The barb is a benign neoplasm, which is localized on the feet of patients and can provoke discomfort during movement, as well as provoke various unpleasant consequences.

The drugs that are used to treat such a disease are selected depending on the characteristics of its course. This takes into account the presence or absence of concomitant complications.

What is a spike, structure, stages

This name was invented by patients for a growth, but in medicine it is called a plantar wart. The name "spine" is associated with the structure of the growth, which does not grow above the surface of the skin, but grows inward, that is, forms a kind of thorn.

Unlike calluses, the structure of the wart is somewhat different. There is no liquid in it, as in calluses, but there are dense cells that form a tubercle, somewhat protruding above the surface of the skin.

As the neoplasm grows on the surface, you can see small multiple blotches of black color. They result from damage to the small vessels that supply blood to the growth.

The neoplasm develops in several stages:

1. At the initial stage, it is small in size and almost does not cause discomfort to patients.
2. As the growth progresses, the condition enters stage 2, which is accompanied by discomfort and even pain against the background of an increase in the volume of the build-up.
3. At stage 3, the wart grows inside the foot, which leads to the appearance of acute symptoms and can provoke complications. At this stage, the patient needs medical help, which will prevent other consequences.

The reasons for the appearance of the spine and the transmission route

Spine (drugs for treatment are selected individually) is formed in patients as a result of the penetration of the human papillomavirus into the body. Experts say that more than 70% of the world's population is infected with this virus.

However, not every patient knows about this, since the virus may not appear for a long time, only under certain conditions various growths appear on the body, including plantar warts.

But there are several predisposing factors that can provoke the activation of the virus and the appearance of growths:

• Weakening of immunity against the background of insufficient nutrition and deficiency of vitamins and minerals in the body.
• Stressful conditions, psychoemotional disorders.
• Professional activity in which there is physical and emotional fatigue.
• Frequent viral and colds.
• Taking medications that have a negative effect on the patient's immune system.
• Injuries to the skin in the area of ​​the feet.
• Diabetes mellitus and tissue nutritional disorders against the background of this disease.
• Increased sweating, provoking the multiplication of pathogenic microorganisms on the skin.
• Fungal diseases of the feet and nails, causing damage to the skin.
• Frequent wearing of low-quality tight shoes, which leads to squeezing of tissues, the appearance of corns.

These and some other reasons can provoke the appearance of a build-up. The main route of transmission of the human papillomavirus is through household contact, but it can also be transmitted through sexual contact, as well as from mother to child during childbirth. As a result, the virus enters the body, provoking the formation of a build-up immediately or after a while.

Are they dangerous during pregnancy?

During pregnancy, many patients have weakened immunity, which can lead to the activation of the virus in the body and the appearance of plantar warts. In the absence of complications, such growths are not dangerous for a woman and a child.

The only danger is considered to be the risk of transmitting the virus to the child during childbirth. However, this does not always happen.

Features of the appearance in children

The barb (drugs for treatment can be combined with other systemic medicines) appears less often in children than in adults. Usually, such growths occur when the immune system is weakened or there is a lack of vitamins in food.

In most cases, the neoplasm is small, does not provoke complications and quickly disappears, even in the absence of special treatment. A feature of the course of pathology in children is considered to be an increased risk of injury to the build-up, which is associated with increased activity.

For the treatment of growths in children, various means are used, but in most cases, the use of pharmacy medicines is sufficient. Complications with the appearance of warts on the feet are rare in children.

When to see a doctor

In most cases, the growth does not provoke severe discomfort, pain or other symptoms. In this case, you can observe the condition of the skin in the area of ​​the neoplasm. Quite often, after a few months, the wart disappears on its own without any treatment.

However, inflammation of the skin at the site of the growth, severe pain, discomfort when walking is considered a reason for immediate medical attention and special treatment. The therapy is carried out by a dermatologist, who preliminarily conducts an examination and determines the most optimal method of treatment or removal.

If the neoplasm grows rapidly, severe pain appears, or multiple warts, treatment should be started immediately to reduce the risk the development of complications.

Diagnostics

The spine is not considered a dangerous disease for the patient if it is detected in a timely manner, and the drugs or methods for treatment are selected correctly. That is why, when contacting a specialist, a comprehensive examination is carried out, including several methods.

Diagnostic method	Features of the
General survey and examination of the skin	The survey is considered the first stage in the diagnosis, helps to determine the severity of symptoms and the time of their appearance. The specialist listens to complaints, identifies accompanying deviations and signs of inflammation, if present. Additionally, at the initial visit to the doctor, a visual examination of the skin at the site of the appearance of the wart is carried out. Based on the examination and survey data, other diagnostic methods are prescribed.
Clinical blood test	A standard research method that involves taking blood from a patient from a finger or vein and then testing it in a laboratory. Usually, the analysis helps to detect signs of inflammation and many other symptoms that require the attention of a specialist.
Blood chemistry	A biochemical study is performed when the patient has any systemic pathologies and it is required to assess the functioning of the kidneys, liver and pancreas. Blood is also taken from a vein, after which it is examined in the laboratory and the most important indicators are determined.
Blood test to detect human papillomavirus	The most important and effective method that allows not only to detect human papillomavirus in the blood, but also to determine the specific strain that provokes the appearance of the wart.
Dermatoscopy	A research method in which a neoplasm is studied using a special dermatoscope device. It illuminates the skin with a certain light, you can see the exact size of the growth on the screen and detect even minor signs of inflammation. The procedure does not require special preparation or pain relief. It does not take much time and is considered absolutely safe for the patient. It is carried out to diagnose growths in children and adults when necessary.
Biopsy	A biopsy is performed only when patients develop complications such as inflammation, rapid growth of neoplasms, and bleeding. The method involves taking a sample of the growth with subsequent histological examination in the laboratory. Quite often, a biopsy is indicated when doctors suspect the transition of a pathology to a malignant tumor.

After the diagnosis, the specialist prescribes treatment for the patient, depending on the results obtained. In the presence of concomitant complications, other methods can be used, which is individual in each case.

Minimally invasive removal methods

The barb (drugs for treatment do not always have a pronounced therapeutic effect) can be removed with the help of modern minimally invasive methods that help to quickly get rid of the build-up, prevent the development complications.

Removal with a laser beam is considered to be very effective. In this case, an ultra-precise beam is used, which affects only the neoplasm and leads to necrosis of the wart cells. As a result, after 5-8 days, the growth independently exfoliates from the healthy skin, and a small scar remains in its place. Gradually, the cells are restored and the scar is less noticeable.

The procedure has contraindications:

• Severe pathologies of the heart and brain.
• Mental disorders in the acute stage.
• Inflammation and infection of tissues in the area of ​​the growth.

In each case, prior consultation with a doctor is required. There are other methods to remove the wart with minimal trauma.

The method of removal with a radio knife helps to quickly and completely remove the build-up in 1 procedure. Previously, the skin in the affected area is anesthetized with Lidocaine or Ultracaine.

After that, the neoplasm is excised within healthy tissues. At the site of manipulation, a wound surface remains, which rather quickly turns into a small scar. Depending on the characteristics of the patient's body, tissue repair can take from 2 to 6 weeks. Almost always, a small scar remains in the area of ​​the wart after removal.

Cryodestruction also refers to minimally invasive methods of removing a neoplasm. In this case, the build-up is treated with liquid nitrogen at an extremely low temperature.

As a result, the cells freeze and die, the vessels coagulate, so there is no bleeding. small warts can be removed at a time, but to eliminate large growths, 2 to 4 procedures are required at intervals of 1-2 weeks, depending on the rate of tissue dying off. This method of removal may require local anesthesia.

Depending on the size of the neoplasm and the characteristics of the course of the disease, the specialist selects the most optimal diagnostic method.

How to withdraw with pharmacy products

Today in the pharmacy you can see many remedies that help get rid of the wart at home and prevent its growth and other complications.

The most effective means are the following:

• Salipod - a patch that contains salicylic alcohol and phenol. It is usually used to remove large calluses, but it is also used to remove small warts. Instructions for use involve sticking the patch to the affected area. Leave it for 24 hours. After that, you can remove the patch and stick a new one. When the ingredients in the plaster are exposed to the wart, it gradually softens and is removed without harm to healthy tissues.
• Verrukacid solution specially designed to remove warts. It contains phenol and metacresol. These components, when exposed to the growth, lead to its necrosis, which helps to remove the spine almost painlessly and fairly quickly. It is worth applying the product sharply, only on the wart. To remove small outgrowths of a sufficient 1 procedure, large thorns are treated 2-4 times with a frequency of 5-7 days. After cell death, the build-up exfoliates on its own.
• Kollomak - a solution based on salicylic acid, which is applied topically to the wart, which allows you to quickly get rid of it without special procedures. The remedy is relatively safe for patients, it helps to quickly eliminate the wart and restore the integrity of the skin. Usually a single application is sufficient, if necessary, it is allowed to carry out 3 treatments with a frequency of 3-5 days.
• Duofilm - an agent in the form of a solution, which has a cauterizing effect on the wart due to the content of lactic and salicylic acid. When processing the growth, cauterization and gradual cell death occurs. Within 5-10 days, the build-up exfoliates from healthy skin on its own. A small scar may remain in its place. When applying funds to a build-up, prevent the solution from getting on healthy areas of the skin.
• Solkoderm remedy contains acetic, oxalic, lactic and nitric acids, as well as copper nitrate. Due to the presence of several components, the solution has a cauterizing effect and helps to quickly get rid of the neoplasm. It is worth applying the solution pointwise, only to the place of the warts, excluding contact with healthy skin. In the presence of a small build-up, 1 procedure is sufficient; in case of large warts, repeated use is required.
• Wartner Cryo is considered one of the most popular remedies for wart removal. The product helps freeze the growths, which leads to skin death and detachment of the wart from healthy skin. The product has several applicators. To remove, one of them should be applied to the wart for a few seconds, and then removed. The skin at the site of exposure may become pale, but blood circulation is restored within a short period of time. Small build-ups will flake off within 2 weeks; large build-ups may require re-treatment after 14 days.

The use of any external means must be coordinated with a specialist. Self-use at home can provoke severe complications in patients, as well as lead to the transition of a benign neoplasm to a malignant one. It is important to apply solutions to clean and dry skin, and also to exclude too frequent use that is not described in the instructions.

If complications arise during the removal of warts with pharmaceutical products, you should immediately consult a doctor.

Folk remedies

The spine (drugs for treatment can adversely affect the patient's condition) can be removed with folk remedies only at the initial stage. Neglected cases, when the wart grows into the foot, does not lend itself to therapy with home remedies.

There are many home remedies that can quickly and almost painlessly remove the build-up within a few days:

• Fresh celandine juice is considered the most popular method. Its application is quite simple - it is necessary to apply fresh plant juice to the neoplasm for 2-3 days. Gradually, the cells of the wart die off and exfoliate, a small depression remains at the site of the growth. This method helps to remove small warts that do not have a long shaft.
• Feet warts can be removed using vinegar mixed with flour. When mixing, you need to take a small amount of flour to get a thick gruel. It should be applied to the build-up, leave for 2 hours. Repeat this application daily for 1 week. Usually this is enough to obtain a pronounced therapeutic result. The tool only helps to cope with small build-ups.
• Garlic juice also works well for small growths. It is necessary to chop a few cloves of garlic and process the wart for 5-7 days in a row, morning and evening. This is usually sufficient to obtain a therapeutic effect. After peeling off the wart from healthy skin, a scar may remain, which gradually decreases and almost completely disappears after 3-4 weeks.
• Dandelion juice will help to remove the wart within 3 weeks, with which the growth should be treated in the morning and in the evening. The method is considered safe and effective, it helps to avoid damage to healthy areas of the skin in the area of ​​application of the herbal remedy. With large growths, this method is used only when the wart does not have a long rod growing into the foot.
• Tea tree essential oil is considered one of the most effective treatments for small warts. The tool not only contributes to the death of the build-up, but also has antiseptic properties, therefore, it helps to prevent the addition of infection during therapy. The product gently removes growths and helps prevent the formation of a large scar. It is necessary to treat warts 2 times a day, the oil should be applied pointwise at the site of the lesion, using a cotton swab. The therapy lasts 2 weeks, it is allowed to extend it in the absence of a therapeutic effect.

Alternative medicine recipes may only be used after consulting a doctor. In some cases, they really help to deal with growths if they are small and do not grow deep into the foot. It should be borne in mind that when using such funds, complications may develop.

Possible complications and how to avoid them

The most dangerous complication in the presence of a spine on the foot is the transition of the wart into a malignant neoplasm.

Other complications include the following:

• Accession of infection and signs of inflammation.
• Severe pain in the growth area.
• Decreased mobility against the background of severe discomfort arising from movement.
• Rapid growth of the wart.
• The appearance of new growths on the feet.

It is possible to prevent the development of complications in the event of a build-up by a timely visit to a doctor. However, it is almost impossible to prevent the appearance of warts if the patient has human papillomavirus in the body. But you can eat more fresh foods, eliminate alcohol, quit smoking. This will help reduce the risk of weakening your immune system and activating the virus.

A spine, or plantar wart, is a common problem among patients of all ages. The drugs that are used to treat the disorder are selected individually, depending on the degree of neglect of the condition and the presence of concomitant deviations. It is not worth treating the pathology on your own, as the risk of complications increases.
