It is well known that various neoplasms on the skin in many cases are caused by human papillomavirus.Today, more than 600 strains of this pathogen have been identified.Some cause warts, others - wart, others can cause a malignant tumor.Therefore, before removing the neoplasm in a beauty salon, you should undergo a dermatologist.
The reasons for papillomas arise
It is believed that the human papillomavirus is infected up to 70% of the total population of the planet.Often, according to the results of the analysis, it is clear that a person is immediately infected with 20 strains of the virus.But often the virus does not show up for a long time, especially if one has good immunity.
The infection from one of the strains of HPV is more common with direct contact with the virus carrier, in which the pathogen can penetrate the microtrauma on the skin and mucous membranes.The neoplasm is formed directly at the site of penetration of the virus into the body.The anogenital form of the disease is transmitted during sexual intercourse, in which case the papules are formed in the folds of the skin of the crotch, on the mucous membranes of the vagina and cervix, in the rectum, urethra and bladder and in the men on the head of the penis.Outside, mainly pointed warts are formed, and in the internal organs - flat papillomas.Similarly, the oral cavity can be infected.In this case, laryngeal papillomatosis occurs affecting the mucous membranes of the mouth and throat.
The newborn can be infected with HPV from a mother during passing through the birth channel.At the same time, anogenital papillomatosis occurs in a child, whose strain is the most aggressive or laryngeal, which can significantly harm the voice apparatus of the child in the future and can even endanger life in severe cases due to the obstacle of the respiratory tract.
However, to infect HPV, you do not need to contact the carrier directly.The virus can exist for some time outside the carrier's body and be transmitted through household items or in public places.Simply put, sometimes it is enough to hold on to the railing in public transport and then touch the face so that a neoplasm appears in a year or two.
As the incubation period of papillomavirus is quite long, from the moment of infection to the onset of clinical signs, it can take several months or even years.Usually the virus is activated and begins to manifest itself in the form of neoplasms when the immunity is reduced.Therefore, treatment should include not only the elimination of visible HPV manifestations, but also systemic immune therapy.
Types of neoplasms caused by HPV
Not all clinical manifestations of papillomatosis are the same.Today about 90 hpThe strains are typified and connected and correlates with certain types of neoplasms.According to the external manifestations of the disease, the following types of papillomas are distinguished:
- Plantar papillomas, often called warts;
- simple or vulgar papillomas;
- flat papillomas;
- spicy warts;
- Film papillomas.
Sub -warts
As the name implies, plantar warts are formed on the skin of the feet and are characterized by internal growth, which distinguishes them from other types of neoplasms.They are usually single, but in the absence of treatment, they can reach impressive sizes, causing significant discomfort.
Vulgar papillomas
Vulgar papillomas are also often called warts in everyday life.They grow from a small tube, gradually increase and darken due to keratinization, can merge with each other in an uncertain form.Papillomas of this type are most often localized on the skin of the hands, less and less knees, face, neck, back.Like plantar, they can be conducted on their own.
Flat papillomas
Flat papillomas rise just above the skin and their surface has a nodular structure.These neoplasms are not susceptible to keratinization (keratinization) on the surface, so they usually retain the color of healthy tissues or become slightly darker.They can appear on the face in the eye and chin, as well as on the lower leg, arms, back.Itching becomes a common symptom of vulgar papillomas.Such neoplasms themselves do not pass and the doctor should make an accurate diagnosis.
Acute wart
The acute warts in appearance are similar to cauliflower.The single neoplasms grow on a thin leg, gradually mergeing with each other into large growths.Condilomas are located in the anogenital area:
- on external and internal genital organs;
- Outside and inside the anus;
- in the perianal fold;
- In the urethra and bladder.
These neoplasms are precancerous and are therefore subject to mandatory removal with subsequent therapy according to the results of the tests.Suffice it to say that in the case of cervical cancer, in almost 80% of cases, human papillomavirus of this type reveals.
Film papillomas
Film papillomas, called otherwise acrochea, grow on a thin leg, which is why they are easy to tear and are mainly single, rarely found in groups.Their main locations for localization are the face in the eyes and nose, the inguinal folds, the axillary areas and under the breasts of women.They usually have an elongated, elastic form without keratinization.With rubbing, clothing can cause discomfort and damage.Akrocors mainly cause aesthetic discomfort and are subjected to malignancy in rare cases.
Papillomas
As much as you want to get rid of the boring papilloma faster and at home and even better -with the help of some folk remedies, do not rush!Independent selection of procedures can lead to deplorable results.Be sure to visit the district clinic.
In a paid clinic for your money, they will cut you/burn/freeze something without unnecessary questions, but there is no guarantee to make an accurate diagnosis and therefore the lack of unwanted consequences.
Only a qualified specialist can make an accurate diagnosis and prescribe appropriate treatment.Be sure to hand over the tests prescribed by your doctor before getting rid of neoplasms.First of all, you need to get a consultation:
- gynecologist or urologist when neoplasms appear in the perineum;
- otolaryngologist in case of suspicion of papillomatosis of the mucosa or throat;
- Dermatologist - in all other cases.
Based on the results of the clinical examination, the doctor may prescribe, if necessary:
- Cytological test cells;
- tissue fence for histology;
- scraping for PCR analysis;
- Material fence for dike-test.
All these methods in one way or another allow you to determine the risk of developing oncopathology.After removing neoplasms by each method, this indicator will be impossible to determine.In this case, the likelihood of adverse effects increases.
Ways to remove papillomas
The choice of the method for removing papillomas will depend on the diagnosis and location of neoplasms.
Chemical destruction
It is performed with the help of special liquid medicines based on acid or creams containing alkali.Such medicines are sold at a pharmacy as a doctor.
This method can be used to remove only single vulgar papillomas (warts) on the hands.
However, the smallest inaccuracy when using chemotherapy can lead to the burning of healthy tissues or incomplete removal of the neoplasm.The use of such tools is painful, requires a lot of time, does not produce a guaranteed result and can lead to the formation of aesthetic marks at the site of the neoplasm.
Cobbled
A long and well -established method of removing neoplasms using exposure to extremely low temperatures, in which the lesion works for a short time with liquid nitrogen or other refrigerant.
The refrigerant appliance does not require preliminary anesthesia as the application is painless, although the patient may feel a slight tingling or burning.However, after the surgery, during the "thawing" of the tissues, there is acute pain that can last up to one day.This is a normal phenomenon.
After a few hours, redness and swelling are formed around the damage and after a day a subcutaneous balloon is formed, full of fluid.The rehabilitation period lasts a week, for which edema disappears and hyperemia and the balloon breaks down on its own.It is then necessary to administer an antiseptic medicine prescribed by a specialist.
The death of the tissues under the flow lasts for three weeks, which ensures reliable destruction of the infected tissues.The healing of the wound occurs after 1.5 months and the track completely disappears for six months, during which it is necessary to protect the skin from the sun and mechanical exposure.
The method is successfully used to remove papillomas on the body, in the oral cavity and to treat the cervix.But to remove the neoplasms of the face and in an intimate area, it is better to use another method.In the first case - due to edema and hyperemia, in the second - due to increased sensitivity to the pain of the genital area.
Coagulation of the radio wave
Removal with radiooplasms occurs under the influence of directed high -frequency radiation, in which the affected tissue evaporates.The radiation therapy device has several electrodes of different shapes and purposes that the doctor chooses depending on the form of the neoplasm.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia in the form of an injection.With this method, papillomas are quickly removed, without damage to healthy tissues, they almost leave no traces.There is no rehabilitation period here, but there are many contraindications to the use of this method.Radio -note is contraindicated in:
- exacerbation of chronic diseases;
- acute inflammatory processes;
- Diabetes sugar;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- the presence of a pacemaker;
- Oncological diseases of any localization.
You cannot use radio wave treatment if there is a possibility of malignant papillomas.But in the absence of such, the method is successfully used in every part of the body.According to patients, an anesthetic injection is most uncomfortable in this procedure.
Laser coagulation
The modern contactless way to eliminate neoplasms with the help of a laser is widespread not so long ago.Experts claim that it is absolutely painless and low -traumatic as infected tissues evaporate without damaging healthy.The procedure takes a few minutes, and the rehabilitation period lasts 2 weeks, during which you should refrain from swimming in the pool and open tanks, avoid changes in temperature and sun.
The method can cause side effects in the form of prolonged redness of the skin and edema, with thyroid problems, keloid scars may form.There are many contraindications for this type of treatment:
- Diabetes sugar;
- acute inflammatory processes;
- epilepsy;
- disorders of the endocrine and immune systems;
- photodermatosis;
- thrombocytopenia and others.
According to patients, the procedure is very unpleasant and painful, and in the process there is an odor of burned meat."In addition, healing goes for a long time and relapses are possible.
Electrocoagulation
It is used to remove small papillomas.As the essence of the method is in the thermal destruction of the affected tissue, humans are the name "cauterization".The heated electrode touches the neoplasm and performs coagulation along with the vessels, resulting in a burning point that is covered with a dark bark within an hour.In the case of single papillomas, local anesthesia is used and with many small neoplasms is inappropriate.
The rehabilitation period lasts about a week, for which redness and swelling pass, and the dark crusts are dropped.At this time, it is recommended to take care of the sun and treat the skin with an antiseptic.
The use of this method is possible for any localization of neoplasms, and patient examinations indicate its reliability.At a very democratic price to remove a papilloma, the removal of multiple neoplasms will cost a penny.
