I have a bump on the side of my foot, which hurts a bit. What should I do to get rid of it?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You have a common callus. They are wet and dry. In your case, this is a dry cornified callus or corns. Calluses can be prevented by wearing comfortable, well-fitting shoes and by using clean and usable socks. Corns most often develop on damp skin, so appropriate socks (for example, sports socks) should be used to absorb moisture, and footwear should be ventilated during the warmer months. In the case of a long hiking trip (walking), the shoes must be of the correct size, and in places where the shoes begin to rub the skin (burning sensation on the skin), an adhesive plaster can be used to reduce the effect of the shoes on foot. Special agents (example Talcum powder) can be used to reduce friction. In your case, I recommend that you buy a keratolytic. This is a substance that causes active exfoliation of dead cells from the skin surface. It is used for hyperkeratosis and a number of other pathological conditions in dermatology. The most common keratolytic (treatment used to remove warts or calluses) are Hydroxy acids and Salicylic acid and creams based on them. It can be Duoplant (Salicylic acid gel), Compound B, and Duofilm topical (Salicylic acid). Follow the instructions that are written there. On average, it takes seven days to smear. Also, watch for the appearance of allergic reactions if that immediately stop using them. Thank you.
