wart

Warts occur on the human body due to an infection with one of the types of papilloma virus transmitted as a result of contact: handshake, barefoot in common parts, swimming in the pool using a common shower) also when using household items.Warts can be from 1 mm to 15 mm, it depends on their place of formation, type.Warts can form large tumors with hemispherical or conical shape.Over time, their color changes.Initially, the color of the warts coincides with the color of the skin, after which they turn brown, less black, to a greater extent such color is acquired due to dirt, which is easily applied to the uneven surface of the wart.The wart incubation period is at least 5-6 weeks to 5-6 months.To become infected with the ordinary contact of the virus, it is not enough, you also need several ejection factors, which include increased sweating of the hands and feet, microtraumas on the skin, immunodeficiency.

Types of warts:

Among the warts there are 4 main types: simple (or ordinary), flat, pointed warts and senile warts.

  • Simple warts are keratinized papules with a diameter of 1 to 10 mm.Most often they are formed on the back of the hands.This type of warts go through within two years and do not require any treatment.
  • The object of warts - they are also ordinary and appear on the feet at pressure pressure places due to blurred legs.Initially, a small wart with a characteristic shine, then turned into a keratinized papule or plaque with a yellowish-gray color, its surface rough and uneven.Such a wart is usually single, but it happens 3-6 or more.The most painful sensations are the most painful, keratinized, gray-mudas, pierce warts.In rare cases, this type of warts can cause damage.
  • Flat (youth warts) clearly distinguished papules with a smooth surface, their diameter is 1 to 5 mm, protruding 1-2 mm above the skin.Such warts occur mainly in children and young people.Flat warts look like a round or irregular shape of flat knots, which are located on the back of the arms, legs, and on the skin of the face.The color is light brown, pink or body.The appearance of flat warts leads to skin irritation (scratches, cuts, etc.) appear.
  • Acute warts (warts) are very small pink flowering skin growths that lead to papillary growth of a soft consistency of body or red.This type of wart appears on the genitals in men and women.The disease is transmitted through sexual contact, especially when there are microtraumas (or cracks) of the genitals.If you do not get rid of them, they can grow large in size and cause serious harm to human health.Conadillomes lead to the development of other infectious diseases on the genitals.According to statistics, women are more likely to develop cervical cancer are more affected by their appearance.
  • Senior warts (keratomas, seborrheic keratosis, seborrheic wart, basal papilloma) - a benign tumor.It is clear from the name that this type of warts appear in the elderly.Their reasons are not clear, but it is believed that they develop from the cells of the basal layer of the epidermis, on the more surface of the hair follicle.Symptoms of seborrheic keratosis are most often manifested on the chest, rarely on the face, neck, arms, surface of the forearm.A person's palm trees and feet are exceptions.Such a wart does not affect the mucous membranes, they are usually not more than 20, their size is from 0.3 to 3.5 cm, less often reaches 4.5-5 cm.

Wart

The reasons for the warts

The main cause of warts is HPV (human papillomavirus).The most common way to infect the virus is direct contact, such as a handshake with a person who has warts in the hands.You can also get infected with a VPV virus from touching infected objects such as railings in public transport, towels, nail tracks, manicure scissors, etc.HPV virus penetrates a person due to skin damage: cracks, scratches, skin irritation and cutting.One of the types of warts is transmitted during sexual contact - these are witty warts.According to statistics, more than 80% of people are carriers of the HPV virus and do not suspect it.HPV can be absolutely asymptomatic.Includes reasons:

  • Nervous disorder or stress
  • Immune system
  • Body hypothermia
  • Sits sweating
  • Wearing synthetic clothes, tight shoes, and artificial shoes
  • Microtraum (wounded during shaving)

Without taking measures to treat warts at a time, one can infect the whole body with "colonies" of warts.So, as we already know with you, the reason for the appearance of warts is human papillomavirus (HPV), which are infected with more than 80% of humans on Earth and any infected person can have several types of viruses at the same time and without guessing this because of his asymptomatic current.Each year, the provision of HPV virus in the countries is increasing continuously.More often, the infection is performed with direct contact with the skin and mucous membranes, and more often the infection can occur through everyday elements (nail files, scissors, etc.))

Warts

Now that we have learned what the warts are, how they are manifested and what the reasons for their appearance, we will try to understand the ways of treating them with medical and folk remedies.

General principles for the treatment of warts

Today, there is no such method of treating warts that completely eliminates their cause (human papillomavirus (HPV)).The appearance of warts can again occur after any of the removal methods.The likelihood of relapse is the same after every treatment method and is 25% - 40%.Most wart removal methods leave traces on the human body - scars and scars.At the same time, we see a frequent sequence: the more effective the removal method, the greater the likelihood of scars and scars.Warts can behave absolutely unpredictable: they pass independently without treatment, but they may not go after the most effective treatments.In adults and in people with low immunity, as well as a long course of warts, their own warts rarely go alone.First you need to try safe treatment methods.Then, if you do not see the effect, then you should switch to more aggressive treatment.It is better not to start the treatment of warts by laser removal, since in this method of treatment the highest risk of scars and the likelihood of relapse is not reduced.

Medical ways to get rid of warts.

When warts appear, the most common solution will be to consult a dermatologist who will choose medicines to increase immunity and soothing nerves.In addition, the doctor will properly choose a way to get rid of warts.These methods include:

  • Crossing (freezing warts with liquid nitrogen).On a wart with a uniform layer using a swab mounted on a wooden stick or special medical cryo-osholkov, liquid nitrogen is applied, thus freezing the wart within 15-40 seconds.Then the wart changes the color of the white and becomes thick, then within an hour a balloon is formed in its place, which lasts 4-8 days and then gradually dries.The crust completely leaves after one and a half to two weeks, leaving a light pink spot.For plantar warts, you need a longer course of several cryoprocesses with an interval of 2-3 days.
  • Electrocoagulation (removal of wart using electricity).Under the high frequency current, the wart is "cut" with a thin metal outline, this helps to avoid bleeding as well as disinfects the tissue.At the same time, the doctor will have material to check it for oncology.The operation is performed under local anesthesia.After exposure to the current, a thin crust appears, which disappears after 5-7 days (so that there is no scar, it is better not to wet it).
  • Laserocoagulation (removal of laser wart).The wart removes layer by layer using a laser under local anesthesia.After the procedure at the point where the wart was a small indentation that equalized independently after 3-4 weeks.If we are talking about the plantar wart, you should keep in mind that in 3-4 weeks you will have to walk as little as possible.
  • Surgical cutting of warts.The method is only used if the warts are very large (or there are several united warts in one).All unnecessary is cut with scalpel and are sure to be sent for research.The procedure is performed under local anesthesia.The skin is sewn with a cosmetic seam, after which it will remain a thin light scar.
  • Chemical methods.They mean a single or course processing of warts with caustic acid or alkali.At the same time, it is more likely that the tissue will be damaged around the wart or, even worse, to bring infection.This is a very painful method of removing warts.The exception is only the treatment of salicylic acid.It can be purchased at any pharmacy in liquid form, such as ointment or as a special patch.For some types of warts, this helps quite well.The main thing is to remember that you just have to remove the wart, not with the skin it has appeared on - that is, you have to lubricate or seal only the wart itself.
