Almost every one of us at least in our lives we find warts - growth that affects the hands, fingers and feet, armpits and some other parts of the body.As a rule, the cause of this benign neoplasm is the human papillomavirus (HPV), which affects every second population on the planet.
What do you need to know about HPV?
HPV today understands the entire group of viruses (over 100), which settles in the tissues and media of the human body, from time to time can appear in the form of normal, flat, sharp (in fact, warts).HPVs are most often spread through contact with infected skin, through towels, ordinary clothing, and sexual.Such viruses can easily be invited to bathrooms, swimming pools, locker rooms for fitness clubs and other public places with high humidity and dubious hygiene conditions.After penetrating the body, the virus is rooted and, unfortunately, does not heal.
In addition, in the body of one carrier, several dozens of HPV strains can live at the same time.With the presence of severe immunity and the absence of chronic diseases, the papilloma virus can be in a state of sleep, without showing itself.However, in the case of weakening the body's protective function, HPV can declare itself in neoplasm format, increase body temperature, general disease.
The so -called plantar warts appear in the foot in the largest friction zone while walking most of the most problems.Such warts are seals like gray-like calves that are very painful during walking.The genital warts are also very unpleasant, the removal is quite problematic because of the thin skin in their localization zone.
For HPV treatment, special antiviral medicines are used today, as well as immunotherapy, though, as we have noticed, it is not possible to get rid of the virus that has been acquired for today.
Medical method to remove warts
In modern dermatology, several successful techniques are used to eliminate neoplasms in the form of warts:
- Cryodestruction.Burn a benign neoplasm with liquid nitrogen.Only a few procedures are enough to remove the warts completely.This procedure is a bit painful, as frozen nitrogen connects the skin at a temperature in - 196 degrees Celsius.From the deficiency of the methodology, we see the difficulty of monitoring the current frost levels, as well as the possible appearance of scars on the site of the warts.
- Burns with laser.The removal of the growth layer is done using local anesthesia with medical lasers.This method is most traumatic, therefore, cosmetic defects at the site of the wart, as a rule, do not arise.
- Electrocoagulation.This methodology is based on the effects of the affected area of the skin with high frequency current.By burning the warts after healing the wound, the scars may occur.
- Surgical removal.It is used quite rarely, usually with the arrangement of deep growth roots.After the isolation of the body of the warts, the surgeon charges seams, after removal of the scars.Innovative options are called radio waves surgery, which involves removal of warts using high frequency radio waves (3.8-4.0 MHz).
Burns at home
You can delete conventional warts at home.For this purpose, cosmetic treatment compounds made based on natural celandine or active alkali are most commonly used.
Before removing warts to protect healthy skin, a thin layer of children's cream or petroleum jelly should be used directly near the affected area.Now you can start burning directly.To do this, use a small drop of composition directly on the wart and wait for the full drying.You need to repeat the same procedure 1-2 times a day for several days.In the process of such treatment, the warts will peel off, and then disappear completely, leaving a small pigmentary place, which will disappear after a while.
By using this method to remove sharp warts and papillomas, you should be very careful.The concentrated alkaline contained in such compositions is very aggressive, therefore, with the wrong calculation of a single dose during the combustion session, the procedure can leave a deep chemical burning, which will be wet and healed for a long time.The appearance of scars or scars with such errors is inevitable.
Home cryotherapy and therapeutic patch
You can try to get rid of the warty node with the help of modern medicine, which is based on a special cooling mix.Such fluid temperature is 50-55 degrees Celsius.With strict compliance with instructions, manufacturers guarantee an average growth of 10-14 days.
However, these drugs cannot guarantee your therapeutic effect.Usually they show good results only in the fight against small single warts.Special plasters or medical pencils, soaked in salicylic acid or lactic acid, have proven themselves well.Such a course of treatment can take you up to one and a half to two months.
No one will guarantee
Despite the broad lists and methods intended for removing warts and papillomas caused by HPV, no experts will do complete healing and lack of relapse in the future.Unfortunately, the probability of the secondary appearance of such growth is quite high.This is all about the arrangement of deep virus structures in the skin, as well as the choice of wrong therapeutic techniques.
To protect yourself as much as possible from the relapse, it is necessary to maintain your immune system, take vitamin complex, try to avoid handshakes with strangers, monitor skin integrity (wearing gloves or protective gloves in production), avoid tight shoes and cornstarchs on the feet.
The precautionary measures
After deciding the removal of papilloma, be sure to consult a surgeon or dermatologist.After all, it may be that you can confuse and receive regular nevus or capillary hemangioma for flat warts.And the burning of nevus can lead to sad consequences, so that the appearance of cancer.
Consultation with experts, the delivery of the tests needed, and then removal of growth in the clinic will allow you to avoid risk and maintain your health.
