You can protect yourself from corns, heal abrasions on the skin at home and without unnecessary expenses.
Here are some tips to help heal corns and help prevent them from forming.
1. Lemon. Be sure to wash your feet before the procedure. Cut off the top of the fruit along with the pulp and apply to the sore spot. Tie a piece for several hours.
2. Cabbage leaf scalded with boiling water will help soften corns. Also tie it to the sore spot for a few hours.
3. To relieve pain, dilute potassium permanganate in warm water so that it becomes pale pink. Add a pinch of salt and soak your feet in this solution for 10-15 minutes.
4. Massage your feet with vegetable oil. This will help prevent calluses.
5. A decoction of oak bark is also a good prevention of calluses and corns. Two tablespoons account for one and a half liters of warm water.
6. A decoction of John's wort will also help heal damaged skin.
7. If the skin has been scraped to the point of blood, treat the wound with boric acid or furatsilin.
8. Crush a streptocide tablet and sprinkle it on the affected area to disinfect the wound. If there are no other means at hand.
9. Plaster. If you bought new shoes and suspect that they will give you corns the first time, don't wait, act! Stick the cheapest patch on the problem areas. It will prevent chafing and allow shoes to spread.
10. Wear loose shoes that allow the skin to breathe. There is no need to save money and buy shoes made of hard, dubious materials. Unlike leather, eco-leather, textiles, "plastic" shoes never wear out.
