Many pathologies in the body provoke the formation of cones on the fingers. Such formations lead to limitation of mobility of joints, reduction of their flexibility, and, in the final result, to partial or complete loss of ability to work. Let's try to find out the reasons for the appearance of cones on the fingers and, and determine the ways of treatment.
Cones on the joints of fingers
Changes in the joints of the hands - one of the most common reasons for contacting a surgeon or orthopedist. Often, such deformations are associated with age-related changes in the body of a woman and the onset of menopause. Among the common causes of cone formation are diseases such as:
- gout - deposition of uric acid in the form of crystals;
- arthritis and osteoarthritis - inflammatory diseases in the joints;
- arthrosis - destructive changes in the joint tissues;
- deposition of salts as a result of metabolic disorders.
Cones on the folds of the fingers of the hand may appear in people who, due to the performance of certain types of work, keep their hands in cold water for long, for example, when cleaning fish, or for a long time retain the position of the brush with simultaneous tension of the fingers (for playing musical instruments, working at a computer etc.) Often the cause of deformation of the joints are:
- improper diet;
- overweight;
- maintaining an unhealthy lifestyle;
- smoking.
Cone under the skin on the finger
The growth on one of the phalanges of the fingers is a hygromous (synovial cyst). Most often a lump filled with a viscous liquid is found next to the nail on the middle finger of the hand. This disease is typical for representatives of professions, whose work involves a significant load on the hands, for example, for masseurs. Also, the cause of the appearance of the hygroma can be repeatedly repeated brush injuries.
Treatment of cones on fingers
A full treatment of the disease is possible only under the supervision of a specialist. The doctor, having determined the cause of the disease and having made an accurate diagnosis, prescribes adequate therapy with the inclusion of:
- medicinal preparations;
- means for topical application (ointments, gels, creams);
- physiotherapy;
- massage;
- Exercise therapy.
Equally important in the therapy is the adherence to the diet and the chaotic regime of the day.
A certain curative effect is given by compresses made from a mixture of honey, ground wormwood and cabbage leaves, appliqués of blue clay . Traditional medicine recommends taking daily on an empty stomach for ½ cup of cabbage juice in the morning and evening.
