Unpleasant sensations in the area of the foot, the appearance of keratinized formations, stratification, even pain when walking, already let you know that infection with the papillomavirus occurs in the human body. Plantar warts appear on the feet, which are also called thorns (derived from "spike"). The development of the papillomavirus leads to & nbsp; weakening of the body, and warts begin to grow all over the leg. There is pain while walking, which brings discomfort when wearing shoes, when running or playing sports, even just a walk can be very tiring and bring a painful condition. Everyone asks a question: how to remove warts on the legs quickly and painlessly? Medicine offers many ways to get rid of.
First signs and distinguishing properties of warts
The first signs of warts are a round-shaped growth on the foot, which grows over time, becomes covered with several layers of dead tissue, begins to ache and itch.
When a person is infected with HPV, the body may not immediately respond, only after a few months a wart may appear, similar to a corn or corn. Over time, a black dot can be seen through the keratinized area and the skin pattern is erased. The black dot appears due to the process of thrombosis of the capillaries. Warts can appear on the balls of the fingers, between the toes, on the heels, in the middle of the foot.
Causes of plantar warts or spinules
The main reason is human infection with papilloma. This virus, under the influence of the low resistance of the body and the presence of certain conditions for development, begins to appear in the form of warts.
There are a number of factors that contribute to the appearance of warts:
- trauma to the skin;
- open wounds and cracks;
- reduced pH;
- too dry skin,
- hyperhidrosis (feet sweat a lot);
- decreased immunity;
- friction when wearing tight shoes.
The papilloma virus is transmitted through contact with an infected person or through personal hygiene products or objects: slippers, towels, floors. Since warts can often be confused with calluses and corns, this increases the likelihood of timely detection of a malignant tumor that may be hiding under the wart.
How to treat warts: methods and techniques
There are a lot of ways to treat warts on the legs, but the most important thing is to find out the type of wart, whether it is a wart, and also decide how to remove warts on the legs. Let's focus on three main ways:
- physiotherapeutic methods;
- pharmaceutical preparations at home;
- traditional medicine.
How to remove warts on the legs with the help of physiotherapy methods? The answer is simple: laser removal, cryotherapy or electric current removal, surgical intervention.
Laser removal (laser coagulation) is the burning of a wart and nearby tissues to prevent further development of the disease. During laser surgery, local anesthesia is performed. Cryotherapy uses liquid nitrogen to freeze the wart. The freezing procedure takes place in several stages. The cold affects the wart deadly, and it gradually dies off. Also, the spine can be removed with the help of current (electrocoagulation), which is no less effective than cryotherapy or laser.
Often, for the treatment of warts on the feet, simple pharmaceutical preparations are used, which are aimed at partial freezing or burning with acid, ointments or alkalis.
Folk methods can also be effective. You can rub the affected area with onion or garlic several times a day, or use celandine, only fresh. It is also recommended to make foot baths with salt or tea tree.
In fact, folk remedies or pharmaceutical preparations alone cannot remove warts on the legs, since the virus remains in the body. There are many ways to remove warts on the legs, but for a complete cure, you should consult a doctor to undergo a course of treatment: antiviral drugs and to maintain immunity, complexes of vitamins and minerals. Also, do not neglect rest and healthy eating.
If you lead a sports lifestyle and often be in public places where you can get infected, it is important to remember about prevention: keep your feet warm and dry, always wear shoes in the pool or sauna and monitor your health, drink vitamin complexes on time.
