Calluses

Calluses on the legs are caused by thick, hard layers of dead skin that surround a nucleus and have nerves underneath. They are formed from pressure and blistering caused by improper footwear, flat foot gait, foot deformities, or structural problems in the foot.

It is not correct to cut the nails in a "V" shape that will cure or prevent the nail from growing inward. It is not correct to cut the toenail straight, not to create arcs and not to cut too close. Fix the corners of the toenails with a file after trimming.

Mysterious rice clumps

These are "foreign objects" that often appear on the soles of the feet. These warts are flat and light in color. They are caused by a virus and are difficult to spread. If it's a small, painless wart, just ignore it, as they will go away on their own in a year or two at most.

If it's a painful wart, use a wart medication. These medications often contain salicylic acid, so read the instructions carefully to avoid burns.

Fungal infections
