Medical Video: When To Replace Your Running Shoes | How To Test If Your Trainers Are Worn Out
Fish eyes are hard and rough lumps like warts, which usually appear in places that often get repeated pressure, such as the heel, forefoot, toes, between the toes and the sides of the feet. This repetitive pressure causes the fish's eyes to grow in, beneath the thick and thick layers of skin like calluses. However, fish eyes and calluses are different conditions. What causes fish eyes?
Causes of fish eyes
Fish eyes generally occur in the legs, but that does not mean they cannot occur elsewhere. In many cases, eyelets are not a serious health problem.
However, this condition can cause a very uncomfortable and painful feeling, if not handled properly. Fish eyes also disturb you to carry out daily activities.
The cause of eyelets is an infection of human papilomavirus (HPV). This is indeed one of the viruses that cause venereal disease. However, the HPV virus has various types. Even so, the type of HPV that attacks the skin is different from attacking the genitals.
This virus attacks the body through small cuts or scratches, a warm and moist environment, such as the bathroom floor. This virus can also be spread through direct contact with infected people.
After the HPV virus enters the open skin, the virus can grow and spread, stimulating rapid cell growth on the surface of the skin.
