Almost all of us at least once in our life have come across warts: knots knots that hit 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 inhabitant of the planet.
What do you need to know about the HPV?
The HPV today includes an entire group of viruses (more than 100), which settled in the tissues and media of the human body, from time to time they can occur in the form of ordinary, flat and pointed warts (in fact, warts).HPVs are often transmitted through contact with the skin of the infected, through towels, common clothes and sexually.Such a virus can be easily collected in a bathing establishment, a swimming pool sauna, a locker room for a fitness club and other public places with high humidity and doubtful health conditions.After penetrating the body, the virus takes root forever and, unfortunately, does not surrender to complete treatment.
In addition, in the body of a carrier, several dozen HPV strains can live at the same time.In the presence of serious immunity and absence of chronic diseases, the papilloma virus can be in a nap of a nap, without proving.However, in the event of weakening the protective functions of the body, the HPV can declare itself in the format of neoplasms, increase body temperature, general disorder.
Plantar warts so calls that appear on the feet in the area of the greatest friction during the walk are more called the most problems.These warts are gray -like gray seals that are extremely painful as they walk.The genital warts are also extremely unpleasant, whose removal is rather problematic due to thin skin in the area of their location.
For the treatment of HPV, special antiviral drugs are used today, as well as immunotherapy, although, as we have already noticed, it is not possible to get rid of the viruses acquired forever today.
Medical methods to remove warts
In modern dermatology, several successful techniques are used to remove neoplasms in the form of warts:
- Cryodestrection.Burn a benign neoplasm with liquid nitrogen.Only some procedures are sufficient to completely remove the wart.The procedure is rather painful, since frozen nitrogen contacts the skin at a temperature of - 196 degrees Celsius.Of the shortcomings of the methodology, we note the difficulty of monitoring the level of frost during cauterization, as well as the possibility of the appearance of a scar on the site of a remote wart.
- Burn with a laser.The removal of the growth layer is performed using local anesthesia with medical laser.This method is the least traumatic, therefore, cosmetic defects on the wart site, as a rule, do not present themselves.
- 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 used quite rarely enough, usually with a deep arrangement of the growth roots.After the excision of the wart of the wart, the surgeon imposes the seams, after the removal of which the visible scar remains.The innovative option is the so-called radio wave surgery, which involves the removal of a wart using high frequency radio waves (3.8-4.0 MHz).
Burn at home
You can eliminate a conventional wart at home.For these purposes, cosmetic treatment compounds are often used on the basis of natural or alkali curtains active.
Before removing the wart to protect the healthy skin, a thin layer of children's cream or oil jelly must be applied directly close to the affected area.Now you can start burning directly.To do this, apply a small drop of the composition directly above 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 exfect and then disappears completely, leaving behind a small pigmentary point, which will disappear after a while.
Using this method to remove warts and pointed papillomas, you should be extremely attentive.The concentrated alkali contained in these compositions is extremely aggressive, therefore, with the incorrect calculation of the volume of a single dose during a combustion session, the procedure can leave behind a deep chemical burn, which will wet and heal for a long time.The appearance of scars or scars with these errors is inevitable.
Domestic cryotherapy and therapeutic patch
You can try to get rid of the wart knots with the help of modern drugs, which are based on a mixture of special cooling.The temperature of such a liquid is 50-55 degrees Celsius.With a rigorous compliance with the instructions, the producers guarantee the liberation of growth on average in 10-14 days.
However, these drugs cannot guarantee a therapeutic effect.They usually show a good result only in the fight against small single warts.Special clay or medical pencils, soaked in salicyl or lactic acids, have proven well.Such a treatment course can bring you up to one and a half months.
Nobody will give guarantees
Despite the large list of means and methods intended for the removal of warts and papillomas caused by the HPV, not a single specialist will embark on a complete cure and the lack of recidivism in the future.Unfortunately, the probability that the secondary aspect of these growths is quite high.It is the deep arrangement of the viral structures in the skin, as well as the wrong choice of therapeutic techniques.
In order to protect you as much as possible from recurrence, it is necessary to constantly keep the immune system, take vitamin complexes, try to avoid handshakes with unknown people, monitor the integrity of the skin (wear gloves or protective gloves in production), avoid tight shoes and the occurrence of corn on the feet only.
Precautions
Having decided to remove the papilloma, be sure to consult a surgeon or dermatologist.After all, it is possible that you can confuse and accept ordinary Nevo or capillary emangioma for a flat wart.And the combustion of the nevus can lead to sad consequences, until the appearance of cancer.
The consultation with a specialist, the delivery of the necessary tests and therefore the removal of growth in the clinic will allow you to avoid risks and maintain health.
