Small, noncancerous extra cell growth making the outer layer of the skin thick and hard is called as the wart.
Causes: Infection of human papillomavirus (HPV).
People with low immunity, eczema or other chronic skin conditions, or the ones who bite their nails or pick at hangnails are prone to getting warts.
Warts are passed by direct skin contact. Picking at your warts and then touching another area of your body causes the warts to spread. Warts are also spread through cloth or razor that has touched a wart on the body.
Often seen on the backs of hands, fingers, on the skin around nails and the feet; these warts are flesh colored.
These warts are spiky, like tiny brushes. They tend to grow on the face, around mouth, eyes, and nose.
These warts appear in numbers 20 to 100 at a time. They are generally found on children’s faces, men’s beard areas, and women’s legs.
These warts appear on the soles of your feet.
Having sex with someone who has them will give you genital warts. They look like a little bit of cauliflower on your genitals.
It may take as long as 2 years or even more for warts to disappear on their own as your body fights them.
Some warts need to be treated.
The corns are hardened layers of skin that are thick. The corns develop mostly on hands, fingers, feet, and toes. When the skin is regularly subjected to friction and pressure, it tries to protect itself and thus thickens, causing the corns.
In people with normal health, eliminating the cause of friction or pressure makes the corns vanish. Treatment is only needed when they become painful.
In diabetics, corns definitely need to be attended to because of poor blood flow to the feet. This might lead to complications if not treated on time.
If you notice the following, you have a corn:
Corns have a hard center surrounded by inflamed skin. They are painful when pressed. Corns mostly develop on non weight bearing parts of your feet, like the tops and sides of your toes and even between your toes. They can also develop in weight-bearing areas.
If corns become painful or inflamed, you need to visit a doctor. Diabetics certainly should not wait. They should see a doctor at the earliest.
To prevent the corns from developing, avoid all that is causing friction on your feet and hands.
