Foot Care
The skin on the soles of our feet contains more fat cells in its deepest layer (subcutaneous) than in most other parts of the body. This is because our feet need extra “padding” and shock absorption. Despite the “extra padding”, excessive rubbing can damage the skin’s barrier function and lead to dry skin and eventually calluses and calluses.
Calluses and corns are thickened areas of skin that usually appear on the soles and heels and are roughly round in shape. They press into the deeper layers of the skin and can be painful. 70% of foot problems, including the development of corns and calluses, are caused by ill-fitting shoes.
A moisturizer and avoiding tight shoes will help, as will regular washing with mild but effective cleansers, and last but not least, applying medical foot care products that treat skin problems in this area. Feet should be checked regularly. Cracking, itching and wetness between the toes or scaling on the sole of the foot can be an early sign of a fungal infection. If these symptoms occur, consult a dermatologist.
