A lot of skin conditions can affect the feet and lots of wide spread skin problems that affect the entire body might be much worse in the feet because of the use of footwear and particularly the loads which athletes place on their foot.
Blisters
Blisters aren't unusual about the feet of runners. They are resulting from light chaffing from the running footwear on precise areas which leads to the skin layers getting split up. This could frequently be on the toes or perhaps the back of the heel. The majority of runners have become aware of blisters. The easiest way to manage blisters is usually to not necessarily get them to start with. Make sure the running footwear fit appropriately and make use of a lubricant upon regions of substantial rubbing. There are various friction eliminating tapes or pads that athletes may use to avoid blisters when they occur often. When a blister does happen, then make sure it is covered and cushioned to allow it to heal.
Corns and Callus
Corns and calluses are caused by to much stress on an area. This generally is because of the footwear not fitted adequately or there is some toe or foot deformity creating higher load for example a hammer toe or hallux valgus. Foot corns and calluses are simple and easy to remove. A skillful foot doctor can simply take them out with good scalpel technique. What's less than simple will be to prevent corns coming back. Corns do not have roots that they come back from that the podiatrist did not remove. It's actually a prevalent myth that corns have roots. Foot corns and calluses consistently return when the cause is not eliminated and that cause is the too much force on the area. That pressure may be relieved by, for instance, surgical treatment to correct a hammer toe or bunions. Foot insoles will help alleviate strain on plantar surface of the foot should there be calluses there.
