Callus, chicken eyes, warts, thorns, and needle eyes, can you really distinguish it?

Everyone may have heard of calluses and thorns, but you know what the needles, chicken eyes and warts mean. This article is about what is the difference and connection between these 5 skin surfaces.

What is the difference between calluses and chicken eyes?

I believe that everyone must be familiar with calluses, but for chicken eye, it may be a state of understanding. In fact, the causes of the surface symptoms of these two skin are very similar, but the results of them are very different. The following is a detailed explanation of calluses and chicken eyes for everyone.

At first, the calluses and chicken eyes were due to a certain skin, because they were chronic squeezing and friction for a long time, which caused the skin to make the skin thickened. Although the causes are the same, since then, the follow -up development of calluses and chicken eyes is completely different.

Copurnus often presents the characteristics of the middle thickness, thin edges, and large area, and the stratum corneum state that becomes thicker is relatively uniform. Callillon can grow in any part of the body, but the more common parts are palms and soles, because these parts are often squeezed and friction.

Look at the eyes of the chicken, as the name implies, because it looks like the eyes of chickens in appearance, it often occurs on the soles of the feet, back and fingertips. After the stratum corneum of the skin becomes thicker, it will be deeply inserted into the depths of the skin. Because the stratum corneum is harder, it is often accompanied by pain, which will even affect daily life in severe cases.

Callow usually does not have obvious symptoms of physical reaction, but if the degree of friction is very powerful, it will produce a certain sense of irritation, and at the same time cause mild pain and burning sensation on the skin. On the other hand, the chicken eye, because the keratin prima penetrates into the dermis layer, is mostly accompanied by pain, especially the chicken eye that occurs on the soles of the foot. When walking, it is often painful because of inevitable friction.

How to treat calluses and chicken eyes?

Calluskeeping, although it does not cause pain, but when removing calluses, it cannot be careless. Usually, everyone will choose to remove the thickened stratum corneum and then remove the pinkstone, but this is not a universal method to deal with calluses. When using a knife or floating stone to cut the stratum corneum, it may hurt the skin to the skin The dermis layer causes unnecessary infection. So it is more recommended to remove the calluses below.

(1) Pay attention to the maintenance of your body daily, take a hot bath regularly to promote blood circulation, and to soften the calluses to a certain extent;

(2) The thick stratum corneum that has been formed does not expect all at once, but use the feet to remove a small point every day after the calluse is softened. This can reduce the risk of damage to the dermis layer, prevent the calluses from becoming thicker, and slowly remove the accumulated stratum corneum.

Eye, because it has hurt the dermis, it is more difficult to remove than calluses. Different patients have different degrees of deeper eye deeper. Generally speaking, the following methods are recommended:

(1) Go to the dermatology department, listen to the doctor’s suggestion, and clearly judge the progress of the chicken eyes on your feet;

(2) Lightly, the corresponding prescription drugs are applied by coating chicken eye paste, and it is removed by surgery.

(3) The reasons for the formation of chicken eyes are long -term chronic friction. Therefore, in order to prevent the chicken eye on the soles, special attention should be taken to choose a pair of suitable shoes to minimize unnecessary friction. At the same time, like removing calluses, pay attention to soak your feet with warm water and remove the stratum corneum on the feet regularly.

What is warts?

Next, I will introduce the diseases on the surface of the warts. In fact, the appearance of the warts is very similar to the chicken eyes, but the cause is completely different.

Warts often occur on the soles of the feet and fingers, which are often caused by infection with human papilloma virus. The appearance of warts and chicken eyes are very similar, but when you look at the surface of warts, sometimes some small black spots are found, and these black spots will not appear. At the same time, warts rarely appear alone and often appear at the same time. The chicken eyes are basically in the same area, with a maximum of 2 to 3, and basically no more than 5. Therefore, if a lot of white bubbles appear on the feet, and the number will increase, the possibility of suffering from warts is relatively high.

From the degree of development, there is still the following difference:

(1) Because the chicken eye is not caused by the virus, it is not infectious, and warts are contagious. Therefore, after it is found that after the white bubbles on the feet, if the chicken eye cream does not improve after applying the chicken eye paste, but the number of increases increases, it is likely to be a wart caused by virus infections.

(2) The growth rate of the two diseases is different. The growth rate of chicken eyes is slow, basically for several months, and warts can be formed in less than half a month.

How to treat warts?

The treatment of warts is mainly recommended as follows:

(1) First of all, like chicken eye, warts need to reduce friction in the treatment, such as changing a pair of feet shoes.

(2) Because warts are contagious, if the warts are diagnosed, pay attention to avoid infection, such as bathtubs, towels, shoes and other items in contact with warts on the skin to avoid using them with others at the same time to prevent transmission to others.

(3) As soon as possible, choose different treatments according to the types of different warts. Do not look like chicken eye, just use the methods of applying chicken eye cream to expect to heal yourself. Common treatment methods include drug treatment, injection therapy, external medication, and surgical treatment. Depending on the degree of the warts, the occurrence of the parts, etc., go to the hospital in time, listen to the reasonable suggestions of the doctor, and choose the appropriate treatment method. What kind of "thorns" are meat thorns?

The meat thorns refer to the left and right armor folds or proximal armor folds of the fingernails or toenails. The meat thorns are also often called A thorns, embedded, etc.

The stratum corneum of the outermost layer of the skin plays the task of protecting the inner skin. If the stratum corneum lacks the right amount of water and loses the softness and lubrication, it will cause cracks such as cracked cracks. The cause of the meat thorns is roughly internal and external. The internal cause is related to the physical fitness of the individual. If the human body suffers from skin inflammation, or the skin is relatively dry, or the hands and feet are prone to sweat. The problem of water loss. Let's talk about foreign causes, such as excessive use of alkaline substances such as soap or organic solvents, plus friction, minor trauma, etc., long -term exposure to dry atmospheric environments, it is also easy to cause thorns.

How to treat meat thorns?

Of course, the symptoms of meat thorns are generally not serious. Everyone has more or less problems with thorns. Basically, it is mainly based on the method of applying ointment and reducing inflammation. At the same time To the skin of the root causes secondary damage. If the thorns have grown very long, you can choose to cut off the tip, keep the root, avoid hurting other skin, and reduce the strange feeling of your fingers.

What kind of "eye" is needle eye?

Finally, I will explain to you what is the needle eye. The needle eye is also called wheat enlarged, mainly in the eyelids, and slight swelling occurs on the eyelids, accompanied by pain. The main symptoms of the needle eye are at the eyelids, and a small place occurs in a small place with white substances inside, which makes the eyelids feel strange and accompanied by swelling and pain.

How to treat the needle eye?

The cause of the needle eye is mostly due to the infection of Golden Pugacence, especially when human immunity is prone to this symptom. Common treatment methods are to go to professional ophthalmology, with some eye drops or internal medicine to relieve symptoms. Of course, when the symptoms are severe, the doctor may cut the abscess at the doctor, and then with the corresponding disinfection treatment to reduce the patient's swelling and pain.

I introduced five common skin surface symptoms above. I believe that everyone has found that although their names are similar, the pathology and diseases are different. Chicken eye, calluses and warts are similar in appearance, and thorns and needle eyes are completely another symptom. Of course, in terms of severity, warts are the most serious, followed by chicken eyes and needle eyes, then meat thorns, and finally calluses. However, we understand these five skin surface symptoms, and everyone will also find that the prevention method is actually very simple. Wear appropriate shoes and clothes to minimize the strange friction of the skin to ensure that the skin is sufficient. At the same time, relieve stress, ensure that the immune system is in a normal state, and prevent any germs from taking advantage of the opportunity, which can effectively prevent these five common skin surface symptoms.
