Unpleasant formations in the form of warts caused by the papilloma virus can occur on human skin. Sometimes the growths disappear on their own after some time, but in most cases they increase in size and require medical treatment. Even small tumors should not be ignored. One of the effective remedies for warts is Salipod.
Salipod patch for root callus: contraindications and side effects
The adhesive plaster for dry calluses cannot be used by everyone. There are a number of contraindications that you need to know about before using Salipod, namely:
- If a mole, pimple or abscess (open wound) is located close to a wart or callus
- If the corns have formed in a child who has not yet turned 10 years old
- During pregnancy and lactation it is also better to refrain from using this type of patch
- If a person is allergic to any of the components of the drug included in Salipod
If you use the patch incorrectly, according to the following side effects can make themselves felt due to Salipod for core calluses
- There may be a burning sensation on the skin near the problem area
- The callus itself begins to itch very much, and the skin around it turns red and inflamed (that is, dermatitis develops)
People who are simultaneously taking antidiabetic or antitumor drugs are strictly prohibited from using Salipod.
Side effects
When applied topically, Salipod rarely causes side effects on the body. Possible manifestations include allergic reactions, redness, burning and itching at the site of gluing. The symptoms pass quickly and do not cause inconvenience to the patient. If red spots develop, this may indicate signs of contact dermatitis. To avoid making it worse, it is recommended to stop using the patch. You should do the same if you feel a sharp burning sensation and pain, the skin swells and becomes inflamed.
Treatment of callus
The callus is the most dangerous and difficult to remove. It is she who causes a lot of inconvenience to a person. And, above all, the fact that it grows into soft tissue. The solipod patch helps to effectively get rid of such calluses that appear between the toes or on other parts of the foot. After just 2 days, the first improvement in the condition of the skin will be noticeable, and it is quite possible that the callus can be removed. But if it has not softened, you need to do several more similar procedures. Only after this can it be easily removed from the leg.
Action of the patch
The use of the patch has a varied effect on the skin. But ultimately, Salipod combats calluses and warts. Thus, it is a fairly effective dermatotropic agent. The instructions for use indicate that it has a strong keratolytic and disinfecting effect. And it is due to the presence of the above components in its composition. The main ones are sulfur and salicylic acid.
Salicylic acid has a pronounced antimicrobial effect. If used externally, it leads to peeling of the skin. In this case, the death of microbes occurs, causing inflammation of the epidermis. In addition, salicylic acid improves the penetration of sulfur into the skin, which has a pronounced antibacterial effect.
Salicylic acid is also a good distracting and local irritant. It softens the skin well and removes keratinized parts of the epithelium (dead cells). Acid maintains an environment in the skin that is destructive to pathogenic microorganisms. This contributes to the death of fungal microflora.
Sulfur, in addition to its pronounced antibacterial effect, also has a drying effect. This way it prevents the skin from getting wet and fights calluses well. Rosin and rubber are auxiliary components. They significantly enhance the effect of salicylic acid and sulfur, soften the skin, and soothe it. All this contributes to the appearance of renewed and healthy skin in place of the callus.
Such components are powerless against viral skin lesions. Naturally, such a patch can be used as an aid. However, a band-aid alone is not enough. And to get rid of warts and other similar formations, you need to take special antiviral drugs. It is strictly forbidden to practice self-medication. Only a doctor can select a good antiviral drug. Sometimes, to improve the condition of the skin, it is necessary to take immunomodulatory drugs.
The benefits of adhesive plasters for dropsy
This defect of the integument represents layers of the epidermis that are raised and have lost connection with the adjacent skin, which create a kind of covering where the fluid is located. After opening it comes out, and the surface begins to show erosion. The development of “dropsy” is the basis of the skin’s protection against the appearance of bleeding wounds.
The adhesive plaster must protect the formed bubble from injury and create a barrier that prevents infection of the intravesical fluid.
Compide for wet calluses
The Compeed adhesive plaster, specially created for this purpose, can best help against dropsy. It, like its analogue for hyperkeratoses, is made using hydrocolloid technology, the main purpose of which is to moisturize the bubble and help self-detachment. In addition, the patch has a moisture-absorbing surface that absorbs tissue fluid when the epidermal vesicle opens. The edges of the Compida are made of a material that will not peel off after absorbing liquid. At the same time, the product prevents pathogenic organisms from entering the wound.
“Compeed for wet calluses” is also used to preserve the covering of the epidermal bladder: in this case, it only needs to be glued to the washed skin. The composition can also be used to treat injured calluses. In this case, the resulting erosion must be cleaned with a soapy mixture, dried with cotton wool, and then a patch must be applied. There is no need to remove it - when the time comes, it will disappear on its own. If the wound has not healed completely, then another course of treatment is required.
This remedy is healing: taking into account research, erosion heals 30% faster, in contrast to treatment with other local drugs.
Liquid patch
This is a gel-like composition, which, after application to the skin, creates a small film that protects against the entry of pathogenic organisms and dust. The product is made either in the form of sprays or in the form of bottles complete with a brush. The composition consists of vinylpyrrolidone, collodion, acrylates, rosin, where natural extracts are added.
Despite the “frightening” names of the components, the compositions can also be used for children. They do not stain clothes during friction and do not wash off for 2-3 days. You can remove this product by applying a small amount of the same composition on top of the film, after which it peels off perfectly.
The most popular compositions: “Liquid bandage”, “Callus liquid”, “New skin”, “Akutol”, “Kalina adhesive plaster”. They should not be used during bleeding injuries, as well as in areas after animal bites.
Anti-callus adhesive plaster is an effective way to treat all types of calluses on any area of the skin. The most important thing is to choose the right one wisely and apply it according to the instructions. Better yet, prevent this condition: take vitamins A, E, use gloves when working and wear comfortable shoes.
