Treatment of hyperkeratosis

About the procedure

Hyperkeratosis is an excessive thickening of the stratum corneum of the epidermis. Hyperkeratosis is not an independent disease. Thickening of the stratum corneum and violation of the keratinization process is observed in ichthyosis, ringworm, erythroderma and other diseases. Even in healthy people, hyperkeratosis manifests itself to one degree or another on the elbows, feet, and sometimes on the knees. Plantar hyperkeratosis is most often a cosmetic defect, although the condition of the skin of the feet often indicates the condition of the body as a whole. Since hyperkeratosis of the foot can reach several centimeters, dry skin due to body pressure is prone to the formation of painful and bleeding cracks, which leads to pain when walking.
