Become without doubt one of the most common problems of the skin of the feet and also hands. In fact, they are one of the most common conditions, particularly in our feet.

This is the case of the spleen, formed by cells, especially by-lymphocytes and blood we found in the abdomen to the right of the stomach.

The lymph nodes are also part of our immune system. They consist of small, oval and encapsulated structures that are interspersed throughout the course of the lymphatic vessels, sometimes quite scattered throughout our body and in some areas are grouped in larger numbers (that is what happens to areas such as the neck, armpits and groin). Inside we find fibrous trabeculae through which flows the lymph.
