Callus Ointment and relieve of pressure combine to get rid of Corns and Calluses

Podiatrists often report that they see more patients for corns or calluses than for any other foot aliment. Pathologically, both corns and calluses are a natural response to pressure, reoccurring pressure on the feet or toes. As a sort of natural defense the body thickens the skin to protect against the aforementioned pressure. Unfortunately, once the skin becomes too thick the body begins to treat it as a foreign body, ulcers and pain follow.

Callus Ointment for Pain

One of the best and easiest ways to get rid of callus pain is to apply a high quality
callus ointment. Callus ointments most often break down or eat away the thick dead
skin that makes a corn or callus. Most callus ointments employ a mild acid to get this
job done, so one needs to be careful to only apply callus ointments on corns or calluses,
never on healthy skin. Also, people with frail skin and poor circulation should not use
callus ointments. With callus ointments expect ulcers or blisters to get “worse” before
they get better. Since callus ointments break down the skin they will temporarily cause
ulcers or blister to seemingly get worse, but soon after, the callus ointment will have
removed the callus and blister, alleviating pain.

Callus Ointment is Not a Long Term Solution

While good quality callus ointments can help remove calluses and corns, and reduce
pain, they are not a long term solution. Callus ointments only treat the symptom of
another problem, foot pressure. Consistent foot pressure is the sole cause of corns and
calluses. So to get ride of reoccurring hyperkeratosis (the medical term for calluses and
corns), one must diagnose the cause of the foot pressure and correct the problem.
