Recently, the Salipod patch for core calluses has gained wide popularity. A core callus is considered to be one that has a hard core inside that is not so easy to pull out. It is this rod that causes severe pain when pressing on the callus. How can you cope with the problem with the help of Salipod?

The principle of action of the patch on the core callus

To begin with, we should dwell in more detail on the principle of action of such a patch on the callus. Salipod contains many components that can actively soften the skin and protect it from repeated pressure when wearing shoes.

So, sulfur, lanolin and rubber can somewhat dry out the skin on the sore spot and at the same time soften it. This helps fight both weeping and old dry calluses. These substances do not cause any allergic reactions, which explains safe wearing patch even for several days in a row if the need arises.

The salicylic acid contained in the Salipod patch helps gently remove the upper stratum corneum of the skin, while preventing pathogenic bacteria from penetrating into the deeper layers. Thanks to this process, access to the ill-fated rod is opened, which makes it possible to remove it without hindrance.

The patch itself is made from a special durable soft medical fabric on top. This fabric significantly reduces friction. Therefore, when treating calluses with a patch, patients can continue to lead their usual active lifestyle and wear any shoes, even closed ones.

Precautionary measures

Before you start treating callus with the Salipod patch, you should familiarize yourself with some of the application features and contraindications. There are not many of them, but it is still very important to know them in order to prevent undesirable consequences:

Under no circumstances should Salipod be used to treat infants or pregnant women. The skin of these groups of people is quite delicate and sensitive, so the patch can cause even more harm.
It is strictly forbidden to stick the patch on severely affected areas of the skin. Burns and wounds must first heal, and only then you can stick Salipod on these places. You need to be especially careful with moles and warts. No neoplasms can be closed. Otherwise, everything may turn into development malignant tumor on the skin.
Although all components of Salipod have a fairly mild effect on the skin, people with hypersensitivity You should first undergo an allergy test. For some people, the patch may cause itching, flaking and redness. Salipod should also be used with caution in persons with renal failure. In this case, it is recommended to first consult a doctor.
The Salipod patch cannot be used simultaneously with medicines, which contain salicylic acid, resorcinol and zinc. Also, Salipod should not be used to remove calluses from people who are taking antidiabetic and antitumor drugs.

Removing callus with a plaster

And now regarding the actual removal of the painful core from the callus using the Salipod medical patch. If you do everything step by step and slowly, you will be able to get rid of this scourge fairly quickly. Let us consider in detail how to permanently and painlessly remove callus with Salipod.

First you need to heat the water. Pour it into a small basin and lower the foot with the callus into it. The water should be warm enough, even a little hot, but not scalding the skin. You need to hold your leg until the skin wrinkles. This sign will indicate that the upper stratum corneum has already softened enough and can be easily removed.

Now you should blot your foot with a terry towel so that the skin becomes completely dry. Take the Salipod patch and remove the protective film from it. You need to attach the patch directly to the callus so that it fits tightly enough to the sore spot. But even if he stays on his feet well, this may not be enough. Therefore, for additional fixation, it is necessary to additionally fix the medical plaster with Salipod ordinary. If the callus is located in an inconvenient place, then you can tie the leg with a sterile bandage. This will maximize the adhesion of the therapeutic patch to the core callus.

When applying the patch, it is necessary to remember that healthy skin should, if possible, remain unaffected. After all, the effect of Salipod is so strong that as a result it can even lead to the removal of the top layer healthy skin. It is best to apply the product pointwise.

It is recommended to keep the patch on the affected leg for about two days. Just during this time, the callus will have time to soften sufficiently, and the unnecessary keratinized layer of skin will be easily removed. As for the rod itself, together with top layer It will also come out easily from the skin, and in its place there will only be a small hole that will heal very soon.

In some cases, it is not possible to overcome a callus with a patch the first time. Most often, this happens with old calluses, when the painful core has already grown quite densely into the skin. Then the treatment will need to be repeated several times until the rod comes out completely.

So, how to treat core calluses using the Salipod medical patch has now become clear.

This remedy is considered one of the most affordable and effective today. The patch can be found in almost any pharmacy and can be easily used to solve this problem. And in order for the skin in the sore spot to recover as quickly as possible, it is necessary to simultaneously use an ointment against calluses and corns. The attending physician will advise which ointment to use.
