Hardening of the Skin on the Feet

An indispensable activity in winter is to wear woolen socks and watch movies under a blanket, right? However, we begin to notice the effects of some situations that we neglect while enjoying this pleasure, when spring comes. We need to show our feet the same attention we show to other parts of our body. Our feet are subjected to countless loads throughout the day while walking, sitting or standing. For this reason, skin hardening can be seen on our feet.

Hardening of the Skin on the Feet

These skin thickenings on the soles of the feet are called hyperkeratosis. The main cause of hyperkeratosis is the uneven distribution of load on the soles of the feet. As the load on the foot increases, signs of thickening begin in places where there is no load. This thickening causes the deformation of the foot in the following periods and the thickening of the areas that are not exposed to the load due to the pressure. On the other hand, as a result of the 2nd and 3rd forefoot bones being exposed to excessive loads, thickening is observed in these areas. Hyperkeratosis can also be seen as a result of false footsteps (such as flat feet, introversion, high arches), and dehydration of the feet.

Treatment of Skin Hardening

As a result of hardening of the skin, the dead skin thickening in the heel area as a result of pressure and friction, it quickly becomes prickly and dry, and becomes yellowish. Calluses are not considered harmful, but they need to be treated or regular care such as filing hard skin on the feet or moisturizing with special creams. Otherwise, painful cracked skin, infection or bleeding may occur. In this direction, the important thing will be to create a foot care routine for yourself. We recommend you to make Camilla 60 Callus Cream and Callus Softening Spray an indispensable part of your routine, available through AyakSa.com. The effect will increase when used together. When the disproportionate pressure or friction applied to the feet is removed, the hardening of the skin on the feet will go away by itself. In addition, we recommend that you use moisturizing foot care creams regularly to avoid this hardening.
