Which department should I go to for corns_Which department does corns belong to

Now with the continuous improvement of living standards, various diseases are also increasing in the process of development. Diseases like corns, if not treated in time, will face health problems and affect the development of our body. First of all, it will cause patients to have difficulty walking, unwilling to stand up and walk, and can only wear very soft shoes. If the shoes are slightly harder, they will feel unbearable pain in the soles of their feet.

What family does corn belong to?

What are the methods for identifying corns?

1. Corns are generally the size of a bean or larger, with a smooth surface that is level with the skin or slightly raised, with clear boundaries, light yellow or dark yellow in color, and an inverted cone-shaped keratin plug in the center that is embedded in the dermis. Because its tip presses on nerve endings, it causes pain when walking. Corns are often found in the front middle part of the plantar, the outer side of the little toe or the inner edge of the big toe, and also on the dorsum of the toes. Corns occur between the 4th and 5th toes and are soaked in sweat, with a grayish-white, softened stratum corneum. It's called a soft corn.

2. Callus is a waxy yellow, flat or slightly raised localized hyperkeratotic plaque that is hard and slightly transparent with unclear boundaries, thicker in the center and thinner at the edges. It often occurs on the palms and soles and often occurs symmetrically. Occupation-related cases may be seen in pressure areas. Generally no symptoms. In severe cases, there may be tenderness.

3. Since it occurs on the palms and soles and appears as keratin hyperplastic lesions, it is not difficult to diagnose. The main difference between corns and calluses is that corns are inverted cone-shaped keratin hyperplasia, which causes obvious pain when walking, while calluses are flat, flaky keratin thickening that covers a wider area and is generally painless. Corns and calluses need to be differentiated from plantar warts: plantar warts can be scattered throughout the soles of the feet, not limited to pressure-bearing areas, can be multiple, and the lesions are as big as soybeans. The surface keratin is thickened. If the surface stratum corneum is scraped off with a knife, a soft keratin core composed of small black dots of blood cells oozing from the dermal papillary blood vessels can be seen.

What are the principles of treatment for corns?

(1) Controlling blood sugar is the basic treatment principle of this disease. Blood sugar control is directly related to the outcome of infection treatment. In addition, patients in this category generally have high blood lipids, so hyperlipidemia should be actively controlled and fibrinolytic drugs should be used to relieve hypercoagulable state and unblock blood flow.

(2) Smoking is prohibited. Because smoking can cause vasoconstriction and reduced blood supply to tissues.

(3) Wear warm, comfortable shoes, socks and pants to avoid inducing constriction of blood vessels in the lower limbs and affecting blood supply.

(4) Keep your feet clean. Wash your feet with soft soap and warm water every night (the temperature should be below 40 degrees Celsius). Generally, the foot soaking time should not exceed 5-10 minutes. Dry thoroughly with a soft towel to keep calluses and corns dry to prevent infection in the callus and corns area and cause adverse consequences. If there are any signs of infection, you should go to the hospital immediately. For infected areas, irritating disinfectants, such as iodine, are generally not used.

(5) Surgical treatment of calluses and corns: There are many treatments for calluses and corns, but the fundamental principle for diabetic patients is that they must control their blood sugar and receive surgical treatment in a regular hospital. Do not wait until you get an infection before going to the hospital. The method of surgery should be determined based on the patient's physical condition, the size of the lesion, etc. After surgery, blood sugar should be kept stable to prevent local infection and adverse consequences.
