How to recognize it
Usually this skin manifestation it appears accompanied by pain and looks like a white, soft or hard patch, inside which there is a strange black dot. The medical term for this skin manifestation is tiloma and is classified as a true hyperkeratotic lesion.
L’thickening usually there is thickening of the skin of the feet which is often found either between the toes (especially between the fourth and fifth toes or on the top or finally on the sole of the foot. The black dot in the center of the white protuberance distinguishes the partridge eye from the common callus. The skin is thick and painful to the touch due to the so-called corneum taproot that touches the nerve fibers sensitive to pain, which we experience precisely that famous discomfort that characterizes the partridge eye. makes you notice the problem and is accompanied by an increase in sensitivity, itching, feeling of heat and general discomfort. In some cases the partridge eye is mistaken for a wart, but the clear difference is that the wart derives from a ‘ Human Papilloma virus (HPV) infection. To ascertain whether it is veruca or tiloma at a medical level, hyperkeratosis is removed; in the case of a wart after having removed the part superficial hyperkeratosis is a soft and easily bleeding tissue, while in the case of tyloma in a severe state, hard keratin material continues to be removed. However, remember that before proceeding with the removal there are many remedies to identify and treat the partridge eye.
The causes
Among the various causes of partridge’s eye we find first of all the footwear or the way in which socks are used when the foot has perhaps sweated or is wet. The stiff shoes or too uncomfortable are among the first causes of partridge eye, but also friction given for example by a too “stuffy” sock or too tight laced shoes that cause a rubbing between the toes. When the foot is very thin and the shoes are tight prominent bones could create this problem.
Even the bones that, due to load management, have assumed an abnormal shape with respect to the conformation they should have go to cause partridge eye, especially if the immune defenses are low. Hammer toes or the “infamous” hallux valgus fall into this category. Many of these problems result in loss of the transverse arch or generate osteoarticular alterations that result from one incorrect posture and therefore a strong imbalance between the muscle chains. To prevent the problem from worsening and further overloading various osteoarticular structures and tendons, all weight management from the hip to the knee to the ankle must be reviewed.
Natural remedies
In addition to intuitive remedies there are also so-called “grandmother’s” remedies that allow us to cure partridge eye and to prevent it from happening again. Among the intuitive remedies it would be good to avoid wearing uncomfortable shoes or those that stress the foot and start asking questions about our level of overall hygiene. You can choose an antibacterial soap to ward off possible irritation or infections. Partridge eye should not be treated with corn products. If the problem is related to the support of the foot, it is advisable to review the posture in an important way and possibly provide with specific exercises with a tennis ball or momentary insole to regain a correct support and a management of the appropriate mass.
Among the so-called “grandmother’s remedies”We find foot baths with hot water and bicarbonate salt, to which you can also add a few drops of lavender or lemon essential oil. The foot should be kept in soak for at least 30 minutes to totally soften the affected area. If you act gently, you could use a special file to manually decrease the bump around the black dot. In many cases, a lemon is also rubbed on the affected area and made some compresses of chamomile tea for an hour or two. When the pain and the sense of heat increase, the aloe gel also works very well (if you have a seedling, take a part of it, split it in the middle and extract the gel). It should be applied to the affected area several times a day as it has refreshing properties. An excellent product that gives a lot of relief is also the mother tincture of calendula applied for about 20 minutes several times a day. A real grandmother’s remedy is applying a clove of garlic to the partridge eye which works as a natural anti-inflammatory. Finally, often in the case of partridge eye the common hydrogen peroxide is used by making a foot bath with hot water and hydrogen peroxide and then going to rub the pumice stone or using a file you can go to remove the thickening of the skin.
