Calluses
A blister or calluses is a small pocket filled with fluid, which forms on some part of the body. Blisters can occur after a skin burn, bacterial or fungal infection, insect bite or trauma. Depending on where it is located, the blister can interfere with normal, daily activities. Blisters often form on the feet, soles and heels due to wearing uncomfortable shoes.
Calluses on the legs and arms sprout due to moisture and friction, so care should be taken to always keep the hands and feet dry, as this will prevent their formation.
Treatment consists of avoiding repeated friction and pressure at the place where the callus develops, using adequate footwear and protective equipment, as well as orthopedic insoles. If these measures are not enough, callus can be gradually removed by thinning the deposits, and by using chemicals with salicylic acid, and if an infection occurs, local antibiotics can be applied.
