Sometimes, some people find that a hard lump has inexplicably grown on the sole of their foot, which is very painful when pressed, and even causes them to limp when walking. There are many reasons why hard bumps appear on the soles of your feet, such as ill-fitting shoes, excessive walking, or a viral infection on the soles of your feet. So what should we do if we have painful hard bumps on the soles of our feet?

1The reason why a hard pimple grows on the foot

There are many reasons for the growth of pimples, and only the right medicine can cure it. The one on the foot is eczema, which is called atopic dermatitis in Western medicine. It grows in specific parts of the human body and occurs symmetrically. It is particularly prone to the knees, elbows, ankles, and wrists. The skin lesions generally do not have obvious moisture, but are very itchy. The affected area will become thickened, pigmented, scabbed, dry, cracked and painful over time, and the itching will worsen seasonally. The itching is most obvious at night, and there is very little itching during the day. Staying up late and being stressed and tired will aggravate the itching. Do not buy any topical medications by yourself. It is not suitable to take Western anti-allergic drugs. It is better to take Chinese medicine for good conditioning. It is mainly caused by your weak spleen and stomach and the stress of study. Chinese medicine can also be used to wet the affected area. Do not take a bath frequently to prevent dry skin. Once every 2 weeks or a month is best. Do not use shower gel, soap, or hot water to take a bath. It is recommended to keep feet clean and dry, and sweaty feet should be treated. Change your shoes and socks frequently. People with tight gaps between toes can use some straw paper to absorb moisture and allow ventilation. Shoes should be well ventilated. Do not use other people's slippers, bath towels, rags, etc.

2 How to treat a hard pimple on your foot

2. Blister type: Soak your feet in hot water every day and then apply clotrimazole anti-tinea lotion or compound salicylic acid tincture once a day. After the skin is dry, apply anti-foot pain medicine or anti-ringworm ointment.

3. Keratotic type: You can use compound benzoic acid cream externally or apply it alternately with compound salicylic acid alcohol, once in the morning and once in the evening. It is best to wrap the area with plastic film after applying the medicine so that the medicine can penetrate into the thick skin and facilitate peeling off the thick skin.
