Wart

A wart is a benign neoplasm of the skin that occurs due to the proliferation of epidermal cells and the papillary layer of the dermis caused by the human papillomavirus transmitted by the contact path.

Verruca: causes of appearance, types, diagnosis and treatment

Wart - mainly localized benign education due to the hyperplasia of the epidermis.Papillomatous growths and papules often seem due to the activity of viral infections.The main reason for their presence is the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) in the body.The HPV infection occurs in a contact and in one way, due to which viral flora penetrates through the skin or mucous membranes.The risk of infection increases various damage to the skin and mucous membranes, as well as to weakened immunity.

As statistics show, over 60% of the population are HPV vectors.At the same time, HPV symptomatically may not manifest itself for life.The warts, many of which are called papillomas, occur on the skin and mucous membranes only if there are favorable factors for this.One of these is the weakening of the immune system caused by various diseases, hormonal malfunctions, leading an unhealthy lifestyle, etc.

There are various types of warts, whose appearance is caused by one or another type of virus.Each type of skin formation can be located on the skin or mucous membranes.It is not always possible to eliminate the virus from the body.However, when infected by some of its varieties, you can see cars -questation.Today, if the patient has warts, the treatment, as a rule, consists in assuming antiviral drugs and in the removal of neoplasms.There are various methods to remove selected warts for each patient.

Warts in adults

Men and women are equally susceptible to infections with human papillomavirus and, consequently, on the appearance on the skin and mucous membranes of neoplasms such as warts.The penetration of the virus in the body is possible, whether with a normal handshake or the use of general hygiene, and in sexual contact.Once in the human body, the virus penetrates the epithelium of the squamous skin and actively multiplies in it.The incubation period for HPV can be from one or more months to six months or more.

It is almost impossible to protect your body from infection with the virus and appearance of warts on legs, arms, face and other parts of the body.Among the basic recommendations for the prevention of warts note the exclusion of contacts with the skin of people who have such neoplasms, respect for personal hygiene rules and an increase in the level of immune defense.

Warts in women

Women's warts can appear on any part of the body in any period of life.In shape, color and size, they can be different, starting from small flat warts on the white face, ending with dark tip condition on the mucous membranes of the genitals.It is worth noting that they are pointed condition, according to the results of the research, which can cause the development of cervical cancer.The report of the warts that acts as an external manifestation of HPV has also received an official confirmation with an increased risk of breast cancer.

The type of warts that appear in the right sex depends on the variety of the virus that hit the female body.The warts on the face and other parts of the body can rise, both separately and in whole groups.It all depends on the general condition of the body.

Women's warts in women appear much more often than in men.This is mainly due to the anatomical characteristics.Therefore, various papillomas and warts in women can be located on the mucosa at the entrance of the vagina or on its walls, in the anus or urethra.

The reason for the active formation of warts on the fingers of the legs and arms, the face, the neck and other parts of the body in women can be a strong weakening of immunity in various diseases or hormonal insufficiency, for example, during pregnancy.If these neoplasms are on the body or genitals, only a doctor should determine the treatment tactics.Today you can remove the warts with a laser, electric shock, liquid nitrogen and some other methods selected on the basis of the patient's individual characteristics.

Warts in men

The body of the strongest sex representatives is less susceptible to the infections and the active propagation of the virus as a whole and the appearance of papillomas and warts in particular.Only a strong reduction in immunity caused by various diseases can cause the occurrence of benign formations on the skin and mucous membranes in men.It is worth noting that the papillomas and warts on the genitals in men can be located in the area of coronary furrows and bridle, sometimes the head or the body of the penis, on the coverage at the entrance of the urethra and directly on its mucous membranes, in the perianal region.

There are types of HPV, which, present in the body, significantly increase the risk of cancer.The most significant in this sense, HPV 16 and 18 are considered today.But it is noteworthy that in men they are extremely rare in men.This is due to the fact that on the genitals of the strongest sex there is no suitable environment for a long living room of the virus.

Warts in children

People of any age are subject to the appearance of warts.But very often there are warts in children and adolescents.The reason for this can be various papillomatosis viruses.The child's body infection usually occurs in contact.Children are more likely to communicate in close contact with other children in large groups and "capture" various viruses from each other easily.In addition, a child can be infected with a mother's papillomatic virus in the intrauterine or childbirth development process.

The warts on the hands and other parts of the body in children appear quite often due to the fact that the body of the child is more susceptible to various infections and in most cases reacts to them with a strong decrease in immunity.Very often, children have ordinary warts, flat and plans on the fingers, legs and brushes.Flat young warts, as a rule, pass by as they grow from the child to reach the age of 14-16.High and ordinary warts in children often appear due to injuries.Stopping warts can form when wearing uncomfortable shoes that cause irritation and damage to the skin.

Warts: causes of appearance

Many factors can contribute to the appearance of warts.The transfer of a papillomoso virus, as mentioned above, occurs closely with an infected person or his things.In addition, the vector of the virus that has no external manifestations can also act as a source of infection.Even selfinoculation or in other words, the car -extension is not excluded.Therefore, warts on the face and neck can appear after shaving and cosmetic peeling.The same goes for papillomas and warts on the legs, chin and armpits.Various damage to the skin increase only the risk of infecting the HPV.Often this happens in swimming pools, gyms and saunas.

The formation of warts is due to the uncontrolled division of the cells of the surface layers of the skin.As a rule, they do not disappear independently, therefore they require the removal more often in combination with the use of antiviral drugs and the general strengthening of the body.

Provocative factors

It is small in the probability that the virus that causes the formation of warts to penetrate a healthy person with a strong immunity.The risk of infection can increase:

• Damage on the skin and mucous membranes.If there is contact with the coverage of an infected person or an object, on the surface of which there is a virus, most likely, it will end with infection.The HPV can remain in the environment for about 2-3 hours.For this period of time, the probability that someone is infected with them is quite high.Injuries (wounds, cuts, scratches), sweating and, consequently, the constant humidity of the skin increases it alone.This is the reason why the appearance of the warts on the fingers of the hands and palms is often observed.In the cleaning process, work with food and solve any family problems to obtain slight injuries on the skin.Even in winter, the seasoned and dry skin on which the microocracks are formed become "gates" ideal for the penetration of the virus in the body.
• High humidity and heat.Such a provocative factor is more relevant for the appearance of the warts on the legs.Talking uncomfortable shoes, contributing to excessive sweating of the legs, the formation of seeds and damage on the skin, can cause epithelial formations such as the warts of the legs.
• Weakening of the immune system.Even with the presence of a virus in the body, the appearance of the warts is not always observed.A person can be a virus bearer for decades and not suspect it.With a strong immunity, the body constantly suppresses the virus, preventing it from race.As soon as the immune system weakens, the virus is immediately activated, which is accompanied by the occurrence of external events.Even after the removal of the warts with a laser or in any other method without strengthening immunity, almost with one hundred percent probability will appear again.The reasons for the fulfillment of the immune system can become lower nutrition, abuse of bad habits, constant stress, lack of sleep, etc.

Diagnosis of papillomavirus infection

An infectious disease, which is characterized by the appearance of warts, is often diagnosed with a range of methods.The characteristic papules and the leaflets of the papillomoso type can be different, they appear at any age on the skin or mucous membranes, accompany other symptoms of the disease or do not disturb the patient at all.This is the reason why the warts on the hands or other parts of the body are correctly diagnosed only as prescribed by the attending physician.An independent examination cannot only be useless, but also damage.The appearance of the warts is due to the human papillomatic virus.In addition, to date, more than 65 types of this pathogen are known, which causes the appearance of pappilolyomic papules and growths on the skin and mucous membranes.In 95% of cases, the doctor can make the diagnosis, taking into account the results of the physical examination and data of the patient's anamnesis (provided that the wart is visible to the naked eye).The clinical manifestations of the wart depend mainly on the place where it was formed.Each type of epithelial cancer described above has its individual characteristics.

• For a conventional wart, pronounced hyperkeratosis is a characteristic (high speed of the cell division of the corneous and descending layer).It can have the shape of a lump or dome -shaped papules.These warts appear mainly in those places where the risk of injuries to the fabrics has increased, that is, on the skin of arms, legs, elbows, etc.
• The flat warts have a flattened summit, they are small in their volumes and in diameter do not exceed the 3-4 mm indicator.If the wart is displayed in the area of the folds of the skin, its primary diagnosis can be difficult, because such papules or growths can manifest themselves as flat or ordinary warts.
• The warts on the sole of the feet can be accompanied by a symptom of pain, because these parts of the body are constantly subject to trauma.The center of this epithelial cancer can be slightly pressed.There are also frequent cases in which several warts on the sole merged into a single design, forming a specific model in the form of a mosaic.
• As for the threaded warts, such a problem may appear on the skin of the face.They grow quickly, because if they are detected, they try to remove them as a cosmetic defect.
• The warts can also be diagnosed in the oral cavity, there the formations are often represented by whitish or small pink nodules.This problem is found in extremely rare cases, as a rule, to the reception of a dentist or during a planned body exam.

To distinguish a wart, for example, from seeds, dishes, contagious or keratosis lichene (seborrheic type), the doctor will consider the fact that these epithelial formations have their own capillary network.Therefore, with mechanical damage to the wart (if you remove a small amount of stratum of keratinized peeling), start bleeding.During the diagnosis, the dermatologist will try to exclude syphilitic condition.Very often, in order to diagnose a wart, a specialist is quite visual inspection, but in 30-40% of all cases histological studies are needed.Additional tests are also prescribed if the therapy is ineffective.In the event that the wart is on the cervix, the colposcopy is performed.The infection can be detected thanks to a special method for studying scraping and smudging of the vagina.If atypical lesions or persistent pathologies are traced, the attending physician will most likely prescribe a biopsy with subsequent histological analysis.During the diagnosis of the patient's conditions, the doctor will take into account his age, the presence of chronic diseases and even concomitant symptoms.

Warts: treatment

Epithelial tumors in the form of warts are treated only under the rigorous control of the attending physician.Therapy cannot be general, because each individual case of appearance and development of the disease is individual.That's why it is inappropriate to use Dubbie medicines on the advice of friends, advertising or pharmacist in a pharmacy.

To date, there is no specific therapy aimed at human papillomavirus.This is why the treatment of warts aims to eliminate the symptoms of the viral injury.

There are some criteria that can serve as a basis for the treatment of warts:

• The area of lesion on the skin or mucous membranes has large dimensions.
• The patient is worried about serious itching, pain, burning, bleeding of warts.
• The patient wants to remove the wart (treatment at the patient's request).
• The wart brings cosmetic discomfort.
• Immunodeficiency in the patient.

If the patient is diagnosed with condition, this type of education necessarily needs well chosen therapy, since there is the risk of malignant degeneration.

Various methods of treatment of warts are known, each of which has its own characteristics.The effectiveness of all therapeutic methods is about 70%.

In 2019 the results of the work of the scientists of the Tashkent Pediatric Medical Institute were published.The aim of the study was to study the clinical efficacy of various methods for the treatment of warts in children.Consequently, it was possible to establish that the greatest clinical efficiency in the treatment of vulgar warts in children showed the use of a destructive method using carbon dioxide.

Remedy of warts: external therapy

The treatment of warts aims mainly to remove them.It can be carried out thanks to physical interventions or drugs.

External warts are treated completely.The doctor may prescribe cauterizing drugs and keratolytic agents.It can be a 10 % silver nitrate solution, a 50 % solution of lactic acid, etc.

The doctor may recommend funds from the warts in the form of antiviral medicines.

Cytotoxic drugs are also relevant.Assigned in the treatment of warts and all types of patches with salicylic acid (40%).

The physical destruction of the warts can be performed due to liquid nitrogen and electrocoagulation.The chemical destruction of the tissues can be carried out using salicylic acid, sodium solution, etc.

Immunotherapy is also used.After removing the wart, the doctor may prescribe anti -inflammatory drugs.

The removal of warts at home is prohibited

Traditional medicine, according to the majority, can deal with many diseases safely.But this opinion is incorrect, because the decoctions, the infusions and all types of compressions from essential oils and herbs can only play an auxiliary role and in any case it should not be used as the main type of therapy.It is also important to know that not a single prescription of traditional medicine should be used without the prescription of a doctor.This doubtful therapy can aggravate the course of the disease and also cause the development of new pathologies.

In combination with a pharmacological effect, a frequency specialist can prescribe recipes for alternative medicine with calandins, mountain ash fruit, wormwood, onions, linen oil, milking, etc.

The removal of warts at home is not performed.Education cannot be cut with sharp, pierced and cauterized objects.Only a competent doctor, after diagnosing the patient's condition, can prescribe adequate and safe therapy.Be careful and do not engage in car -marization.

Removal of laser warts and other methods

Modern medicine uses different surgical methods aimed at removing warts.

• Electrocoagulation is one of the most proven methods suitable for removing different warts.Manipulation is carried out under local anesthesia using a coagulator.The high frequency current that enters the steel cycle helps to thinly cut the epithelial formation and prevent bleeding occurrence during the operation and after its conduct.After electrocoagulation, a specific crust is formed on the warts site, which should be removed independently about 5-6 days after the procedure.In the place where the wart was located, a scar could remain, if a removal of the Deep was performed.
• The wave is surgically prescribed for extensive skin injuries.The manipulation is performed under local anesthesia with the subsequent imposition of cosmetic seams, which are removed in about 1 week.A light scar can remain.The doctor will direct remote epithelial education to an histological examination.
• The removal of warts with a laser is the most recent treatment method.The effect of this manipulation can be presented in the form of evaporation or coagulation of skin cells.Modern technologies are universally used in dermatology, they are considered the safest in several cases, they practically do not leave scars.The removal of warts with a laser is quickly and absolutely painless, because the procedure is performed under local anesthesia.After removing the wart, a small recreation could remain, which will disappear after 12-20 days.

Many medical and clinical centers offer laser removal today.

The cost of this procedure can be different and depends on numerous factors, including the level of a medical institution and the type of equipment used.

Remove the warts and with low temperatures.The deep freezing of the fabrics leads to their death.In this way, the cryodestrection is carried out with liquid nitrogen.

This removal of the warts is carried out using a cryopitator or a wand of an AMPON with a cotton wool buffer.In any case, the procedure is effective and is performed in a few minutes.

An applicator is applied to the wart (perpendicular) and slightly pressed on it.The time for which epithelial cancer can freeze mainly depends on its size.As a rule, freezing requires 7 to 35 seconds.

At the time when freezing with liquid nitrogen occurs, Verruca begins externally to palpate.Acquire greater density.Immediately through (60 seconds) after the procedure, a frozen wart becomes edematous, the tissues can be blushed.In addition, the wart is converted into an epidermal bubble, which can be filled with serous or hemorrhoids.Such a formation of bubbles on a wart is gradually reduced and after about a week it turns into a crust, which is torn after another 10-15 days.If the patient adheres to all the doctor's recommendations, the healing process will pass painless, without complications and only a clearly evident rosé point will remain on the warts site.You cannot forcefully remove the crust or detonate the formed bubble.A specialist who has carried out a wart removal will tell you how to take care of a damaged area.In the event that a liquid nitrogen is removed on the foot, the procedure will be more large and will require about 30-60 seconds.

Youth warts on fingers, legs and other parts of the body are often treated with nitrogen.But the procedure is performed by stewing problematic skin areas.Therefore, the epithelial formations treated with dark at low temperature, peel and disappear.

It is important to know that any removal of warts is not a guarantee that the problem is no longer.The probability of re -Education depends on numerous factors, including the patient's immune system.According to statistics, the impact occurs after 3-4 months more than 20% of patients.That's why many doctors, together with the surgical removal of warts, prescribe controversial general therapy.

Prevention of warts

In order to protect yourself at least a little from a viral infection and reduce the risks of the appearance of warts on the body, the doctors mainly advise to conduct a healthy lifestyle.It is necessary to constantly keep immunity constantly, which loses its protective functions due to constant nervous extension, lack of sleep, malnutrition and even a lack of vitamins.

Doctors recommend:

• Refuse random sexual relationships.It is recommended to have a permanent and healthy partner.
• Adhere to the rules of personal hygiene.Do not use someone else's towel, go to a public bathroom without their interchangeable shoes, etc.
• Process damage correctly on the skin.

It is also important to eat correctly, lead an active lifestyle, get rid of bad habits, sprinkle, less nervous, because all these factors negatively influence the immune system.
