Corns and Callus

Corns and Callus




Corns and calluses are annoying and sometimes painful thickenings that form in the skin in areas of pressure. The medical term for the thickened skin that forms corns and calluses is hyperkeratosis.

Causes:

The primary causes of Foot Corn are:
  • Tight fitting shoes can cause corns.
  • Stitch or seam inside the shoe may rub against the toe.
  • Abnormality in walking.
  • Bunions and hammertoes. These can cause rubbing of the foot, while wearing shoes.
  • When surgery is carried out to the lower extremities.
  • Wearing sandals without socks can create problems. Socks should fit properly.
  • Not using gloves while working can cause corns on hands.
Symptoms:
Corns and calluses occur on parts of the feet and sometimes the fingers. Corns can be painful to walk on, even when they are small. Common locations for corns are
  • On the sole, over the metatarsal arch (the “ball” of the foot);
  • On the outside of the fifth (small or “pinky”) toe, where it rubs against the shoe; and
  • Between the fourth and fifth toes. Unlike other corns that are firm and flesh-colored, corns between the toes are often whitish and messy; they are sometimes called “soft corns” (heloma molles), in contrast to the more common “hard corns” (heloma durums) found in other locations.
Diagnosis:
  • Wearing well-fitting, comfortable shoes is useful.
  • Avoid tight fitting hosiery or shoes.
  • One should wear comfortable shoes.
  • In many situations, calluses and corns can be prevented by reducing or eliminating the circumstances that lead to increased pressure at specific points on the hands and feet.

Chemical Constituents (Henna)Lawsone is the major active principle (coloring and pharmacological) in henna. It is not present in the bark, stem, or root of the henna plant. Its concentrations in the leaves vary with climatic conditions; hot localities yield henna with higher lawsone content than temperate areas. There has been a report indicating lawsone to be a degradation and autoxidation product of primary glycosides called hennosides A, B, and C.
Phyllanthus is an herbal medicine with anti-viral effect. Phyllanthus blocks DNA polymerase, the enzyme needed for the Hepatitis B virus to reproduce. Phyllanthus species (family Euphorbiacease) are generally well known for the biologically active compounds they possess.

Asthma


Asthma


Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways. In those susceptible to asthma, this inflammation causes the airways to spasm and swells periodically so that the airways narrow. Obstruction to air flow either resolves spontaneously or responds to a wide range of treatments, but continuing inflammation makes the airways hyper-responsive.
Causes:
  • Exposure to wood smoke.
  • Breathing polluted air.
  • Inhaling other respiratory irritants such as perfumes or cleaning products.
  • Exposure to airway irritants at the workplace.
  • Breathing in allergy-causing substances (allergens) such as molds, dust, or animal dander.
  • An upper respiratory infection, such as a cold, flu, sinusitis, or bronchitis.
  • Exposure to cold, dry weather.
  • Emotional excitement or stress.
  • Genetic predisposition: a parent, brother, or sister also has asthma.
Symptoms:
  • Wheezing.
  • Breathlessness.
  • Chest tightness.
  • Coughing and difficulty speaking.
  • Wheezing is a musical, whistling, or hissing sound with breathing.
  • Wheezes are most often heard during exhalation, but they can occur during breathing in (inhaling).
Diagnosis:
  • Keep taking your asthma medications after you are discharged. This is extremely important. Although the symptoms of an acute asthma attack go away after appropriate treatment, asthma itself never goes away. If your asthma attacks are triggered by an allergic reaction, avoid your triggers as much as possible.
