Wart nodules on the leg can appear at any age. Seemingly harmless spines cause a lot of inconvenience to their owner: problems walking, pain, swelling. But the worst thing is that they can spread throughout the body.
In addition, due to the mechanical impact, a wound is eventually formed, into which various pathogenic microflora penetrate, provoking inflammatory processes.
There are a huge number of photos of warts on the toes posted on the Internet.
Types of warts
People think they know what such a tumor looks like. In fact, there are many varieties of such neoplasms that appear on different parts of the body.
Some types:
On the distal extremities and toes, rough wart formations are called plantar warts. They often peel and flake. Black currents are hidden under the upper plates.
Ordinary growths also have a hard surface, but they do not peel off, but are able to mate, thereby increasing in size. The knees are the main location. They practically do not differ from skin color.
Formations that rise very slightly above the dermis and have a smooth, even surface are classified as flat. The toes, knee area, and top of the foot are the main places where they “settle.”
Sometimes they can “crawl” onto the inner surface of the lower leg. These brown or pinkish bumps are most uncomfortable around the sole area. When compacted, they can compress nerve endings, causing pain.
If a wart appears on your toe or foot, you should think about treatment before it begins to interfere with walking. Although, if the growths are small and do not bother you, then they are completely harmless.
Treatment options
Warts are unpleasant and uncomfortable growths on various parts of the body. They can cause discomfort when walking, pain in the toes and feet, as well as on the surface of the entire leg. Such warts can make many people disgusted and wary when dealing with people carrying such viruses.
It is possible and even necessary to treat warts. Because they tend to grow throughout the body and several small ones grow together into one large one and cause even more inconvenience.
Warts can be removed surgically using various surgical devices.
You can also use traditional medicine. Since ancient times, grandmothers have said that warts appear through human contact with a frog. But this is a real fiction. This is how different methods of treatment arose, using herbs and improvised means.
There are several types of medications that can be used to get rid of warts safely.
Medicines
The composition of medications that help get rid of warts includes acids and alkalis. Such drugs may be:
- Solcoderm. A medicine based on lactic, oxalic, acetic and nitric acids.
- Salicylic acid. A good product for cauterizing growths.
- Verrucacid. A medicine that contains powerful keratolytics – metacresol and phenol.
- CryoPharma. A medicinal product that contains a refrigerant. Its action is somewhat similar to the cryodestruction procedure.
- Super clean. It contains potassium and sodium hydroxides.
All of the above medications have an active effect on pathological cells, but they can also actively affect healthy areas of the skin.
Therefore, at the beginning of the treatment of warts, it is necessary to follow all the rules and cover healthy areas of the skin with an adhesive plaster or use a rich cream. In order to avoid new occurrences after treatment, it is necessary to hit the source of the virus.
To do this, it is recommended to take a course of immunomodulatory and/or antiviral medications.
Such drugs may be:
- Isoprinosine;
- Kipferon;
- Genferon.
Surgical methods
There are many surgical interventions to remove warts from the body. The most popular procedures are:
- Laser therapy. The laser device is directed to the affected area of the skin. The warts themselves gradually evaporate, and healthy skin remains untouched. The affected area recovers in about 7 days.
- Photodynamic removal using a laser beam. This procedure is carried out on the basis of a photochemical reaction to the pathological cells of the wart, after which they all die. This procedure is also used if malignant growths are suspected.
- Cryodestruction. With this method, liquid nitrogen is directed to the wart, resulting in freezing. After this, a bubble appears on the wart, which is treated with potassium permanganate. It will take about 2-4 procedures to completely get rid of the growth.
- Cryotherapy method: electrocoagulation. With this method, the wart is cut off with a current loop. As a result, a scab appears at the site of the growth, which dies on its own in about 7-10 days.
- Surgintron method. This is a method of removing warts using radiofrequency waves. This is a non-contact effect on the affected area of the skin. The skin is restored in less than a week.
- Removal by radio wave. If the wart has reached a large size, then only this method can remove it. Since the roots of such growths are deep, it is very difficult to remove them in the usual way. The only disadvantage of this procedure is that it leaves a scar.
Folk remedies for warts
The folk method always helps, but it will take a little more time than using other methods. It also happens that traditional medicine turns out to be of better quality than drugs and operations.
The most popular traditional medicines are the following:
- Celandine juice. Apply about 2-3 times a day, rubbing the affected areas of the skin.
- Celandine juice and garlic. Apply this paste to the wart, apply cellophane on top and secure with adhesive tape.
- Celandine juice and onion. The same as with garlic.
- Apple or regular vinegar. Drop onto the wart.
- Rowan. Make a paste and apply to warts.
- Dry cement and chalk. Rub the affected area and bandage it.
Experts recommend not to use any traditional methods until they consult with doctors. Because self-medication can cause even more harm.
Causes
These formations appear unexpectedly and there are many reasons for this, including small wounds, microcracks and abrasions on the dermis. Infectious warts can even appear on the genitals. That is why this type of spines must be treated promptly.
Moreover, viral and chicken warts on the fingers are not just an inconvenience, but can also weaken the immune system, and over time degenerate into an autonomous pathological progressive process, i.e. cancer.
So, when the papillomavirus begins to activate in the body, and there is a person or object already infected with a wart infection nearby, then a small scratch on the leg is enough. But tight shoes and excessive sweating of the extremities also provoke the formation of such growths.
Gout
This disease occurs quite often, especially in older people. Experts note that the problem appeared a long time ago, several hundred years ago. All this time, generations suffered and could not get rid of the disease. To put it simply, the problem is based on a metabolic disorder in the human body. A large amount of salts are deposited in the joints, causing rapid deformation and pain. If nothing is done, growths will form in the future.
As for the symptoms, everything is quite simple. The first thing a person experiences is severe pain, high body temperature, swelling and swelling of the limb. It is impossible to do the things you love; you need to urgently consult a doctor for help.
The following conditions can provoke the disease:
All this negatively affects the general condition of the patient and accelerates the growth and development of growths.
Treatment of the disease
It was previously said that gout occurs as a result of metabolic disorders in the human body. During the course of treatment, it is necessary to normalize the amount of uric acid salt in the joints and prevent complications. Not only physical therapy and massage are suitable for this, but also a specialized diet. You need to give up fatty, salty, sour foods, alcohol, coffee and lard. Due to this, the recovery process is accelerated, without the need to spend a lot of time and money. It is advisable to use compresses based on medicinal herbs. This approach allows you to get rid of the inflammatory process, swelling and swelling.
Conclusion. And in conclusion, I would like to say that getting rid of growths on your fingers is not very difficult, the main thing is to contact a specialist and not let the problem get worse. Otherwise, you will have to spend a lot of time and money on treatment and recovery. It is easier to prevent the occurrence of complications and overcome the disease at an early stage.
View
“Standard” warty growths are convex and round in shape. If they are located on the fingers of the lower extremities, then after some time they begin to peel off.
When steamed, blood vessels become noticeable, turning into blood clots (small dark-colored dots).
Prevention
As mentioned above, the causes of warts on the toes are varied. But in order not to become infected with this unpleasant and sometimes even dangerous “sore”, it would be better to prevent it. To do this, you need to: maintain good immunity, eat right, drink vitamins, not get too cold, take care of foot hygiene, use comfortable shoes.
Diagnostics
Diagnosis of warts is based on a personal examination by a doctor. It is carried out by a dermatologist, since he can easily distinguish the type of tumor by external signs. Before starting therapy, a person must be sure that it is warts on his skin, and not any other neoplasms.
A dermatologist uses various magnifying instruments to accurately examine the growth. If the development of an oncological process is suspected, a referral to an oncologist is issued, and a biopsy is also prescribed.
