Calluses see also: Corns Skin Psychosomatic and Holistic Meaning and Interpretation

Calluses, also known as callosities, typically develop on the feet (soles or toes) and hands. These hardened areas of skin usually form in regions subjected to continuous pressure or friction. It signifies a significant thickening of the epidermal layer.

Individuals with foot calluses often harbor apprehensions about their future, suppressing their natural impulses and desires related to it. When calluses develop on the hands, the underlying meaning remains the same, except that the apprehension relates to the present moment.

Having calluses on the foot or hand serves as a message to stop believing that you can't pursue your true desires. It prompts you to discover the fear that inhibits your natural instincts. Are you afraid of disappointing someone you care about? Are you hesitant because of your high self-expectations? Your foot or hand is urging you to fully utilize your capabilities and stop holding them back.







CALOR (

As I move forward with my feet, I may sense something bothersome, like calluses - those small bumps indicating apprehension in my current life. It's the fear of confidently embracing the unknown and doing things naturally. I find it challenging to move forward; there's a hesitance. To address this, I should seek the underlying cause. What makes me feel this way? Is it sadness, fear of failure, or an overwhelming sense of responsibilities? Naturally, I can reduce the thickness of my calluses, but that's insufficient if I don't address the root cause. It's essential to confront what's hindering my progress, aligning myself more harmoniously with life. This newfound harmony will bolster my confidence in the future.

Impetigo is an infectious skin disease commonly seen in childhood and adolescence, characterized by yellowish, non-adherent crusts resembling honey. It often afflicts those with weakened organic defenses. Impetigo primarily affects individuals who avoid emotional touch and interaction with others. They tend to protect themselves, fearing excessive influence, which leads to emotional rigidity. This skin condition underscores the importance of not shielding oneself from others and acknowledging the need for connection. Allowing influence and emotional touch from others is healthier than maintaining emotional barriers. Sensitivity should not be perceived as weakness, and the ability to defend oneself remains intact.

Warts on the sole of the foot typically manifest as small, transparent particles underfoot, surrounded by calluses causing pain under pressure. They indicate fears related to my future and responsibilities, often accompanied by a sense of anger toward my approach to life. It's likely that I easily give in to minor obstacles that come my way. I might also undervalue my physical abilities or sports skills, even if I'm exceptionally talented. I could feel that "my feet don't perform as well as others," constantly comparing myself and feeling inferior in terms of physical capability. My body reminds me that excessive self-punishment is unnecessary, and I can move forward in life with confidence. I must embrace both my strengths and weaknesses, persevering to achieve my best.

The skin, the body's external envelope, consists of the dermis and epidermis, protecting the body and in constant contact with the outside world. Skin problems are diverse and discussed throughout this book.
In general, the skin relates to how we present ourselves to the world. As our body's envelope, it reflects our self-image. Soft skin suggests seeing oneself as gentle, while dry skin may signify a harsh self-judgment. Any skin problem reflects self-consciousness, paying too much attention to others' opinions and judgments. This can prevent being true to oneself and make one susceptible to rejection, leading to a sense of integrity being compromised.
Pus accompanying a skin problem can indicate an inability to tolerate someone or something to the point that the issue is self-inflicted to escape.
Serious skin problems can be a means of pushing others away. While the skin facilitates contact, it can also isolate. Shame or a desire for radical change can lead to self-isolation.
If a skin problem causes itching, refer to that specific term.
When only the superficial skin layer is affected (e.g., VITILIGO), it reflects a separation, loss of contact, or communication breakdown. It symbolizes rejection or permanent rupture, often stemming from a desire to save others, particularly of the opposite sex.
The body part affected signifies the area of heightened intensity (e.g., facial skin represents a fear of losing prestige). Interpret the meaning based on the affected area.
The skin's visibility underscores the importance of addressing issues that bother you. To reshape your self-image, create a list of your qualities and add one each day. Seek assistance if needed.
The message here is to grant yourself the right to be human, with weaknesses, limitations, and fears, without considering yourself worthless. Your worth comes from your inner qualities and not solely from external appearances.
