Brilio.net - Corns or known as clavus, is a skin disease condition that is often experienced by many people. Although corns are usually harmless, the pain and discomfort they cause can interfere with daily activities. It is no wonder that many people are looking for ways to overcome this problem.
Basically, corns are formed due to repeated pressure and friction on the skin, causing a thickening of the dead skin layer. The main causes can vary, from wearing ill-fitting shoes, walking with the wrong posture, to deformities in the leg bones. In addition, certain medical conditions such as diabetes and blood circulation disorders can also increase the risk of corns . Treating corns is not always easy, because the healing process often requires time and consistent care.
Treating corns can be quite complicated and requires a variety of approaches. Initial treatment usually involves using special patches containing salicylic acid to soften the dead skin, making it easier to remove. However, in more severe cases, medical treatment may be needed, including cryotherapy (freezing) or even minor surgery to remove the affected tissue.
Well, before it gets really bad, you can treat it yourself in an easy way, you know. This method was once done by YouTube user REMPAH SEHAT. In one of the videos uploaded, he once shared a natural and effective way to treat corns on the feet using only kitchen ingredients, you know.
As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube REMPAH SEHAT on Tuesday (10/12), the kitchen ingredient in question is garlic. So, this garlic will be peeled and washed clean first. Then grate or grind until really smooth. At this stage, make sure the tools used are also sterile so that there is no skin infection later.
Now, after being mashed, the garlic can be directly applied to the soles of the feet affected by corns. Make sure the entire corn is covered with garlic perfectly. If so, let it sit for 2-3 minutes. After that, wash your feet as usual until clean.
According to YouTube user REMPAH SEHAT, this technique can be done routinely 2-3 times a day. But if you want to heal faster, you can do it more often. Or you can also close the corns after sprinkling them with garlic. After that, leave it overnight and rinse with warm water in the morning. Don't forget to dry your feet and use moisturizer to make the corns heal faster.
Garlic can help treat corns naturally thanks to its antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant properties. The allicin content in garlic is known to help soften and remove hard tissue in corns. Regular use can help reduce the size and eliminate corns within a few days.
