Product Description
-------------------
Scholl Hard Skin Range
----------------------
The skin on the feet is unique, as it’s designed to withstand the
day to day pressure of walking and standing. Sometimes prolonged
pressure and friction from ill-fitting shoes or being on your
feet a lot can cause hard skin to build up. With 65% of the
population suffering from hard skin, you are not alone!
The experts at Scholl know that the best way to treat hard skin
is to soften and regularly remove it, so they have created a
range of products specially formulated for hard skin.
Thick hard skin
---------------
Thick hard skin is just that; an area of skin that is thicker
than usual and has become hard as a result. It is often yellowish
in colour and can affect many parts of the foot such as the ball
of foot, the heel and the toes.
Thick hard skin develops when there is excess force on the feet
such as pressure or friction – the body tries to protect itself
from the pressure and friction by building up extra layers of
skin.
It is not always necessary to treat thick, hard skin but many
people find that they do not like the way it looks and sometimes
it can be uncomfortable. To stop thick hard skin from coming back
you should try to work out what is causing the pressure and
friction – a podiatrist can help you with this – and remove the
cause.
What is thick hard skin?
------------------------
Thick hard skin is just what the name suggests – it is the build
up of thicker layers of skin that have become hard. These areas
of thicker skin are less flexible than normal skin; they can be
yellowish in colour and sometimes can be quite uncomfortable.
What is the difference between thick hard skin and a callus?
------------------------------------------------------------
The medical term for thick hard skin is callus, so there is no
difference between the two. However, while your doctor or
podiatrist may not think there is any difference between thick
hard skin and callus, the words might conjure up quite different
images in your mind.
When you talk about “thick, hard skin” you are more likely to be
referring to skin that covers larger areas across the ball of
foot or heel or specific areas on the toes. When you talk about
“callus” you are more likely to be referring to a defined plaque,
often found on the ball of the foot.
How to prevent thick hard skin
------------------------------
Thick hard skin will keep coming back unless the underlying cause
of the pressure or friction on the feet is found and removed or
treated. If you do not know why you have thick hard skin a
podiatrist will probably be able to help identify the reason and
recommend the best way to treat it.
Following a regular foot care regime, using products to
moisturise and care for the feet can help to keep skin soft and
supple.
How to treat thick hard skin
----------------------------
Thick hard skin does not always need to be treated. The extra
skin layers are there to protect the foot and if it is not
painful or uncomfortable then there may not be a reason to treat
it. However the appearance of thick hard skin can be unpleasant
and so some people will choose to remove the thick hard skin for
cosmetic reasons.
There are a number of ways to remove thick hard skin.
Physically removing the extra layers of thick hard skin is a
common approach. This can be done using a foot file or a
specially designed removal device. Some people will find that
soaking or wetting the skin will help to remove it, others prefer
to remove dry skin; both types of can be successful.
A podiatrist may remove thick hard skin with a scalpel but this
should not be carried out at home because of the risk of injury.
The removal of thick hard skin can also be done using specially
formulated creams and s that can help break down and
soften the thick hard skin.
