Almost every one of us at least once in our life was found with warts: knotted growth that affect the hands, fingers and feet of the legs, armpits and some other parts of the body.As a general rule, the cause of these benign neoplasms is human papilloma (HPV), which affects every second inhabitant of the planet.
What do you need to know about HPV?
HPV today understands that a complete group of viruses (more than 100), which was established in tissues and media of the human body, occasionally can manifest itself in the form of ordinary, flat and pointed warts (in fact, warts).HPV are transmitted more frequently through contact with the skin of the infected, through towels, common clothing, as well as sexually.Such virus can be easily collected in a bathroom, a pool sauna, a costume for a fitness club and other public places with high humidity and doubtful sanitary conditions.Having penetrated the body, the virus throws the root forever and, unfortunately, does not yield to the complete cure.
In addition, in the body of a bearer, several dozen HPV strains can live at the same time.In the presence of severe immunity and the absence of chronic diseases, the papillomavirus can be in a nap state, without being shown.However, in the case of weakening the protective functions of the body, HPV can be declared in the neoplasms format, increase body temperature, general ailment.
The plantar warts that appear in the feet in the area of the largest friction during the walk are called more problems.Such warts are gray stamps like calluses that are extremely painful while walking.Genital warts are also extremely unpleasant, whose elimination is quite problematic due to thin skin in the area of its location.
For the treatment of HPV, special antiviral medications are used today, as well as immunotherapy, although, as we have already pointed out, it is not possible to get rid of the viruses acquired forever.
Medical methods to eliminate warts
In modern dermatology, several successful techniques are used to eliminate neoplasms in the form of warts:
- Cryodructure.It burns a benign neoplasia with liquid nitrogen.Only a few procedures are enough to completely eliminate the wart.The procedure is quite painful, since frozen nitrogen contacts the skin at a temperature of 196 degrees Celsius.From the deficiencies of the methodology, we notice the difficulty of monitoring the frost level during cauterization, as well as the possibility of the appearance of a scar on the site of a remote wart.
- Burning with a laser.The elimination of the growth layer is performed using local anesthesia with medical lasers.This method is the least traumatic, therefore, the cosmetic defects on the site of La Verruga, as a rule, do not arise.
- Electrocoagulation.The methodology is based on the effect on the affected area of the skin with a high frequency current.With a deep burning of the roots of the wart after healing the wound, a scar can occur.
- Surgical removal.It is rarely used, generally with a deep disposition of growth roots.After the split of the wart, the surgeon imposes the seams, after the elimination of which the visible scar remains.The innovative option is the so-called radio wave surgery, which implies the elimination of a wart using high frequency radio waves (3.8-4.0 MHz).
Burning at home
You can eliminate a conventional wart at home.For these purposes, the cosmetic treatment compounds carried out on the basis of the natural cele or the active alkali are used more frequently.
Before removing the wart to protect healthy skin, a thin layer of children's cream or oil gelatin 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 its complete drying.You will have to repeat a similar procedure 1-2 times a day for several days.In the process of this treatment, the wart will be exfoliated and then disappear completely, leaving behind a small pigmentary place, which will disappear after a while.
Using this method to eliminate warts and pointed papillomas, you must be very careful.The concentrated alkali contained in such compositions is extremely aggressive, therefore, with the incorrect calculation of the volume of a single dose during an ardor session, the procedure can leave behind a deep chemical burn, which will get wet and heal for a long time.The appearance of scars or scar with such errors is inevitable.
Domestic cryotherapy and therapeutic patch
You can try to get rid of wart nodes with the help of modern drugs, which are based on a special cooling mixture.The temperature of said liquid is 50-55 degrees Celsius.With strict observance of the instructions, manufacturers guarantee to get rid of growth on average in 10-14 days.
However, such drugs cannot guarantee a therapeutic effect.They usually show a good result only in the fight against small individual warts.Special plasters or medical pencils, soaked in salicylic or lactic acids, have demonstrated well.Such treatment course can take it to a and a half to two months.
No one will give guarantees
Despite the extensive list of media and methods aimed at eliminating warts and papillomas caused by HPV, not a single specialist will carry out a complete cure and lack of relapse in the future.Unfortunately, the probability of the secondary appearance of such growth is quite high.It is the deep disposition of viral structures in the skin, as well as the incorrect choice of therapeutic techniques.
To protect yourself as much as possible from relapses, it is necessary to constantly maintain your immune system, take vitamin complexes, try to avoid handshakes with unknown people, monitor skin integrity (use protective gloves or mittens in production), avoid torn shoes and the occurrence of corn on the alone of the feet.
Precautions
Having decided the elimination of papilloma, be sure to consult with a surgeon or a dermatologist.After all, it may be able to confuse and accept nevus or ordinary hair hemangioma for a flat wart.And the burning of Nevus can lead to sad consequences, until the appearance of cancer.
Consult with a specialist, the delivery of the necessary tests and then the elimination of growths in the clinic will allow you to avoid risks and maintain your health.
