Diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue (dermatology)

Painful callus

A painful callus is most often wet (moist) - with the formation of a blister in the area of excess pressure or friction of the skin, but dry calluses, primarily core calluses, can also cause pain when walking.

Internal callus

Dry core callus - due to the presence of an intradermal core formed by the accumulation of dead skin keratinocytes, it is sometimes referred to as an internal callus.

Is it possible to cut the callus off?

Many people have this question: is it possible to cut dry calluses? We mean dry (hard) calluses, which often have a dense keratin core (root) that penetrates deep into the dermis and therefore can cause pain when walking.

Water callus in children and adults

A painful blister is a small, fluid-filled blister on the skin that forms in an area of repeated pressure or friction.

Removal of calluses with liquid nitrogen

One of the hardware methods for getting rid of calluses is their destruction using a cryo-liquid such as liquefied nitrogen, which in this state of aggregation has a temperature of -195.8°C.

Hard calluses in adults and children

As is known, calluses are divided into wet (moist) and dry (hard). Thus, a hard callus is a thickening of the outer (horny) layer of the epidermis, consisting of dead keratinocytes - this is a dry callus.

Cracked skin on the heels of your feet

It would seem that cracks on the heels of the feet are banal, but how much suffering and unpleasant moments are associated with them. They do not appear out of nowhere. Such a defect cannot appear on delicate, well-groomed and elastic feet.

Methods of nevus removal in children and adults

A nevus is a benign spot or growth of congenital or acquired origin. Neoplasms can have different shapes and sizes and range from flat spots to large papilloma-like elements.

Calluses with black dots on feet and hands

Black callus is associated with wearing uncomfortable or poor quality shoes and clothing, with prolonged walking or standing work, with overly sensitive and thin skin.

Wart nevus

Among the benign pigmented formations on the skin – nevi (from the Latin naevus – birthmark) – a warty nevus protruding above the surface of the skin stands out, which, as the name suggests, resembles a wart.
