How to treat a compensatory fracture at home.

These methods are useful when the size of the fracture is small, when no pain syndrome is observed, and when the disease is not caused by:

1. Remove dead skin cells.

Wash your feet in warm water and use a pumice stone or scrub to get rid of the peeling skin. In doing so, try not to damage the skin to the stratum corneum. Do not cut dry skin and packaging with scissors. This causes them to grow. Repeat the treatment 1-2 times a week.

2. Apply compresses and masks.

Natural skin can be softened and moisturized with the help of natural means:

• Coconut oil - has an antimicrobial effect. Rub it on your skin every day before going to bed and lie down wearing cotton socks.

• Shea butter - it contains vitamins A and E, fatty acids, antioxidants. They accelerate skin regeneration and regeneration. Can be used as coconut oil.

• Honey - has antibacterial properties and can be used twice a week. Apply honey on clean skin and wash off after 15-20 minutes.

• Banana puree - has an antifungal effect and nourishes the skin. It can be rubbed for 15-20 minutes before bedtime, 2-3 times a week.

3. Moisturize the skin

After the mask or compress, apply a moisturizer (such as Vaseline) to the skin. This forms a thin film on the skin, reducing the loss of skin moisture.

4. Walk in cotton socks

This allows the feet to breathe and sweat less. In addition, cotton retains skin moisture. Do not wear synthetic socks.

5. Use professional tools against cracks and packaging.

These creams contain urea, isomerate saccharide, lactic, glycolic and salicylic acids, which soften the skin and accelerate the removal of dead epidermis. These keratolytic agents can be purchased at any pharmacy or store, but you should still seek medical advice before using them.
