Experts warn of a tool used during foot care that can cause ulcers and may make the thick, exfoliated skin more solid. The tool is used in some nail salons that provide the service of removing the foot nails within the foot care.
Specialists have long warned of the use of a tool that resembles cheese peeled, according to the British newspaper “Daily Mail”, because it is very rough and abrasive for thin skin in the feet.
Foot screws – coarse and thick leather spots – are a common problem in the foot that can cause discomfort if left without treatment. The nails of the foot usually appear due to the pressure on the skin or its friction in some cases such as wearing high heels or uncomfortable shoes, or shoes of wrong size, or not wearing socks with shoes.
The British National Health Services Authority recommends visiting pharmacies to obtain advice on heel and slippery pillows, which provides additional cushioning to the harsh skin, and obtaining a pain reliever caused by foot screws.
Specialized treatment
It is recommended to visit the foot doctor to obtain a specialized treatment, where the hardening tissue can be cut using specialized equipment, and they may also make a sole to relieve pressure from the painful area of the foot.
Football doctors told the Daily Mail that qualified specialists will never choose the cheese -like devices. Instead, they will use nail scissors, foot, scattered, and blades that are used once to prevent infection.
Other health specialists have warned that such a tool can be harmful and can cause wounds, irritation, or even an infection because it is very abstract.
“When these devices enter very deeply in the skin, and when it is used on patients with thin skin, poor blood circulation or diabetes, it may cause terrible injuries or infections,” said Dr. Jacqueline Sotira, a foot disease specialist in the United States.
Alternatively, Sotra said creams that contain more likely ingredients such as urea and lactic acid can be used several times a week to maintain the softness of the skin and reduce the hardening tissue in a short time.
