The life of a modern person is filled as much as possible with all kinds of affairs related to work, household chores, sports, studies. A big load in all this falls on his feet. But over the years, a person notices that they suddenly begin to “refuse” from such stresses that are usual for these parts of the body — the joints got sick, the bump appeared on the leg under the skin, or the veins were disturbed. Of course, I immediately want to know how this could happen. What to do to restore health? Which doctor should I go to?
Leg seals
The formation of so-called "cones" on the legs is a fairly common occurrence. What are the symptoms?
Usually, the first appearance of such a neoplasm does not cause anxiety, and a person does not consult a doctor. Anxiety occurs when the bump on the leg under the skin begins to rapidly increase in size, causing severe pain. In addition, inflammation and suppuration appear. The ugly appearance during this process is also important.
Cones can be very different because of the origin, appearance, location on the legs. They are single and numerous, hard and soft to the touch, reddened and ulcerative, painful and not. Neoplasms are benign and malignant.
The appeared bumps on the legs have a variety of reasons - impaired fat metabolism, swollen lymph nodes, skin cancer, cysts, lipomas, fibromas, moles, warts, and much more.
The methods of treatment directly depend on the causes of the disease, and only a doctor knows about them. Therefore, you should immediately contact a dermatologist, infectious disease specialist, dermatovenerologist or oncologist.
Why do cones grow
Do not ignore one of the most common diseases associated with the growth of a "bump" or "bone" on the legs. In medicine, it refers to diseases of the musculoskeletal system and is called "deformation of the forefoot." What are the causes of this disease?
The bump on the leg (under the skin) appears as a result of improper position of the joints of the foot. And this often leads to wearing uncomfortable shoes. The distorted position of the joints entails not only the growth of the cone, but also the curvature of the toes, the appearance of corns, corns, flat feet. All this is accompanied by an uncomfortable state, severe pain.
The reasons for the appearance of such cones are different. One of the main ones is wrong shoes. It is noted that the problem in 98% of cases worries women, and only 2% of the disease develops in men. Why is this happening? There is no need to talk about the difference in the models of men's and women's shoes. And if we consider the statistics of the disease only in women, then it is as follows: 50% of all representatives of the weaker sex noted signs or suffer from similar diseases.
The constant wearing of high-heeled shoes, childbirth, professional features, increased load on the legs, age - all this will certainly give a negative result after some time. If a woman does not want a bump on her leg under her skin to become a real problem for her in the future, it is necessary today to reconsider her attitude to shoes, loads, and lifestyle.
How to cure bumps on the legs?
The question of the treatment of the disease must be decided with an orthopedic surgeon. Methods of restoring health will depend on the stages of development of the disease.
In the initial stages, a change of shoes, some physiotherapeutic procedures, and traditional medicine can be an effective tool.
If the disease has received more serious forms, then corrective insoles, arch support, interdigital ridges, and fixators are added to the listed methods.
The most complex forms of such abnormalities are treated by surgery after special studies. Surgical intervention is recommended only in the most extreme cases.
