The difference between corns and warts

  The clinical situation often encounters patients confuse corns with plantar warts, mistaking plantar warts for corns, using the wrong corns cream on, aggravating the disease, allowing the warts to grow rapidly, increasing the difficulty of treatment. The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a few of the most popular and most popular items.  1, corns: corns are mostly seen in the palm of the foot and toe side, is due to long-term local pressure, friction or piercing foreign objects, etc., so that the skin keratin layer hyperplasia and invasion of the dermis and formed. The corns resemble a small cone with the tip growing inward, compressing the peripheral nerves of the dermis and causing pain and discomfort when walking.  Treatment: First, remove the pressure and friction on the skin, such as not wearing high heels and hard-soled shoes, shoes with soft insoles, corns can be expected to subside on their own, if not removed, corns are difficult to cure. When corns occur, you can use chicken eye cream, but do not overuse it, because the main component of chicken eye cream is salicylic acid, which has a corrosive effect. The skin will burn after excessive use, and in serious cases the skin will ulcerate and become painful, affecting walking. If corns occur, we need to wear soft-soled shoes, ladies do not wear high heels, can relieve the symptoms.  2, plantar warts: plantar warts (zhí yóu) is the occurrence of common warts on the bottom of the foot. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things. In addition to the daily stress on the foot and the friction of the shoes, plantar warts are very easily transmitted by self-inoculation; and because of the thick keratin layer on the friction surface, it is difficult to treat them at once.  The skin lesions are rounded papillary keratinous hyperplasia surrounded by a thickened keratin ring, often with scattered small black dots on the surface.  Treatment: Methods include freezing, laser and topical medication. Freezing needs to be done several times in a row, once every 1-2 weeks, and it is painful and very long. Lasers tend to leave parts and are slow to heal, they are physical treatments and are prone to recurrence. They are not preferred (because the virus of plantar warts is parasitic in the 4th layer of the skin, the laser and freezing only treat the surface symptoms, but not the root cause; the important thing is that it is self-inoculated and self-infectious, once the laser freezes other skin, it is easy to have a homozygous reaction, that is, an increase in outbreaks. (Laser and freezing are not only painful, but can also lead to the formation of scars). It is recommended to choose a combination of Chinese and Western medicine: taking ribavirin tablets, thymidine capsules, soaking the affected area with Chinese herbs such as mucuna pruriens, aromatic herbs, etc. The treatment is slow, thorough, painless, non-irritating and not easily repeated.
