Spike on the feet: specifics of the disease and folk methods of treatment

The sensation of a foreign body on the skin of the leg, pain and burning can indicate the presence of a spinal cord in a person. A toenail is nothing more than a wart. Most often, a plantar wart appears on those parts of the foot that experience the greatest stress while walking. Much less often, this seal appears on the palms or fingers.

Outwardly, the nail on the leg is almost no different from the plantar wart. The seal may be slightly convex, which gives patients additional discomfort in the form of pain, discomfort, as well as problems when choosing shoes.

However, it is impossible to get rid of a thorn like a wart. Conventional cosmetic procedures in the form of cutting keratinized skin or cutting it will not have the desired effect. Getting rid of a plantar wart can be very difficult. Often, to solve this unpleasant problem, patients need to consult a doctor.

Regardless of the specificity of the disease, the spine can be removed using alternative methods of therapy. The main thing is to choose the most effective and safest treatment option for your health and consult a doctor first.

What is a thorn in the foot: symptoms, causes and signs

Spika is viral in nature. This name was given to education because of the sensations that a person experiences when walking. Usually, people experience a stinging sensation, similar to a prick of a thorn.

How is it formed?

The formation of a plantar wart begins with the appearance of a white lump on the sole of the foot, slightly protruding above the surface of the skin. Later, with development, the formation begins to resemble corns or keratinized corns.The size of the spine usually reaches 1-1, 5 cm.

At the base of the spine there are no usual accumulations of horn cells, but filiform growths. These growths are able to penetrate very deep into the tissues. Thus, they affect nerve fibers and cause pain in a person.

The spine can appear as a single formation or a large group of warts. With the appearance of multiple spines, one, the largest, "mother" spine can be distinguished. All other "daughter" warts are much smaller and located around. Multiple plantar warts cause a lot of discomfort to a person and are very difficult to treat.

Causes

There is only one reason for the appearance of warts on the legs - this ishuman papillomavirus.

Important: There is an opinion that parasites in the intestines can become the cause of thorns. In fact, this is an unfounded medical misconception.

The scheme of virus infection is quite simple. It's enough to make one scratch the skin. After that, the virus enters the human body and penetrates the genes of the skin cells. The cells then deform and begin to resemble a tumor, turning into a wart.

Most often, the infection occurs in childhood. Children are usually infected with the virus in kindergartens, schools, beaches or public showers. Only those children whose immunity is weakened get sick.

Appearing in childhood, the spine disappears during the growth period. Since the immunity of an adult is stronger, warts appear very rarely.

The risks of virus transmission increase when the user's feet are damaged. Scratches, blisters, cuts and scrapes are dangerous for people who are not infected with the virus. There are several factors that provoke the papilloma virus in the body:

1. sweating of the feet;
2. uncomfortable, tight shoes;
3. rubber, non-breathable shoes;
4. stress.

Symptoms and signs of the disease

Spike is an extremely unpleasant disease. The sensations caused by a plantar wart will significantly impair a person's quality of life. This manifestation of the papillomavirus is one of the most difficult. The main symptom of spinal cord injury is pain. It can accompany a person all the time until the wart is removed. The pain can be severe and is especially common when walking or running.

The back can also hurt due to its tearing. Since there is a roll of tissue around the wart, its damage often leads to severe, sharp pain and even bleeding. It is not safe to damage a wart. If this still happened, it is required that the wound be treated with peroxide and closed with a breathable adhesive plaster. Until the wound is completely healed, it is worth taking care of the cleanliness of shoes and socks.

Another characteristic symptom of spinal cord is discomfort while walking. This sensation is similar to pressure in the tissue. Patients describe it as feeling like a stone in a shoe. This is the first symptom of thorns. But the pain is related later, along with the development of the disease and the growth of the plantar wart.

Differences between thorns and corn

Distinguishing a thorn from a corn is very easy. You can do this after taking a hot bath or shower. The steamed skin at the location of the formation becomes "hairy". In the middle of the wart is one or more black dots. It is from these black dots that the filamentous process goes into the skin. Unlike a corn, a wart is constantly growing.

A corn is more uniform than a wart. Spike is heterogeneous, it resembles a cauliflower. There is a cut in the center and the entire surface structure is covered with small pits.

Important: A thorn, like any wart, is a benign formation on the human body. The risks of its rebirth are quite high. Tissue damage, stress and weakened immunity can promote the process of spinal cord malignancy. Therefore, patients should consult a doctor at the right time to fight the wart and its effective removal.

So the differences are:

• Corn has an even texture;
• Corn does not cause pain;
• It can be easily removed with a file and smoothing procedures;
• The skin of the callus is very thick and convex, in warts it is uneven, with depressions and villi.

How to remove a thorn in the foot? Methods of Therapy

There are several options for how to remove the sting. First of all, you should consult a doctor and seek medical help. Doctors offer several instrumental methods for removing the spine.

Electrocoagulation

This method is very simple and does not take time. Usually, patients only need one procedure, during which the doctor can remove several small warts at once. Usually, an electrocoagulation session lasts only 1-1. 5 minutes. The time spent depends on the size of the warts and how many there are in total. Local anesthesia is used to remove plantar warts.

Before the procedure, the doctor treats the skin with antiseptics. After that, the loop of the electrocoagulator is adjusted around the spine, due to which the device thermally processes the tissue and leads to the death of the wart. The temperature at which the tissues are cauterized is 800 °C. This temperature burns blood vessels, which helps protect a person from bleeding. After the session, a crust forms on the skin, which falls off when the tissues are completely healed.

Laser removal of plantar warts

Before starting the procedure, the patient must be examined. This allows you to understand how deep the wart is in the skin. In the absence of such an examination, the removal may be ineffective. Doctors determine the depth of penetration into the tissues of the spinal antennae and proceed with the procedure. Before starting the procedure, the doctor injects an anesthetic injection under the wart. After the patient feels that the sedative has started to work, the doctor puts on glasses and continues the session.

During laser work, the doctor removes pathological tissue in layers and at the same time cauterizes the vessels that feed the spine. Laser treatment is carried out until the root system of the wart is completely destroyed. After laser removal of the spine, the patient is left with a small burn. This burn requires continuous treatment with antiseptics. The wound itself should be covered with a dry gauze cloth and a bandage. The duration of the removal session depends on the number of pillars and their size.

Cryotherapy

This procedure involves removing the tip with liquid nitrogen. When you remove the pillars in this way, antispasmodics are almost never used, the procedure is painless. In some cases (with large thorns, thin skin), painkillers are still used. The procedure is performed in two different ways - with a catheter or a cotton swab. The last option is used much more often.

The doctor wipes the skin with antiseptics, dips a cotton swab in liquid nitrogen and touches the sting with it. Exposure to a wart should last about 5-30 seconds. Exposure time depends on the size of the wart. Longer exposure to nitrogen is required if the patient has a large and deep back. In this case, nitrogen must penetrate all layers of the skin, up to the root of the wart, and therefore, exposure to nitrogen can last 25-35 seconds. After the freezing process, the skin acquires a white-pink hue, which indicates the death of skin cells.

In almost 100% of cases, a medium blister appears in patients the day after the procedure. Such a reaction of the skin to low temperatures is quite normal and indicates the effectiveness of the session. A clear or reddish fluid may collect inside the bladder. You should not be afraid of this, as this process shows that certain layers of the skin have been affected during cryotherapy. The top of the bubble is usually the spine itself.

Spike in the leg: surgical treatment

In the event that no method of removing the spine did not help to remove the disease, patients are advised to consult a doctor and eliminate the surgical formation. There are many advantages of the method:

1. High probability of complete removal.
2. Effective in removing particularly deep piles.
3. Minimal chance of repetition.

Local anesthesia is also used during the procedure. During the session, the doctor removes all pathological tissue and stitches the wound. However, the procedure also has disadvantages:

1. The scars remain after the session.
2. The healing time is longer.
3. Deep cuts may still hurt for a few days after surgery.

The choice of the method by which the spine will be removed depends on the effect of the previous methods of struggle. Also, the doctor is based on the results of the diagnosis and general history.

Medicines help to remove the spikes on the soles of the feet quite well. Today in the pharmacy you can find a number of drugs that have necrotizing properties, which allows you to quickly and effectively eliminate the problem.

If you suffer from the manifestations of thorns and do not know how to remove them, then you should pay attention to the reviews of such funds:

• Cauterizing solution, which has two main active substances in its composition - meta-cresol and phenol. These ingredients have a toxic property, which allows you to irreversibly destroy the spike cells. It should be borne in mind that the drug can affect the human nervous system. Therefore, the drug should be used only in accordance with the instructions.
• A popular remedy for thorns, which has an affordable cost and good efficacy. In its composition, it has coolants that allow the substance to be used for the treatment of people of almost all age categories.

• A universal remedy with birch tar, which has anti-inflammatory and disinfecting properties. However, it must be remembered that in the treatment of thorns it is absolutely impossible to combine this medicine with other medicines.
• A special patch that is treated with salicylic acid. It softens the pimples and helps to remove them loosely. This patch cannot be used if a child, a pregnant woman has warts.
