Tip on the leg: the specifics of the disease and folk methods of treatment

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

Outwardly, the toe on the leg is almost no different from the plantar wart. The seal can be slightly convex, which gives patients additional inconvenience in the form of pain, discomfort, and trouble choosing shoes.

However, it is impossible to get rid of a thorn like a wart. Conventional cosmetic procedures in the form of sawing the 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.

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

What is a spike on the leg: symptoms, causes and signs

The spike has a viral nature. This name was given to education due to the sensations a person experiences when walking. Usually, people experience stabbing sensations, similar to a prick of thorns.

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 keratinized seeds or seeds.The size of the spine usually reaches 1-1. 5 cm.

At the base of the spine there are not the usual accumulations of horny cells, but filiform growths. These growths are able to penetrate very deep into the tissues. Therefore, they affect the nerve fibers and cause pain in a person.

The spine can appear as a single formation or a large cluster of warts. With the appearance of numerous spines, one can distinguish one, the largest "mother" spine. All other "daughter" warts are much smaller and are found around. Numerous 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 foot - this ishuman papilloma virus.

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

The scheme of infection with a virus is quite simple. It is enough for a person to scratch their skin. Subsequently, the virus enters the human body and penetrates the genes of the skin cells. Then the cells deform and begin to resemble a tumor, turning into a wart.

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

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

The risks of transmitting the virus increase when the wearer's feet are injured. Scratches, blisters, cuts and abrasions are dangerous for people who are not infected with the virus. There are several factors that cause the papilloma virus in the body:

1. sweating of the soles;
2. uncomfortable and tight shoes;
3. non-breathable rubber shoes;
4. fatigue.

Symptoms and signs of the disease

Peak 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 a spinal cord 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 spine can also hurt due to its tearing. Since there is a roll of tissue around the wart, its weakening very often leads to intense, sharp pain and even bleeding. It is not safe to damage a wart. If this still happens, it is necessary to treat the wound with peroxide and seal it with a breathable adhesive plaster. Until the time of complete healing of the wound, it is worth taking care of cleaning shoes and socks.

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

Differences between thorns and seeds

Distinguishing a thorn from a grain is very easy. You can do this after taking a hot bath or shower. Steamed skin at the location of the formation becomes "hairy". In the central part of the wart there are one or more blackheads. It is from these black dots that the filamentous process enters the skin. Unlike a corn, a wart is constantly growing.

A corn is more uniform than a wart. The tip is heterogeneous, reminiscent of a cauliflower. There is a recess in the center, and the entire surface structure is covered with small indentations.

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 trigger the process of spinal tissue malignancy. Therefore, patients should consult a doctor in a timely manner to combat the wart and its effective removal.

So the differences are:

• Corn has a uniform structure;
• Corn does not cause pain;
• It can be easily removed with a file and softening procedures;
• The skin of the callus is very thick and convex, on the wart it is bumpy, with depressions and villi.

How to remove a toe on the leg? Therapeutic methods

There are several options for how to remove the spike. First of all, you should consult a doctor and get medical help. Doctors offer several instrumental methods of 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 the same time. Usually, an electrocoagulation session takes only 1-1. 5 minutes. The elapsed time depends on the size of the warts and their total number. Local anesthesia is used to remove plantar warts.

Before the procedure, the doctor treats the skin with antiseptics. Next, the ring of the electrocoagulator is adjusted around the spine, thanks to which the device thermally processes the tissues and leads to the death of the wart. The temperature at which the tissues are cauterized is 800 ° C. This temperature cauterizes the 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.

Removal of plantar warts with the laser

Before starting the procedure, patients should 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 to the procedure. Before starting the procedure, the doctor injects an injection of anesthetic under the wart. After the patient feels that the painkiller has started working, the doctor puts on the glasses and proceeds to the session.

While working with a laser, the doctor removes the pathological tissues in layers and at the same time cauterizes those vessels that feed the spine. Laser treatment is carried out until the root system of the wart is completely destroyed. After removing the spine with a laser, the patient is left with a small burn. This burn requires constant treatment with antiseptics. The wound itself must be covered with dry gauze and a plaster. The duration of the removal session depends on the number of thorns and their size.

cryotherapy

This procedure involves removing the peak with liquid nitrogen. When removing the spines in this way, antispasmodics are almost never used, the procedure is painless. In some cases (with large thorns, thin skin), pain relievers are still used. The procedure is performed in two different ways: with a catheter or a cotton swab. The latter option is used much more often.

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

In nearly 100% of cases, a medium-sized 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 liquid can build up inside the bladder. You shouldn't be afraid of this, as this process indicates that some skin layers have been affected during cryotherapy. The top of the bubble is usually the spine itself.

Spike on the leg: surgical treatment

In the event that no method of removing the spine helped to get rid of the disease, patients are advised to consult a doctor and surgically eliminate the formation. There are many advantages of the method:

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

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

1. The scars remain after the session.
2. The healing time is longer.
3. Deep incisions can hurt even a few days after surgery.

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