There is a small meat ball on the toe

Feet are an important part of our body. As the feet are completely hidden in the shoes, many people do not pay much attention to foot care. We should soak our feet in hot water every night to relax our feet that have been tired all day and relieve fatigue. If you do not pay attention to foot care for a long time, your feet will suffer from some diseases. Sometimes you will suddenly find a small lump on your toes. What's going on?

1. Causes:

If a pimple grows on the toe, the first thing to do is to observe whether there is pain or itching in the pimple, and whether it is getting bigger and larger. If not, it may be the solidification of the foot muscles, which we often call calluses. This situation usually occurs in athletes and workers on construction sites. If you have painful bumps on your toes, and after a period of time, you find that the bumps increase in number at irregular intervals, it is very likely that they are viral warts caused by HPV infection. There is no age limit for viral warts. Anyone, whether old or young, or pregnant, may be infected with viral warts.

2. Treatment:

The treatment of pimples on the toes also needs to be based on the cause. As mentioned above, if calluses grow on the toes, there is no need to take any medical treatment. You just need to strengthen the protection of the fleshy area to avoid external pressure, and soak your feet in hot water frequently before going to bed at night, and the situation will naturally improve. But if it is a viral wart, you need to take medication for treatment, such as topical acyclovir cream, which is a drug specifically for the treatment of viral warts. Also, if there are too many viral warts and they have affected the normal movement function of the feet, then laser treatment may be needed.

3. Daily care of feet

1. Soak your feet in hot water at night

Soaking your feet in hot water is the simplest and best way to maintain your health. It can relieve heat in summer and drive away cold in winter. It is worth noting that the hotter the water, the better. Generally, the water temperature for foot bathing is about 40 degrees, and running for 15-30 minutes is enough. Especially for patients with diabetes and varicose veins of the lower limbs, special attention should be paid to water temperature and time.

2. Exfoliate regularly

Regular exfoliation can remove excess dead skin, making the skin more absorbent and your feet whiter and tenderer. After soaking your feet, use a pumice stone or exfoliating gel to rub your feet. It should be noted that exfoliation should not be too frequent. Determine the appropriate cycle according to your own skin. For sensitive skin, once every half a month to a month is fine. If you exfoliate too frequently, it will damage the skin and make it sensitive, which is counterproductive.

3. Massage your feet

After soaking your feet, massage your feet and apply some massage cream or lotion. Vaseline is a good choice. It is affordable and easy to use and is sold in supermarkets. Carefully massage along the soles, insteps, and toes of your feet. It can promote blood circulation, regulate endocrine, enhance metabolism, etc., to achieve the purpose of beautifying the feet
