How to get rid of water callus
Most often, calluses form in the summer, when it is time for active work in summer cottages. At the same time, shoes are changed, which is also often accompanied by the formation of painful water blisters on the legs.
How to cure water blisters
It is not difficult to get rid of blisters that appear on the palms or feet. At the same time, it is important to be careful and observe all measures to prevent infection of the wounds. It should be noted that modern medicine does not recommend opening the callus, but oddly enough, it is the opened bladder that heals faster:
- A sterilized needle must be used to open the bladder. She is carefully pierced the bubble closer to the edge at the border with healthy skin. It is necessary to insert the needle parallel to the surface of the skin so as not to accidentally damage the bottom of the callus. After opening, it is necessary to carefully squeeze out the liquid, covering the corn with a cotton swab moistened with hydrogen peroxide.
- Sometimes the resulting cavity with liquid bursts itself, simplifying the task and eliminating unnecessary torment. In this case, it is necessary to empty the burst bubble by squeezing out the remaining liquid with a cotton pad. It must be moistened in advance with some kind of disinfectant, for example, hydrogen peroxide or an alcohol solution. Then the damaged area of the skin must be treated with Levomikol ointment. After that, the corn is covered with a sterile dressing, which must be changed every three hours.
Under no circumstances should the skin be ripped off the calluses. This will make the healing process much more difficult. The open wound left after this is very painful and provides an excellent breeding ground for pathogenic microorganisms. Soon, a crust forms at this place, which heals for a very long time.
You can speed up the healing of the damaged area with the help of medicinal plants. Plantain, Kalanchoe or aloe can help in this matter. Plantain leaves are ground into gruel, and thick aloe leaves are simply cut to reveal the pulp. The agent is applied to the affected area and fixed with a plaster. The dressing must be changed to a new one every 6 hours.

It is easier to prevent the problem than to deal with it later. Water bubbles form more often on damp skin, therefore, with increased sweating feet it is necessary to take measures to eliminate this deficiency. For example, if possible, you should wear cotton or nylon socks on your feet. Natural cotton fabric will absorb excess moisture, and nylon will prevent the skin from rubbing against the rough surface of the shoe. You can use cosmetic talcum powder to remove excess moisture.
Comfortable and suitable footwear made of high-quality natural materials will help prevent the appearance of calluses. It is best to choose the right pair of shoes in the evening when legs slightly swollen, in this case, you are guaranteed to be able to avoid the fact that the couple suddenly becomes tight.
