It is known that different neoplasms in the skin in many cases are caused by human papillomavirus.More than 600 strains of this pathogen have been identified today.Some cause warts, others - Condyl, others can cause a malignant tumor.This is why, before removing the neoplasm in a cosmetic salon, you must undergo an examination by a dermatologist.
The causes of papillomas occur
It is believed that human papillomavirus is infected up to 70% of the total population of the planet.Often, according to the results of the analysis, it becomes clear that a person is immediately infected with 20 strains of the virus.But often the virus does not show itself for a long time, especially if a person has good immunity.
Infection from any of the HPV strains most often occurs by direct contact with the virus carrier, in which the pathogen can penetrate the microtrauma into the skin and the mucosa.The neoplasm is formed directly at the site of the virus penetration into the body.The anogenital form of the disease is transmitted during sexual intercourse, in this case, the papules form in the turning skin folds, the mucous membranes of the vagina and the cervix, the rectum, the urethra and the bladder, and the men over the penis head.Outside, pronounced air conditioners are mainly formed, and in the internal organs - flat papillomas.In a similar way, the oral cavity can be infected.In this case, laryngeal papillomatosis occurs, affecting the mucous membranes of the mouth and throat.
A newborn can be infected with HPV by a mother while passing through the birth canal.At the same time, an anogenital papillomatosis often occurs in a child whose strain is more aggressive, or larynx, which can significantly damage the child's voice in the future and may even threaten life in severe cases due to the obstruction of the respiratory tract.
However, to infect HPV, it is not necessary to contact the carrier directly.The virus may 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 the harness in public transport, and then touch the face so that a neoplasm in this country appears in one year or two.
Since the papillomavirus incubation period is long enough, from the moment of infection to the appearance of clinical signs, several months or even years can pass.Usually the virus is activated and begins to manifest in the form of neoplasms when immunity decreases.This is why treatment should include not only the removal of apparent 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 HPV strains are suppressed and connected and associated with certain types of neoplasms.According to external manifestations of the disease, the following types of papillomas are distinguished:
- Planar papilloma, often called warts;
- simple, or vulgar, papilloma;
- flat papillomas;
- spicy condyloma;
- Film papillomas.
Subanar warts
As the name implies, planar warts are formed on the skin of the feet and are characterized by internal growth, which distinguishes them from other types of neoplasms.Usually they are single, but in the absence of treatment, they can reach impressive size, causing considerable discomfort.
Vulgar papilloma
Vulgar papillomas are often called warts in everyday life.They grow from a small tuberculosis, gradually increasing and darkening due to keratinization, can join one another in an unsafe form.Papillomas of this type are most often localized on the skin of the hands, less often on the knees, face, neck, spine.Like planar ones, they can develop themselves.
Flat papillomas
Flat papillomas rise slightly above the skin, and their surface has a nodular structure.These neoplasms are not sensitive to keratinization of the surface, so they usually maintain the color of healthy tissue or become a little darker.They can appear on the face in the eyes and on the chin, as well as on the lower leg, arms, back.Itching becomes a frequent symptom of vulgar papillomas.Such neoplasms themselves do not pass, and the doctor should make an accurate diagnosis.
air conditioner
The sharp air conditioning in appearance are similar to cauliflower.Single neoplasms grow on a thin leg, gradually joining each other growing large.Condilomas localize to the anogenital region:
- in the external and internal genitals;
- Outside and inside the anus;
- in perianal folding;
- In the urethra and bladder.
These neoplasms are precancerous, and therefore subject to mandatory removal with subsequent therapy according to the test results.Suffice it to say that with cervical cancer in almost 80% of cases, it detects human papillomavirus of this kind.
Papilloma
Film papillomas, otherwise called acrochics, grow on a thin leg, which is why they are easy to remove them, and are mostly single, rarely found in groups.Their main locations of localization are faces in the eyes and noses, inguinal folds, axillary areas and under the breast of women.Usually they have an elongated elastic shape without keratinization.With friction, coating can cause discomfort and damage.Acrochords cause mainly aesthetic discomfort and are subject to malignancy in rare cases.
Diagnosis of papillomas
No matter how much you want to get rid of the boring papilloma faster and at home, and even better - with the help of some popular remedies, don't rush!An 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 anything without unnecessary questions, but there is no guarantee to make an accurate diagnosis, and therefore lack of undesirable consequences.
Only a qualified specialist can make an accurate diagnosis and prescribe proper treatment.Make sure you submit 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 inspection, the doctor may prescribe if necessary:
- Cells for cytological research;
- tissue fence for histology;
- Scraping for PCR analysis;
- Digi test material fence.
All of these methods in one way or another allow you to determine the risk of developing oncopathology.After removing neoplasms by any method, this indicator will be impossible to determine.In this case, the likelihood of adverse consequences increases.
Ways to remove papillomas
The choice of papillomas removal method will depend on the diagnosis and localization of neoplasms.
Chemical destruction
It is performed using special liquid medicines based on acid or alkali -containing creams.Such drugs are sold at a pharmacy as a doctor.
This method can be used to remove only single vulgar papillomas in the hands.
However, the slightest inaccuracy in using chemotherapy can lead to a burning of healthy tissue or incomplete removal of the neoplasm.The use of such tools is painful, takes a long time, does not give a guaranteed result and can lead to the formation of unesthetic wounds at the site of neoplasm.
Cryodestration
A long and well -created method of removing neoplasms using exposure to extremely low temperatures, in which the loss for a short time acts with liquid nitrogen or other coolant.
The coolant device does not require prior anesthesia because the application is painless, although the patient may feel a tingling or burning sensation.However, after surgery, during "freezing" of fabrics, acute pain appears, which can last up to one day.This is a normal phenomenon.
After a few hours, the redness and swelling form around the damage, and a subcutaneous bubble filled with fluid is formed after a day.The rehabilitation period lasts a week, for which edema and hyperemia disappear, and the bubble breaks on its own.After that, it is necessary to apply an antiseptic drug prescribed by a specialist.
The death of the fabric under the flow continues for three weeks, which ensures reliable destruction of infected tissue.Wound healing occurs in 1.5 months, and completely the trail disappears over 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 in the body, oral cavity and cervical treatment.But to remove neoplasms on the face and in an intimate area, it is best to use another method.In the first case - due to edema and hyperemia, in the second - due to increased sensitivity of genital area pain.
Coagulation of radio wave
Removal with the rotating neoplasms on the radio occurs under the influence of a high -frequency directed radiation, in which the affected tissues evaporate.The radiotherapy device has several electrodes of different shapes and purposes, which the doctor chooses depending on the shape of the neoplasm.
The procedure takes place under local anesthesia in the form of an injection.With this method, papillomas are quickly removed, without damaging healthy tissue, almost leaving no trace.There is no rehabilitation period here, but there are many contraindications for the use of this method.Radio -Nota is contraindicated in:
- irritation of chronic diseases;
- acute inflammatory processes;
- diabetes mellitus;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- the presence of a cardiac;
- Oncological diseases of any localization.
You cannot use radio wave treatment if there is a possibility of malignant papillomas.But in such absence, the method is used successfully in any part of the body.According to patients, the most unpleasant in this procedure is an injection of anesthesia.
Laser coagulation
A modern contact without contact to remove neoplasms using a laser is widespread not long ago.Experts claim that it is absolutely painless and low -traumatic because infected tissue evaporates 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 reservoirs, avoid changes in temperature and sun.
The method can cause side effects in the form of prolonged rash and edema, with thyroid problems, keloid wounds can form.There are many contraindications for this type of treatment:
- diabetes mellitus;
- acute inflammatory processes;
- epilepsy;
- violations of endocrine and immune systems;
- photodermatosis;
- Thrombocytopenia and others.
According to patients, the procedure is very unpleasant and painful, and in the process there is a smell of burnt meat."In addition, healing goes long and relapses are possible.
Electrocoagulation
Used to remove small papillomas.Since the essence of the method lies in the thermal destruction of the affected fabric, people are the name "cauterization".The heated electrode affects the neoplasm and performs that coagulation along with the dishes, as a result of which a point combustion is formed, which is covered with a dark crust within an hour.In the case of single papillomas, local anesthesia is used, and with multiple small neoplasms is inappropriate.
The rehabilitation period lasts about a week, for which the passage of redness and swelling, and dark crusts fall.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 reviews indicate its reliability.At a very democratic price for removing a papilloma, the removal of numerous neoplasms will cost a penny.
