Spines are one of the varieties of warts that usually appear on the soles or palms of the hands. This is a very painful formation , causing acute pain under mechanical stress (for example, when walking).
Our client’s sincere gratitude is not empty words. Our doctors successfully saved little Dasha from unpleasant formations.
Externally, the spine has the appearance of a compacted whitish papilla, rising above the surface of the skin ( at the beginning of the disease ).
Subsequently - a formation that increases in width and depth over time (from 1 month to 2-3 years), with an uneven, bumpy surface, black dots inside.
When pressed , painful sensations occur, periodically itching.
When opened independently, they bleed heavily.
Where does the thorn come from and why is it dangerous?
Thorn is the popular name for warts. This is a viral skin disease that is accompanied by unpleasant sensations when in contact with shoes and pain when pressed. Outwardly, it resembles corns, certain growths on the skin, characteristic of which is a crater-shaped appearance.
The virus is transmitted mainly through sexual and household contacts. Also, scientists claim that the papilloma virus is present in the body of every person, and in stressful situations or decreased immunity, it is “activated”, thus appearing on the surface of the skin.
Shipitsa
To avoid the development and activation of the virus, it is not recommended:
- Wear shoes that are too narrow or uncomfortable
- Avoid excessive sweating of the palms and feet
- Thoroughly disinfect wounds or cuts
- Avoid stressful situations
- Affects a significant decrease in immunity
The spine is considered a harmless (benign) neoplasm, but it has the ability to become malignant. If the growth increases, it is worth contacting a specialist and having histology done. It can grow to large proportions and is accompanied by terrible pain and discomfort.
Causes
The main etiological factor in the appearance of the spine is the human papillomavirus, especially its 1, 2, 4 strains. Currently, more than 80% of people are potential owners of this virus.
While the pathogen is in an inactive phase, all clinical manifestations are absent. The incubation period can be several years or even decades. To activate HPV and cause warts, exposure to additional causes is necessary. These include:
- Pregnancy and lactation period.
- Frequent psycho-emotional stress, stress.
- Long-term use of cytotoxic drugs and antibiotics.
- Avitaminosis.
- Lack of adequate nutrition.
- Alcohol abuse.
- Past infectious diseases: severe ARVI, influenza, herpes, herpes zoster, cytomegalovirus.
The lactation period may be the cause of the appearance of the spine.
Also, favorable factors for the “awakening” of HPV are excessive sweating of the feet and palms, failure to comply with personal hygiene rules, and walking barefoot.
The human papillomavirus enters the body mainly through contact.
The presence of mechanical damage on the sole or hands (abrasions, wounds, scratches) also contributes to the penetration of the virus and the development of the disease.
What and how can you treat the spine, which doctor should you contact?
In order to get rid of unpleasant calluses, you need to completely destroy it, this is done by a dermatologist. It is worth contacting a specialist immediately with the first manifestations of a viral disease. Although the spine is considered not dangerous, the consequences of the disease can be disastrous if you do not attach importance to it.
The main medical methods to combat thorn are:
- Excision with a scalpel. Used in the treatment of large warts. Not the most reliable, because... a relapse of the virus is possible. It may also leave a scar.
- Laser spine removal. A more reliable option, for small warts, high temperature does not leave a single chance for the virus to reappear.
- Electrocoagulation. This is a method of burning out surface growths with current. The virus does not spread after the procedure
- Cryodestruction. Characterized by freezing with liquid nitrogen. The procedure is painful. Afterwards, there is a slight redness, but over time it disappears
Why do growths form?
The initial step in successfully combating pathology is determining the cause. Of course, after the formation of a plantar wart, all efforts must be devoted to treatment, and not to establishing the causes. However, it must be said that dealing with the consequences without this step is guaranteed to lead to a relapse, and more than once.
The inflammatory process, which is localized in the lower extremities, can occur due to rupture or severe tension of the tendons in the sole. A person constantly puts pressure on these parts of the body with his weight, so they are exposed to severe stress every day. Microtraumas are often detected, and it becomes almost impossible to cope with them without identifying the causes. The inflammatory process of the synovial bursa often leads to pathology.
The reasons for the appearance of thorns on the feet are as follows:
- prolonged loads on the soles of the limbs;
- flat feet;
- wearing shoes with flat insoles for a long time;
- excess weight, weakening of the muscle component of the foot;
- chronic injuries of the sole or single ones, but caused by a serious illness, physical damage, etc.;
- age-related changes in structure;
- tight and uncomfortable shoes.
Plantar growth rarely occurs in one instance; the soles of both feet are often affected. How to treat a spine? In fact, there are many ways, but for each there is a general recommendation. To effectively cope with the disease, you need to consult an orthopedist. Only a specialist can help eliminate the tumor with minimal risks.

Features of the disease

But if you do not take into account external manifestations, alarm bells arise in advance. Often the patient unknowingly changes his gait due to discomfort. Here you need to be more attentive to the patient’s loved ones, because the patient himself rarely notices this.
Unpleasant sensations in the sole area are the main symptom. Pain can be of different types: constant and periodic. It depends on what stage the inflammatory process is currently developing. The pain syndrome is localized not on the spur itself, but inside it. There are two main types of it: starting (when the patient feels discomfort immediately after waking up) and dynamic (unpleasant feelings occur with any more or less serious load on the sole).

Throughout this period, the person suffers when walking, feeling severe pain. Sometimes the inflammatory process continues for several days, you need to be prepared for this.

How to remove the spine with Vishnevsky, salicylic, oxolinic, Viferon ointments?
Often, warts are benign papillomas and do not interfere at all, but there are also cases in which hardened growths are characterized by unpleasant pain and cause discomfort.
There are quite a large number of radical methods for solving the problem. But if the tumor does not bother you, then it is better to start with traditional methods, or, it is easier to use ready-made ointments. For example, the well-known Vishnevsky ointment, salicylic, oxolinic, Viferon.
Salicylic ointment has been justifiably popular for quite some time. It is made on the basis of acid and acts directly on the wart itself. Over time, it dies and disappears on its own. Only acid-based ointments are not designed to influence the virus itself, so a relapse is possible.
Salicylic ointment helps with warts of all types, and is also suitable for the feet. It should be applied to the keratinized body once every 3 days for several weeks. Afterwards, cover with a napkin. Its characteristics are no worse than the expensive cryotherapy procedure.
Unlike the previous product, oxolinic ointment is characterized by an antiviral effect, that is, it affects the deep layers of the skin. For the procedure, you should choose the evening, steam the growth, remove all dead skin. And apply the ointment to the wart itself and the undamaged area around it 2-3 times a day.
Ointments for removing spines
Doctors often prescribe Viferon for warts. A fairly common medicine, due to the fact that it is available in different forms, it is suitable for all types of warts. The procedures are painless and leave no marks on the skin.
The method of application is very simple - no more than 4 times a day, rub a small amount of Viferon into the localized area. If progress is not noticeable within a month, you should consult a doctor.
Vishnevsky ointment is considered one of the most powerful antibacterial agents that accelerates the regeneration process. Therefore, it is recommended to apply the ointment after cutting off the hardened body, which is worn until the wound heals.
Warts easily fall off after applying a cake made from a couple of cloves of garlic, 1 tbsp. vinegar essence and a small amount of wheat flour. The cake should be secured with a bandage and worn for 2-3 hours. If unsuccessful, repeat the procedure again. After that, the damaged area is lubricated with Vishnevsky ointment, a bandage is applied and worn until healing.
The effect on warts with ointments will go faster if you first steam the damaged area. Also, do not forget that first of all, it is simply necessary to consult a specialist, since self-medication can lead to disastrous consequences.
CryoPharma
Freezing pharmaceutical preparations help get rid of the spikes. CryoPharma is the most popular among them. The refrigerants contained in it destroy the structure of the abnormal growth. This causes the death of the treated tissues and leads to the disappearance of the problematic formation.
The drug CryoFarama has many advantages. Chief among them are:
- Simplicity and speed of use;
- Affordability;
- Minimum age restrictions (allowed for use by everyone except children under four years old).
However, the medication also has a number of disadvantages:
- Exceeding the exposure time may lead to scarring at the treatment site;
- Gentle freezing may not kill the virus itself, hidden in the layers of the epidermis. Because of this, a new growth or even a conglomerate of them may appear in place of the removed spine.
Treatment of a problem area on the foot takes 40 seconds. The time must be kept very precisely. This is especially noted in the instructions for the drug.
Exposure to refrigerants is carried out using an applicator sold along with the drug. It is applied to the spine and held for the specified time. A tingling or burning sensation may be felt during treatment. The skin color should turn white.
After some time, the tubercle turns red. A blister forms above it, protecting the process of formation of new healthy skin.
After two weeks the spine disappears. If this does not happen, then the problem area should be re-treated.
To remove the same spine, CryoPharm is allowed to be used no more than three times. The break between treatments should be fourteen days.
Twelve applicators are included with the can. One package of the drug is enough to remove seven growths.
How to remove a spine with a Salipod patch?
Salipod is known as an excellent softening and antibacterial agent. In most cases, the patch is used against corns and calluses, warts and growths.
The patch should be used in the following order:
- Apply the patch to the tumor for 1 day
- Carefully remove the patch. The body of the wart should be very soft
- Use nail scissors to cut off the unnecessary soft wart
- Reapply the patch to the cut site for a day.
- When removed again, a small indentation may remain. The wound will dry out on its own and the skin will renew itself. For speedy healing, you can use Vishnevsky ointment. It will not only speed up the healing process, but also acts as an antibacterial agent.
Anti-spine patch
As a remedy against warts, it is ineffective. This is justified by the fact that the patch is made with a high content of salicylic acid (more than 30%). It does not act on the source of the problem - the papilloma virus, but only on the keratinized body. There is a chance to get rid of the problem only in the first stages of the disease.
Doctor Wei Speckle Killer
The Chinese remedy for spines is very popular. It's called Doctor Wei Speckle Killer.
The drug consists of two vials:
- The first (glass) contains a composition for removing skin lesions;
- In the second (plastic) there is a means for tissue regeneration.
Before starting to process the spine, the bottle should be shaken thoroughly. Then a toothpick is dipped into the suspension and the medicinal composition is applied to the growth.
After the product gets on the education, severe pain should occur. The wart itself may turn red. This reaction shows that the remedy is working.
If there is no discomfort, then the medicine should be wiped off and reapplied. If pain does not appear, then there is no need to use a second bottle. There will be no result.
If unpleasant sensations arise, you should wait two to three minutes, and then apply the composition from the second bottle. Regenerating treatment should be carried out up to five times a day.
When removing small growths, restoration procedures are repeated for three days, for large ones - up to ten.
How to spell a thorn on a leg or arm with a thread: conspiracy
Prickles are a fairly common problem; they are often confused with corns and people try to get rid of them on their own. In order to get rid of painful growths using spells, it is worth understanding the cause of the appearance of this disease.
In ancient times, it was believed that warts appeared when a person was possessed by an evil spirit, caused damage, or when touching toads or frogs. Even in the 21st century, conspiracies are considered effective methods against warts and thorns.
Thorn Spell
Plot with a thread:
To carry out the ritual, you need to take a cotton thread of 30-35 cm. Perform it only during the waxing moon. Go outside, touch all the warts with a thread, and tie as many knots as there are warts on the body. After this we read the words: “A month, a month you are young, take my warts with you!”
Say three times and bury the thread underground, at a depth of 25cm. When the thread rots, then all the formations will come off. It is important to consider that women should perform the ritual on women's days - Wednesday, Friday, Saturday. And men - on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday.
Preventive measures

- Strictly observe the rules of personal hygiene: wash your hands regularly, take a shower daily, and in hot weather increase the number of water treatments.
- Eliminate excessive sweating of the extremities.
- Visit public bathrooms, showers, saunas and swimming pools only in rubber slippers.
- Do not use other people's bath towels, shoes, or clothes.
- Do not wear tight shoes made of non-natural materials or synthetic socks.

The formation of spines is associated with the entry of the papilloma virus into the blood, so treatment should be aimed at eliminating the original source of the disease. You should not self-medicate: only your doctor can correctly prescribe therapy in this case and tell you how to get rid of heel thorns forever.
What is better to remove the spine: laser or nitrogen?
There are many folk methods against thorns and warts. If it is not possible to solve the dilemma at home, women turn to cosmetic procedures. The most popular of them are laser or liquid nitrogen removal of warts. In order to understand which procedure is better to do, it is worth first understanding them separately.
Removing papillomas with a laser is considered a fairly effective procedure; one will be enough to destroy the growth. The operation is painless, because Injected under the wart with local anesthesia, the procedure lasts up to 20 minutes. Thanks to the high frequencies, the beam regulates the condition of the blood vessels. Thus, it promotes the presence of a dry, favorable field for work. The laser not only removes the tumor, but also acts on the deep areas of the skin, which prevents relapse.
Removing the spine
The disadvantage of this procedure is that it leaves a wound on the skin. And if the wart was large, a scar may remain.
The procedure for using liquid nitrogen is very popular today. Due to the fact that it takes little time, literally 30 seconds. Before the procedure, tests are taken to prevent allergies. The sequence is:
- The doctor must disinfect the area
- Apply emollient
- Administer local anesthesia
- Apply the applicator
- After freezing, the skin is treated with a special product
The procedure is more painful, despite the fact that time passes quickly, it must be repeated several times. Negative consequences such as peeling of the skin and the appearance of dark spots may occur.
Is it painful to cauterize the spine?
The spine is burned using both physical methods and folk methods at home. You can get rid of tumors using garlic, vinegar, hydrogen peroxide; also in radical ways - cauterization with laser and liquid nitrogen.
It goes without saying that the procedure is quite unpleasant, even if local anesthesia is used. However, it makes you feel better. Recovery from surgery may be more painful than the cauterization process itself. But this applies more to surgical interventions.
If we talk about “folk” methods of getting rid of growths, then indeed the process can be accompanied by discomfort and sometimes pain. Especially if before the procedure you steam the damaged area well and clean the top layer of skin.
What tests can the doctor order?
To make a correct diagnosis, a dermatologist will need to perform procedures such as:
- Survey . If the spines are clearly visible, the doctor can make a diagnosis based on a visual examination. In some cases, a biopsy of the affected tissue is performed for subsequent study in the laboratory.
- DNA test . This test helps determine the type of HPV that can cause cervical cancer. The material is collected using a PAP test.
An analysis aimed at determining the type of HPV is used for screening for the presence of infection. It is advisable to carry out this test only for women who have crossed the 30-year age limit.
