Water corn. Water drops on the hands. Dropsy on the leg

Water corn can appear at anyone. It arises as a result of strong pressure on any part of the skin. In the summer, such problems appear with special regularity, because a warm season is summer work that provokes the appearance of calluses on their hands. And the legs are "decorated" with dropsy after walking in new, beautiful and fashionable, but not quite comfortable shoes.

This problem is very painful, so you can not bypass it. Today we will consider ways to treat calluses on the hands and feet, preventing their occurrence.

What is a dropsy, and because of what it occurs

Water corn is a soft, almost transparent blister in which liquid is found. Most often it can be found on the legs (on the fingers, between them, on the soles of the feet and heels), as well as on the fingers and palms of the hands. Although any other part of the body that has been subjected to prolonged friction can also "decorate" with dropsy.

Probably, one should not say again that the water callus can cause a tight or wide (dangling on the leg) shoes. A high heel, too, now and then becomes the cause of the appearance of painful injuries. After all, the fingers and the sole near them in such shoes get a special load, and if you add to it the damp feet that are wet on a hot day, the appearance of calluses is almost inevitable.

How exactly does a dropsy develop on the leg or arm

Initially, a small reddening appears on the exposed area of the skin, then it swells slightly and a slight soreness appears.

If at this point you can stop working, then in order not to appear, for example, dropsy on your hands, seal the damage with adhesive tape. Then, most likely, the blister does not arise, and no further treatment is needed.

And if you remembered only when the bubble was already formed, you'll have to tinker with it. And although you probably think that such damage is not very serious, it should be remembered that the place where the dropsy was ruptured quickly becomes infected, so it requires special attention.

How to properly pierce a large water corn

The first thing you want to do to anyone who discovered a dropsy on his arm or leg is to pierce it. However, this should not be done, especially if the water is small. It should just be covered with a bactericidal breathable patch and wait until it passes by itself. Do not forget to take it off periodically, thus ensuring air access. This will speed up healing.

In cases where damage to large sizes and delivers special discomfort, it can be pierced. However, before removing the corn, observe a number of mandatory rules.

1. Puncture do not later than the first day after the appearance of damage.
2. Be sure to disinfect the surface of the water callus with hydrogen peroxide, and hold the needle over the fire.
3. Puncture should be done sideways, parallel to the surface of the skin, so as not to injure the tender surface of the corneal floor (this is what most often provokes inflammation).
4. In a large callus, it is best to make several punctures to ensure the outflow of fluid, but at the same time try not to tear the skin: it will become a kind of "bandage" for the surface.
5. In order to completely remove the liquid, tightly press the peel of the dropsy dropsy with a bandage soaked in peroxide.
6. To prevent infection, brush the corn with greenery or Levomekol ointment.

Water callus: treatment with folk remedies

One of the simplest folk remedies that help to treat water blisters is the bath, which is prepared from salt dissolved in warm water in the ratio of 1 tbsp. Spoon the product per 1 liter of water. Just do not take hot water, it can lead to the fact that the skin on your hands or feet will decay, and the water blob will burst. Salt bath is done quickly (you can just rinse the limbs in it). Suitable in such cases, and a pink solution of potassium permanganate. And, of course, it is not bad at this to give a rest to the damaged surface for at least three days.

Aloe juice also works great. This natural antiseptic is applied in the form of a small piece of leaf that is cut along to expose the flesh. Applying the aloe with the inner part to the wound, fix it with adhesive tape and change every six hours until healing.

And plantain as a remedy is especially popular. It should be rinsed in cold water and, after a slight rumpling, before the appearance of juice, attach to the damage.

How are signs of infection

Do not try to fight these symptoms yourself! Go to the surgeon. If there is redness around your injury, and the skin is swollen, the pain in the wound becomes permanent, even if you do not touch it, the liquid in the blister appears unclear, and yellow crusts appear around the cracked corn - these are all signs of infection. Similar phenomena can accompany a rise in temperature, both general and local, as well as purulent discharge from the wound.

How to prevent the appearance of corns

Everyone understands that any problems are easier to prevent than to solve the consequences of their own negligence. This directly applies to dropsy on the hands and feet. You should know a number of simple rules, so that later you do not have to treat painful injuries:

• Shoes should always be selected according to size and without any hint of any inconvenience. Even if the shoes are miraculous as good, you should not buy them with the thought that they are spreading over time. Too tight a backdrop in the shoe can very quickly rub the heel, and you still have to change the model shoes to flip flops, so as not to disturb the tattered corn.
• Going on a hike or a long hike, you need to wear a specially designed for this pastime shoes. Look, whether there are no on socks, which you put on sports shoes, rough seams or elementary holes, because dropsy on the leg may appear for this reason.
