corn and plantar wart are more likely to be confused. First, let’s talk about the reason for plantar wart formation. It is caused by human papillomavirus . The reason for corn formation is because the feet are subjected to frequent friction, excessive compression, and strong pressure by the skin.
So how to quickly determine it? We can easily distinguish from four aspects.
First: First, let’s look at its number. We generally do not exceed three normal corns, but for plantar warts, it may grow many on the feet.
Second: Let’s look at its concurrent position. The concurrent position of the corn is usually found in this heel, instep, or the inside and outside of the thumb, which is easily squeezed. So what about plantar warts? It may occur in any position on the foot.
Third: We just look at this small black dot, because if it is a plantar wart, there is a small black dot under its skin, but if it is a corn, it is yellow under it.
Fourth: When we see the symptoms, plantar warts are not feeling any. Some people will have some slight pain, but the corns will definitely hurt very much.
So how do we remove plantar warts, corns and foot calluses?
corn: You can use salicylic acid patch, which is commonly known as corn ointment, to protect the normal tissue around it, then apply the cream to the position of the corn, remove it after 24 hours, gently remove the white tissue around it, and press the corn position vertically. If it doesn’t hurt, it will be cleaned. If it still hurts, it needs to be pasted again. After it is removed, you can cover it with erythromycin .
Various plantar warts, flat warts , vulgaris , filamentous warts : You can use imiquimod cream (sometimes force), and apply it twice a day to the surface of the warts, which is convenient and effective. Or go to the dermatology department to use cryogenic or laser to remove warts and follow the doctor's guidance.
Callus : It’s very simple. Use urea cream , cover it before going to bed, and apply the surrounding normal tissues until it is applied. Tear off the next day, and then try to scrape it off some again. Just two to three times in a row.
The above three problems are slightly related to your shoes being worn too tightly and the friction is too intense. Try to relax your feet in daily life. Be careful to wash your socks separately. Shoes can be disinfected with alcohol to prevent repeated adjustments.
