Rod corn

This is one of the types of corns. It looks like a corncob, like a small, round, hardened part of the skin. Inside has a deep rod (root). In other words, it is a compacted, towering patch of skin with a small spot in the middle. This speck is a hat that goes deep into the rod. The cause of the formation of calluses can be getting under the skin of a foreign body (a small pebble, a piece of glass, splinters). In addition, the cause of the appearance of corn can become a dermatotropic virus.

Is the corn call dangerous? It would seem that nothing terrible in a small speck, in the eyes does not rush, you can and suffer. Just a callus. But the core corn, causing painful sensations, makes you change your gait. We unwittingly (or intentionally) put the foot incorrectly, and this entails an additional load on the joints (mostly on the knee), as a result we get their diseases. Therefore, the core corn is unequivocally dangerous for health and requires treatment.

Rod corn. Treatment

Modern methods of treatment offer several options: laser therapy, cryotherapy, drill. All these methods are painless, effective and do not entail complications. With laser therapy, corn is burned by a beam, with cryotherapy, the area is frozen with liquid nitrogen. Drilling is performed with the help of sized friezes, the remaining groove is treated with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial drugs. This is a cosmetic procedure and it is carried out at sessions of a hardware pedicure.

However, if the cause of the problems was a dermatotropic virus, the removal of the callus mechanical must be combined with antiviral, antifungal, antimicrobial drugs. The course of treatment you will recommend beauticians.

The corn can be cured at home, but for this it is necessary to have patience, because it will not immediately be possible to deduce.

Pour hot water into the basin and add to it baking soda (a full tablespoon for five liters of water). We steal in it corn for 20 minutes. If the water cools, add boiling water. On the steamed corn impose a sticking plaster "Salipod" (available in pharmacies). In a day we repeat the procedure. We put a foot on, apply a band-aid. After the second or third time, the corn should begin to rise. Raise the part carefully and cut off and again wear the leg and paste. The next day, we cut off the corn again, again we soar and apply the patch "Salipod" ... We perform the same manipulations, until the whole root comes out. Usually it's enough for five or six days, but if the root is very deep or even began to grow, then the treatment can be delayed. To avoid keratinization, clean the skin of the legs with pumice stone (but not the corn itself).

There is another well-working method, but it can be used only if the root of the corn root does not grow. Take a square piece of adhesive plaster, make a hole in the center for the size of the callus and stick this sticking plaster so that the corn is passed through this hole. Drink the vinegar essence on it. One or two drops. The effect of the acid will be directed directly at the corn, and the skin and tissues around it will be protected with an adhesive plaster. If the root is very deep, it will be necessary several times to make a steamer foot bath. The steamed and raised corn is neatly cut and disinfected. You can fall asleep with a streptocide or another antibiotic. Baths in duration should be no less than forty minutes. The bigger, the better.

Do not forget: you can not rub the corns with pumice stone, otherwise you will only aggravate the situation. After the trays, the formation and the entire foot should be lubricated with antifungal ointments.
