(Medical-NewsWire.com, January 19, 2015 ) Titusville, FL -- According to Right Diagnosis, the leading website in providing medical health information, approximately 1 out of 40 Americans develop corns and calluses. This prevalence rate of 2.5% is due to the fact that corns and calluses are easy to acquire. Too much pressure and friction on the feet is all it takes to develop corns and calluses.
Hydrofeet® massaging insoles distribute the pressure on the feet as a person walks. Because of the dynamic nature of this shoe inserts, patients also experience less friction on the foot when wearing any kind of footwear, especially close-toed ones.
Developing corns and calluses is the skin's defense mechanism against pressure and friction. A male puts approximately 250 pounds on each foot when he walks, while a woman puts 150 pounds. When an area of the feet receives too much pressure, the skin on that area thickens to protect the underlying tissues and bones.
Primarily, corns and calluses are caused by wearing ill-fitting shoes and not wearing socks or stockings. Nevertheless, other foot conditions such as having flat feet or overpronation of the feet, bunions, hammertoes, and bone spur could contribute to the growth of corns and calluses. These foot problems add friction on the feet.
Calluses are rarely painful, but corns are. The latter can be painful when pressed because they have a hard center. Calluses are usually found on the weight-bearing parts of the foot such as the sole, under the heels and balls of the feet. On the other hand, corns usually grow on the top and sides of the foot.
According to Mayo Clinic, to prevent corns and calluses, a person must wear comfortable footwear with socks. To remove them, patients could soak the feet in water until they get soft for easier removal or peeling. However, patients with diabetes should ask a doctor to do this for them to avoid complications in case they cut their feet. The affected area should also be kept moisturized to prevent the corns and calluses from recurring.
In addition, it would help if patients would wear massage insoles Hydrofeet® to minimize the pressure and friction on the feet. Hydrofeet® is made of liquid glycerin that is FDA-approved, and medical-grade thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). This massage insert absorbs the pressure and distributes it evenly on the feet. It also provides cushion to minimize friction.
According to one satisfied user, "I put on Rockport, Reeboks, Hushpuppies along with other good footwear. Not one of them felt great until I placed your shoe insoles inside them. I even eliminated a callus since I started using them."
Midwest Health Solutions is an authorized seller of Hydrofeet® shoe inserts that can purchased through Amazon.
