses on the feet are very unpleasant phenomena that can occur in anyone. The causes of these occurrences are associated with a continuous and prolonged process of pressure and friction, primarily due to wearing the wrong shoes. In case of mechanical damage, pathogenic microorganisms may enter the skin. This can lead to some pretty dire consequences. A distinctive feature of this type is the long healing process. They cause severe pain when moved or touched and require immediate treatment.
Calluses can appear for several reasons:
You can treat calluses at home using the following remedies.
One onion is divided into several parts and infused in table vinegar for 24 hours. Then a small leaf is taken and applied to the affected area. Such manipulations should be repeated twice throughout the day. The procedures are performed until complete healing.
The onion is peeled and placed in a jar with table vinegar for two weeks. After the specified time, its leaves are used as a lotion for blisters. This procedure is performed for several days until a positive result appears.
Feet are rinsed in a soda solution and wiped dry. Then half a fresh fig is applied to the affected area. Tied with a sterile bandage and left overnight. Use this remedy until the problem disappears.
Take a copper coin and smear it with candle lard. Leave alone for several days until the lard takes on a greenish tint. After this, you can lubricate the blisters with it.
It is important to know: many people are interested in whether it is possible to pierce blisters. Experts advise against doing this, as there is a risk of infection entering the wound.
How to treat calluses on children's feet
There are several reliable methods for treating painful formations on the legs in children.
The jar is filled with onion peels and filled with enough table vinegar (so that it covers it). The top is covered with gauze and infused for two weeks. The husks are then removed and dried.
Before starting treatment, the skin around the formation must be treated with Vaseline ointment or another fatty substance. After this, the peel is placed and secured to the callus with a gauze bandage until the morning. The next day, the leg is steamed and the softened growth is carefully scraped off.
Problematic tumors can be removed by using baths with soda powder.
Finally, apply a nourishing softening cream to problem areas.
The use of propolis is also practiced. The procedure requires preliminary soaking of the feet in a warm bath. Next, propolis is applied (a small piece) and secured with a bandage or gauze. The bandage must be kept on the problem area for at least five days. It is advisable to repeat the procedure several times, usually three applications are enough. At the end, the bandage can be removed and the softened formation can be removed.
There are many ways to remove this type of formation. Below are some of them:
To prevent hard skin from appearing, you need to take care of your feet by wearing comfortable shoes and practicing good hygiene. If calluses still appear, you should not delay their treatment. The sooner you start taking action, the easier it will be to get rid of them.
