One of the most common parts of the human body, the foot, not only carries the weight of the whole body, but also is an essential tool to help humans walk. “Read ten thousand books, travel ten thousand miles”, without feet, people can not walk, can not go everywhere to see the world, so as to broaden their horizons and enlighten their thinking.
It can be seen that no matter from what point of view, feet are very important to people.
Therefore, it is also necessary to pay attention to the health of your feet.
Next, I will talk about some knowledge about medical grade pedicure.
Before getting a pedicure, you should first identify the problems with your feet. From the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, we can observe and judge comprehensively from four aspects.
Step one, ask.
“Ask” is to ask the patient what kind of work and its working environment, whether there is a past history, the time and course of the onset, the cause of the onset, the pain situation, the pain site and the duration of the symptoms, whether there is a history of trauma and treatment.
If the patient is a manual worker, because of walking a lot, most may suffer from callus or corns.
If callus patients have symptoms since childhood and not only because of external forces or frequent friction, you can know that this is not ordinary callus but palmoplantar keratosis.
If the patient usually wears shoes or socks are not easy to breathe, then the chance of suffering from athlete’s foot and gray toenails is more.
Step two, look.
“Look” is to observe the body parts, nature, skin color and changes, the shape of the feet, what kind of shoes to wear and the wear of the soles.
If the surface is yellow and shiny, this callose is mostly deep and hard; Local skin redness, no abnormal protrusion, the epidermis slightly hardened, mostly callus just out. The heel of the shoe has obvious wear, mostly long heel edge pads, etc.
Step four, touch.
“Touch” is to touch the location of the disease to understand the nature and degree of foot disease.
For example, when you press the callus with your finger, if it hurts, it is likely to have a hard core or corns. Nail nails with a knife from the side of the nail down to roll the knife, you can know the thickness of the nail and the specific situation of the nail embedding. Pinch the location of the disease with two fingers, if the pain is severe, there are corns or calluses in the nail ditch, etc., when splitting the nail knife can bring out a part of the calluses.
If the pain on both sides is severe, and the pain on both sides is light, the toenail simply grows deep, and there is no lesion in the nail trench, you can know what you can know when splitting.
Part Three, Detective.
“Probe” is based on the case that you can’t see the inside from the surface, you can first try to take off a part of the horn, you can see whether there are corns, warts, etc. If you are not sure whether it is a wart, you can cut it gently with a knife, if it has blood, most of it can be determined as a wart.
In short, the preliminary judgment of the symptom site before medical grade pedicure is very important, we should see more, analyze more, accumulate more experience, and study the causes and symptoms of various foot diseases.
