At least once in our lives, they encountered warts - knotted growths that affect the legs, fingers and feet, armpits and some other parts of the body.As a general rule, the cause of these benign tumors is the human papillomavirus (HPV), which affects every second population of the planet.
What do you need to know about HPV?
Today, HPV understands the entire group of viruses (more than 100), which has settled in the tissues and media of the human body, from time to time it can be manifested in the form of a normal, flat, pointed warts (in fact warts).HPV is most often transmitted with infected skin, towels, ordinary clothes and sexually.Such a virus can be easily picked up in a bathroom, pool sauna, locker room for a fitness club and other public places with high humidity and dubious health conditions.After penetrating the body, the virus is rooted forever and unfortunately does not allow the full cure.
In fact, dozens of HPV strains can live in one of the carriers' bodies.In the presence of severe immunity and in the absence of chronic diseases, the papilloma virus can be unobtrusive without showing itself.However, if the body's protective functions are weakened, you can declare itself in the format of HPV tumors, increase body temperature and general diseases.
During the walk, so -called planar warts appearing on the feet of the largest friction zone, which are best for most troubles.Such warts are greyish kallus -like seals that are extremely painful while walking.Gender warts are also extremely unpleasant, which is quite problematic thanks to the thin skin of the localization zone.
Special antiviral drugs and immunotherapy are used to treat HPV, although, as we have already noted, it is not possible to get rid of obtained viruses forever today.
Medical methods to remove warts
In modern dermatology, many successful techniques are used to remove tumors in the form of warts:
- Cryodestruction.Burning a benign tumor with liquid nitrogen.Only a few procedures are sufficient to remove the wart.The procedure is quite painful as the frozen nitrogen is in contact with the skin at 196 degrees Celsius.From the shortcomings of the methodology, it is noted that it is difficult to observe the ice cream level during cauterization and the possibility of the scar to appear in the distant wart site.
- Burn with laser.Removing the growth layer is performed with local anesthesia with medical lasers.This method is the least traumatic, so the wart site is cosmetic defects, usually do not arise.
- Electrocoagulation.The methodology is based on the effect on the affected area of the high frequency skin.With deep burns of the roots of the wart, a scar may occur after healing the wound.
- Surgery removal.It is quite rarely used, usually with a deep arrangement of the roots of growth.After cutting the body of the wart, the surgeon prescribes the seams after the visible scar remains.The innovative option is the so-called radio wave surgery, which includes wart removal using high-frequency radio waves (3.8-4.0 MHz).
Live at home
You can delete a traditional wart at home.For these purposes, cosmetic treatment compounds based on natural celandine or active alkalis are most often used.
Before removing the wart to protect healthy skin, a thin layer of child cream or petroleum should be applied directly near the affected area.Now you can start burning directly.To do this, add a small drop of composition directly to the top of the wart and wait for it to dry it.You should repeat a similar procedure for a few days 1-2 times a day.In the process of such treatment, the wart peels and then disappears completely, leaving a small pigment spot that disappears after a while.
This method of removing warts and pointed papillomas should be extremely careful.The concentrated alkalis in such compositions are extremely aggressive, so by incorrect calculating the volume of a single dose, the procedure may leave deep chemical burns during a burning session, which will moisten and heal for a long time.With such errors, the appearance of scars or scars is inevitable.
Home cryotherapy and therapeutic repair
You can try to get rid of warted nodes with modern drugs based on a special cooling mixture.Such a liquid temperature is 50-55 degrees Celsius.Strictly adherence to the instructions, manufacturers guarantee that they get rid of growth in 10 to 14 days.
However, such drugs cannot guarantee the therapeutic effect.Usually they only show good results in fighting small warts.Special plasters or medical pencils, soaked in salicylic acid or lactic acid, were well proven.Such a treatment can reach one and a half months.
No one will give guarantees
Although a wide list of tools and methods for removing warts and papillomas caused by HPV and methods, no specialist undertakes complete cure and lack of relapse in the future.Unfortunately, the likelihood of the secondary appearance of such growth is quite high.All this is about the deep arrangement of the virus structures and the improper choice of therapeutic techniques.
In order to protect itself as much as possible from relapses, you need to keep your immune system, take the vitamin complexes, try to avoid handshake with unknown people, monitor skin integrity (wear gloves or protective sleeveless manufacture), avoid tight shoes and corn.
Precautions
After deciding to remove the papilloma, be sure to consult a surgeon or dermatologist.After all, it is possible to mix and accept the usual nevus or capillary hemangioma for a flat wart.And the burning of Nevus can lead to sad consequences until the appearance of cancer.
Consultation with a specialist, performing the necessary tests, and then removing growth at the clinic allows you to avoid risks and maintain health.
