Almost all of us in our lives came across warts - goblet growth that affect the hands, fingers and feet of the legs, armpits and some other parts of the body.As a rule, the cause of these benign neoplasms is the human papillomavirus (HPV), which affects every second resident of the planet.
What do you need to know about HPV?
The HPV today understands a whole group of viruses (more than 100) that have settled in tissues and media of the human body from time to time, in the form of ordinary, flat, pointed warts (actually warts).HPVs are most frequently transmitted by contact with the skin of the infected, by towels, common clothing and sexually.Such a virus can easily be picked up in a bath house, a pool sauna, a changing room for a fitness club and other public places with high humidity and dubious sanitary conditions.After the virus has penetrated the body, it has a root forever and unfortunately does not give in to reduce holy healing.
In addition, several dozens of HPV strains can live in the body of a carrier.In the presence of severe immunity and the lack of chronic diseases, the papilloma virus can be in a napty state without showing itself.When weakening the protective functions of the body, however, HPV can declare itself in the format of neoplasms that increase body temperature and general disease.
The so -called plantar starks, which appear in the zone of greatest friction during walking on their feet, are most referred to as problems.Such warts are gray-callus-like seals that are extremely painful when walking.Genital warts are also extremely uncomfortable, the removal of which is quite problematic due to the thin skin in the zone of their localization.
Special antiviral drugs and immunotherapy are used today for the treatment of HPV, although, as we have already noted, it is not possible to get rid of viruses forever.
Medical methods for removing warts
In modern dermatology, several successful techniques are used to remove neoplasia in the form of warts:
- Cryodestruction.Burning a benign neoplasm with liquid nitrogen.Only a few procedures are enough to completely remove the wart.The process is quite painful because frozen nitrogen contacts the skin with a temperature of 196 degrees Celsius.From the defects of the methodology, we find that the difficulty of monitoring the frost level during cauterization, as well as the possibility of occurring a scar on the place of a remote wart.
- Burn with a laser.Removing the growth of the layer is carried out using local anesthesia with medical lasers.This method is the least traumatic, so there is usually no cosmetic defects at the place of the wart.
- Electrical clearing.The methodology is based on the effect on the affected skin area with a high frequency current.With deep burning of the roots of the warts after healing the wound, a scar can occur.
- Operative removal.It is used quite rarely, usually with a deep arrangement of the roots of growth.After removing the wart body, the surgeon imposes the seams according to which the removal of the visible scar remains.The innovative option is the so-called radio wave surgery, in which a wart with high frequency radio waves (3.8-4.0 MHz) is removed.
Burn at home
You can delete conventional wart at home.Cosmetic treatment connections based on natural Celandin or active alkali are most commonly used for these purposes.
Before removing the wart to protect healthy skin, a thin layer of children's cream or oil jelly should be applied directly near the affected area.Now you can start burning directly.To do this, apply a small drop of the composition directly on the wart and wait for the complete drying.You have to repeat a similar procedure once a day for several days.During such treatment, the wart becomes a peeling and then completely disappear and leave a small pigment place that will disappear after a while.
With this method for removing warts and pointed papillomas, you should be extremely careful.The concentrated alkali contained in such compositions is extremely aggressive.Therefore, with the incorrect calculation of the volume of a single dose, the procedure can leave a deep chemical combustion during an incineration session, which gets and heals for a long time.The appearance of scars or scars with such mistakes is inevitable.
Home cryotherapy and therapeutic patch
With the help of modern drugs based on a special cooling mix, you can try to get rid of Warty nodes.The temperature of such a liquid is 50-55 degrees Celsius.With strict adherence to the instructions, the manufacturers guarantee growth in 10 to 14 days.
However, such drugs cannot guarantee you a therapeutic effect.Usually they only show a good result in the fight against small individual warts.Special plasters or medical pens that are soaked in salicyl or lactic acids have proven to be well proven.Such a treatment course can lead up to one and a half to two months.
Nobody will give guarantees
Despite the broad list of means and methods provided to remove warts and papillomas caused by HPV, not a single specialist will carry out a complete healing and a lack of relapses in the future.Unfortunately, the likelihood of secondary appearance of such growth is quite high.It is about the deep arrangement of virus structures in the skin and in the wrong choice of therapeutic techniques.
In order to protect yourself as far as possible from relapses, it is necessary to constantly maintain your immune system, to take vitamin complexes, to avoid hand shakes with unknown people, to monitor the integrity of the skin (wear gloves or protective gloves in production), avoid tight shoes and the occurrence of corn on the feet.
Precautionary measures
After deciding to remove Papilloma, be sure to contact a surgeon or a dermatologist.After all, it is possible that you can confuse and accept ordinary nevus or capillary hemangioms for a flat wart.And burning the Nevus can lead to sad consequences to the appearance of cancer.
The advice with a specialist, the submission of the necessary tests and then removing growth in the clinic can avoid risks and maintain your health.
