MINISTRY OF HEALTH OF THE RF: “Throw away the glucometer and test strips. No more Metformin, Diabeton, Siofor, Glucophage and Januvia! Treat him with this. »
The pursuit of fashion, neglect of one's health, and various diseases lead to the formation of calluses on the feet under the toes sooner or later. The feet are exposed to heavy loads every day because they bear the weight of a person. Neoplasms mainly appear due to narrow or trampled shoes, deformation of the fingers, flat feet, and improper load distribution. The skin between the fingers is very delicate and thin; due to constant pressure and friction, it thickens due to the keratinization of epidermal cells.
Calluses in themselves do not pose a direct threat to human health. But they open the door to dangerous infections. A wet callus between the toes is a wound in which pus may appear and a crack may form. You need to get rid of growths in any case, even if they do not cause much discomfort.
Soft neoplasms are perhaps the most harmless. They appear in just a few hours. They can be caused by tight shoes with pointed toes, friction of the shoe material on the bare foot, or walking barefoot on hard surfaces. Experts do not recommend piercing or cutting off water calluses between the toes (see photo) with nail scissors. You just need to wait until they open and dry on their own. Afterwards they are easy to remove mechanically, you just need to steam your feet and then rub them with pumice.
In some cases, while walking, chafing has time not only to form, but also to open. To prevent the callus between the fingers from becoming a place for dirt to accumulate, it is necessary to disinfect it and seal it with a silicone or bactericidal patch. If healthy people with a soft bubble can cope on their own at home, then patients suffering from diabetes or having blood coagulation disorders are recommended to consult a dermatologist or at least a cosmetologist.
Dry interdigital calluses on the feet can cause a lot of trouble. Few people pay attention to the yellowish, rough skin, but only until the growth begins to make itself felt with a “shooting” or pressing pain when walking. Usually only watery blisters appear between the toes, but if you constantly wear unsuitable shoes, dry seals with a cone-shaped top are formed that extend deep into the body.
Most often, calluses under the toes are located closer to the outer edge of the foot, on the balls of the feet. If measures are not taken to remove them in time, the growths grow, impair blood circulation, deform joints, and change gait. Due to incorrect foot positioning, posture is disrupted and problems with the spine may begin.
Dry interdigital callus requires treatment that is not entirely similar to the treatment of a water blister. You need to steam your feet thoroughly, and then try to get rid of dead skin. You can scrape it a little with a pumice stone, but under no circumstances should you cut off the growth with a blade or nail scissors. A salicylic acid-based patch effectively removes dry growths on the feet. It needs to be stuck to the skin after steaming and not removed for 2 days. Some of the dry “plaque” will come off with the patch. This procedure must be systematically repeated until the tumor completely disappears.
Pharmacies once again want to make money from diabetics. There is a smart modern European drug, but they keep quiet about it. This.
If the callus between the fingers is old, then it is useless to fight it with steaming and bandages. It is necessary to contact a specialist who, using modern devices and tools, will quickly and painlessly remove dry skin and roots that have grown into the body. For these purposes, laser and cryotherapy are used.
An internal callus on your toe looks like a round lump with a tiny hole in the center. Under the layer of keratinized skin there are several thick white threads (roots) or a single rod. It is impossible to cope with such a tumor on your own at home, because its roots penetrate deep into the skin. The callus between the toes is removed in several stages. First, the specialist carefully removes it with a special pedicure tool, then burns it with a laser or freezes it with liquid nitrogen. It all depends on which method is chosen: laser or cryotherapy. Only a doctor should remove an ingrown callus under the big toe, because he has sterile instruments and modern equipment for this.
The specialist removes the top keratinized skin and then pulls out the root. After some time, young skin will appear at the site of the growth. To speed up the healing process, you can use special creams and balms. In some cases, traditional methods also help: lotions, baths, compresses. But it is not recommended to get carried away with them. If improvement does not occur within several days, you should consult a doctor or cosmetologist.
It is easier to prevent a disease than to treat it, and this also applies to unwanted blisters and growths on the feet. In addition, if the causes of the formation of calluses between the toes are not eliminated, they will appear again and again.
Feet endure enormous loads every day, so they need care. It is necessary to monitor their condition, to prevent excessive sweating or the development of fungal diseases. It is recommended to visit a pedicurist regularly, and then your feet will always remain healthy and beautiful.
I have suffered from diabetes for 31 years. I'm healthy now. But these capsules are not available to ordinary people, pharmacies do not want to sell them, it is not profitable for them.
I have type 2 diabetes - non-insulin dependent. A friend advised me to lower my blood sugar levels with DiabeNot. I ordered it online. Started the appointment. I follow a relaxed diet and started walking 2-3 kilometers every morning. Over the past two weeks, I have noticed a gradual decrease in sugar on the glucometer in the morning before breakfast from 9.3 to 7.1, and yesterday even to 6.1! I continue the preventive course. I'll write about my successes.
Margarita Pavlovna, I’m also on Diabenot now. DM 2. I really don’t have time for a diet and walks, but I don’t abuse sweets and carbohydrates, I think XE, but due to age, sugar is still elevated. The results are not as good as yours, but sugar hasn’t gone beyond 7.0 for a week now. What glucometer do you use to measure your sugar? Does it show you using plasma or whole blood? I would like to compare the results of taking the drug.
There is an ancient method of restoring delicate skin on the legs - nightly applications with urea. Take cotton socks, wet them with your own urine, put them on and tie plastic bags on top. In the morning, wash everything off with pumice! 3-4 procedures and your legs are like new!
