CALLUSES and DIABETICS

One of the most common skin conditions in patients with Type 2 Diabetes is generalized dry skin, caused by a lack of tissue moisture.  At times, the foot may become very dry and the skin may peel and crack, presenting a “doorway” for bacteria to enter the area and leave the Diabetic at risk of infection.  In addition, the constant lack of moisture, especially in the foot, causes the skin to lose its elasticity and become more susceptible to the formation of Calluses.

Complicating the issue for the Diabetes patient is a loss of protective sensation, especially in the body’s extremities.  For this reason, removal of calluses is essential in order to prevent a source of infection which could lead to amputation.

ARMSTRONG SKIN-AID for CALLUSES provides two-fold assistance for Diabetics:

• It provides a moisture-binding protective seal for dry skin.
• It softens Calluses and helps the skin to naturally heal and to reduce the Callus.
  

Because the formula for ARMSTRONG SKIN-AID for CALLUSES is 100% natural and allergen-free, it is safe for the extra-sensitive skin of persons with Diabetes.  Use it with confidence!
