How to treat mild corns

What are the main treatments for corns?

Fire Needle

Clean the local area, disinfect the acupuncture point with alcohol, use a fine fire needle or a No. 26 5-dim needle, heat it red on an alcohol lamp, aim at the hard nail-like part in the center of the corn, and pierce it straight into the base of the root. At this time, the resistance under the needle increases and the patient has an obvious pain reaction. Remove the needle immediately when there is a sense of emptiness under the needle or a small amount of white secretion emerges. Generally, one corn is pierced with one needle, and sometimes it can be pierced twice in a row. The needle should not be inserted too hard or too fast, otherwise it will not be able to char the corn's keratin and capillaries, which will easily cause bleeding and pain. No local medication or bandage is required after the operation. Soak the area in warm water and cut off the hard skin after 7 days. If there is still tenderness after two weeks, a second treatment can be performed.

Ginger moxibustion

First, ask the patient to soak his feet in wet water, and use a blade to slightly remove the keratinized layer on the surface of the corn. Cut the fresh ginger into slices about 2 mm thick and 1.5 to 2 cm in diameter. Use a knife to pierce several small holes in the center of the ginger slice, and then place it on the corn. Make the moxa into a peanut-sized cone-shaped moxa cone and place it in the center of the ginger slices. Light it from the top. When it burns to a temperature that you can't bear, replace it with a new cone and continue moxibustion for 3 to 5 times. Once a day, 7 times as a course of treatment.

Currently, corns and calluses are mostly treated by combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine. Clinical practice has proved that the effect is good. The specific method is: mix more than 10 javanica fruits and 2.5 grams of salicylic acid together for external application. After half a month, it can corrode and dissolve cuticle, causing corns and calluses to fall off by themselves, thus achieving the purpose of healing. But avoid going into water to avoid infection.
