Introduction
The plantar wart, which is formed on the feet of a person, received the name of the spike for its external resemblance to a spike. Growths occur due to the human papillomavirus that infects the body.
Infection with the virus occurs through contact with a sick person, even through a handshake. The process of obtaining it is very simple, however, getting rid of it will bring not very pleasant chores.
What to do if she appeared?
When a spike occurs on the heel, a person experiences discomfort in the form of itching, burning, and difficulty walking. In addition, the formation can increase in size and provoke the emergence of new growths, which is very dangerous. Therefore, the appeared spike must be removed.
How to remove growth?
Removal of growths occurs using the most modern methods:
- laser;
- liquid nitrogen;
- scalpel.
Laser
A progressive treatment for a heel spike is to remove it with a laser. The operation is completely painless as local anesthesia is used. One procedure helps to destroy several spines at once.
High temperatures lead to the death of viruses, while cutting off the overgrown tissue with pathology in layers. After laser removal, growths do not form again. The crust formed on the heel falls off, leaving almost no scar.
A liquid nitrogen
Removal with liquid nitrogen refers to the method of cryodestruction. The procedure consists in freezing pathological tissues to the required depth, which leads to their disintegration.
The disadvantage of using liquid nitrogen is that the depth to which nitrogen penetrates must be constantly monitored, otherwise healthy tissues can also be destroyed. The method is characterized by bloodlessness and the absence of scars.
Impact with a scalpel
The most radical way to remove a heel spike is to remove the growth with a scalpel. A scalpel is used in cases where large formations are removed.
With this operation, there is no guarantee that the pathological cells are completely removed, so recurrence of the appearance of spinules can be expected. The cells retain the virus, which contributes to new foci of formations.
How to cure, remove neoplasm?
In addition to the radical removal of the heel spike with a laser or liquid nitrogen, you can get rid of it in other ways.
AC treatment
Electrocoagulation is used to remove the spine. This method consists in burning the build-up, which uses high-frequency current. This option is good when shallow formations on the surface of the heel are removed.
Effective ways with the use of herbs
Herbs also have a therapeutic effect, so some of them are also used to combat thorns.
Kalanchoe
Before applying Kalanchoe, it is necessary to steam the growth on the sore leg in a bath of hot water and dry it thoroughly. A slightly crushed Kalanchoe pinnate flower is applied to the formation, fixed with a plaster.
Celandine
Before using the celandine, a procedure is performed with steaming the legs. The skin around the growth is lubricated with a greasy cream, the growth itself is lubricated with celandine juice. Cauterization is carried out until the spike turns black. Treatment is carried out for a week, after which the growth comes off.
Celery
Treatment of the calcaneal spike is carried out with both juice and celery pulp. Juice is taken orally three times a day, two tablespoons before meals.
A compress is made from the pulp of the plant, which is applied to the formation, previously lubricated with vegetable oil. The compress is fixed with a bandage, a sock is put on top. After an hour, the celery can be removed.
Dandelion
Dandelion is a substitute for celandine if the second plant cannot be found. The juice of the plant is also used, as in the case of celandine.
Medical therapy
It is possible to get rid of thorns with the help of special medications.
Feresol
The drug contains the active substances phenol and tricresol. It is a solution with a very pungent odor. It is used to remove warts, dry corns and spikes. The advantage is that the procedure is painless.
Ferezol is applied to the spine after steaming the heel in a hot bath. You can treat the growth with a pumice stone if it does not cause pain. This procedure will contribute to a deeper penetration of the drug into the root of the spike.
Then Ferezol is applied with a cotton swab to the formation so that healthy skin is not affected. After the liquid dries, the procedure is repeated. Removal of a calcaneal spine requires 2-3 procedures.
Lapis pencil
A lapis pencil is a mixture of two components, one of which is potassium nitrate, the second is silver nitrate. It has a bactericidal, disinfectant and cauterizing effect. With a mild effect on growths, it can lead to burns on the skin.
Cryopharm
Cryopharm is based on liquid nitrogen. With the help of this drug, the heel spine is frozen. A special applicator from the package is pressed tightly against the build-up and held for 10 seconds.
At the same time, it will burn, which is a normal skin reaction to the product. After 10 days, the root of the formation will die and dry. After that, it can fall out by itself or it can be removed with tweezers. The procedure is painless.
How to remove a neoplasm using folk remedies?
Home conditions are also suitable for removing the calcaneal spike. You can use the following recipes:
- Nettle young : the leaves are crushed until juice appears, laid out on burdock. The resulting compress is pressed against the heel and secured with a toe, left for the whole night. If necessary, the procedure is repeated the next night.
- Onion : one onion is rubbed into gruel, poured with vinegar. It is necessary to cut a hole in the patch along the spike, stick the patch on the heel. Cover the growth with the resulting mixture and secure with a new plaster. Leave all night. The spike will disappear after a few treatments.
- Dough : Vinegar is used when kneading the dough. Before applying the dough to the spike, the heel is steamed and the top layer of the build-up is cut off.
- Garlic, potatoes or horseradish : finely rubbed and applied to the spike. The procedure is repeated for several days.
