Heel warts bring particular discomfort : in addition to what they look, from an aesthetic point of view, they are ugly, they also greatly interfere with walking. However, this problem is completely solvable, the main thing is not to start it.

How are growths formed on the heel of the foot?

The second name of the wart on the heel is Spitz. Its appearance is caused by the human papillomavirus, and reduced immunity is the provoking factor. The virus is transmitted by household and sexual contact, also to the child from the mother. Outwardly, it resembles a grayish or yellow corn.

What is the danger of growths on the heel?

Heel warts tend to grow deep into the soft tissues over time and even reach the heel bones. This process is unpleasant in itself, accompanied by discomfort when walking and increasing pain.

In addition, when moving, the area with the wart is constantly rubbed, the wart is rubbed, it bleeds. Capillaries do not have time to heal, which increases the risk of tissue and blood infection.

The blood flow increases and the virus infects an increasing number of healthy cells around, which provokes an increase in neoplasm. In the future, such an education runs the risk of developing into a malignant one.

HELP! The appearance of a wart is accompanied by the appearance of itching and burning in the area of the affected area, pain when walking, two weeks after the onset of the development of the growth, the skin becomes rough and thickens.

How to treat them at home

Below we briefly consider the most popular folk methods of treatment at home.

How to remove them with the help of celandine?

The celandine acts delicately and gently. Organic acids, carotene, flavonoids and essential oils included in its composition give it antiseptic and antitumor effects, relieve irritation and pain, and prevent the formation of scars on the body. Celandine can be used both in pure form and as a gel.

An alcohol tincture is also suitable.

A bunch of freshly picked celandine (together with the rhizome) properly, wash in running water, dry, finely chop and squeeze the juice. Put in the refrigerator for a couple of days, then mix with vodka in the proportion of 0.5 liters of vodka per liter of juice.
Close the bottle tightly and put it back in the refrigerator – in a day the medicine will be ready. Lubricate the growth 2 times a day for a week.
By mixing 1 g of crushed celandine and 2 g of petroleum jelly, you will get an ointment that is convenient and effective. Lubricate the affected area 3 times a day until the wart turns black.
A gruel of celandine and chopped garlic is applied to the wart under a gauze bandage. Be careful: the slurry should not spread beyond the growth.
Pour 200 g of dried grass with a liter of boiling water, simmer for half an hour, then remove from the stove and cover with a lid. Strain after an hour. Use the decoction for therapeutic foot baths or compresses. You can store the infusion for 3 days.

How to get rid of with potatoes?

Ordinary potatoes help to remove skin growths . There are several recipes:

Grate a medium-sized potato on a fine grater (together with the peel), put the mass on parchment or cling film, attach to the skin and fix with a bandage. Keep the compress for 5-6 hours. Repeat this procedure every day for 3-4 weeks. Solanine will not harm healthy skin, but it will have a necrotic effect on the affected.
You can not rub the root crop, but simply cut into thin slices and apply to the growth, also fixing it with a bandage.
Potato juice can be used not only outside, but also inside. Take freshly squeezed juice (100 g each) twice a day for 1-2 months.
Buy celandine at the pharmacy and fill it with alcohol (in a ratio of 1: 1), add a little potato juice to the tincture, leave to infuse overnight. Treat the growths at least 2 times a day until the warts disappear.

cottage cheese

Apply fresh curd compresses to warts before going to bed. Keep an hour and a half, then grease the skin with potato juice.

Mushroom plates

Cut the mushrooms into thin slices, pour table vinegar overnight, cover the container with a lid. Lubricate the wart with the prepared mixture for 3-4 days.

egg

Drop 3 drops of table vinegar into boiled chicken yolk, rub and lubricate the wart overnight. The course of treatment is 2-3 days. Store the ointment in the refrigerator.

Propolis

Mash a small piece of fresh propolis, make a pancake out of it and put it on the growth, fixing it with a bandage on top. Such a compress should be worn for 4 days, replacing the cake with a new one every day.

Vinegar

This tool is quite aggressive because it causes tissue necrosis and burns out both the top layer of the skin and the deeper root. The minimum dosage is 1 drop per wart. Use a pipette. Vinegar can be used both in pure form and diluted with water in a ratio of 1: 2.
The second option is to apply a compress for 15-20 minutes. Soak a cotton pad or a piece of gauze in vinegar and apply to the skin (before the procedure, it is imperative to make a softening bath for the feet). One procedure per day is enough, after 3 days take a break for a day.
Crush a couple of cloves of garlic, mix with two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar, cover for 2 hours with a lid. Then strain and lubricate the wart at night. It is advisable to cover the skin with a plaster or film from above, and bandage it. Carry out the procedure until the growth disappears.
Acetic essence acts even faster: mix a small spoonful of the substance with grated garlic cloves and wheat flour, make a cake and apply to the growth for 3 days. Top with adhesive tape and bandage. The wart will be removed along with the cake.

Important!

If the formation hurts and pulsates, but in moderation, this is considered a normal reaction. After removing the wart, there is always a small hole left, which Vishnevsky’s ointment will help to heal.

With Cabbage Juice and Hemp Oil

Cut a fork of fresh white cabbage, and attach the cut to the wart overnight. Secure the piece with a bandage or put on a tight sock.

The formation will begin to dry out and fall off after a while. The number of procedures depends on how long you have had a wart: for a recently appeared wart, 2-3 procedures are enough, for old ones, the course of treatment will take at least 3 weeks. A slight burning sensation is the norm. It is not necessary to rinse the juice.

Hemp oil can be used both together with cabbage juice, mixing them in equal proportions, or separately, lubricating the damaged area 8-10 times a day. For an additional effect, add liquid honey to the oil.

Prevention

Compliance with certain preventive measures will help reduce the risk of warts on the legs:

Use only your shoes, socks and tights. This also applies to insoles.
Choose shoes that fit, made of leather or breathable materials.
Wash your feet every day with soap, first with hot water and then with cool water.
Strengthen the immune system (hardening, taking vitamin complexes).
When visiting swimming pools, water parks and baths, carry personal rubberized slates with you or use disposable shoes.
For severe sweating of the feet, use special drying agents.
Avoid body contact with people whose skin is infected.

Conclusion

Many frivolously wave their hand at the wart that has appeared, considering it to be something like a banal callus. And this is a big mistake!

Any pathogen that makes its way into the body can become very dangerous, causing not only general discomfort, but also exacerbating the problem over time – for example, degenerating into a malignant formation. Do not delay with a visit to the doctor and treatment – it will be much more difficult to get rid of a neglected disease.
