Description of Urgo Treatment Horns and Partridge-Eye 5 Dressings Gel

Urgo Treatment Cors et Oeils-de-Perdrix 5 Bandages Gel is a hydrocolloid dressing with glycerin used in the local treatment of corns and partridge eyes, localized calluses on the toes and materializing by an over-thickened skin linked to repeated rubbing and painful pressures. It relieves pain upon application by removing areas of pressure. Then it softens and gently eliminates the horn by emollient effect thanks to the hydrating action of glycerin, associated with the action of the hydrocolloid mass.

What are the causes of the appearance of horns and calluses?

The main cause of corns and calluses is due to repeated rubbing of the skin on the shoe, but deformities of the foot can also cause corns to appear. Indeed, an unbalanced foot or an angular forefoot causes friction that promotes the horn .

The friction and / or the excessive pressure on the bones of the foot produce a thickening of the horn of the feet by stimulating the production of the major protein of the epidermis which is keratin .

In addition to the pain and thickening of the skin that the corns and calluses cause, they can also cause lameness, a load transfer responsible then for bone and joint disorders, a suppuration linked to the infection of the localized serous bursa under the horn or under the friction zone .
