Everyone needs to take a closer look at the types of papillomas in general. Such information will be useful in the sense that some types of warts have very high oncogenic levels, and if they appear in the body, a person can see a doctor immediately.
Each type of neoplasm has its own external characteristics and is worth getting to know them a little more closely.
General or vulgar warts - description
Papillomavirus carriers make up 90% of the world's population. For some, they may remain inactive for life, but there are those who cannot get rid of warts. You can often see a common papilloma on the skin caused by 7, 10, 12, 14, 15, 17, 19-24, 26, 27, 29, 55 types of viral organisms.
Vulgar papillomas manifest themselves in the human body due to the following external features:
- shape is round or hemispherical;
- the color is slightly darker than flesh or brown;
- rises 2-4 millimeters above the level of the skin;
- has an even and smooth structure, a soft structure;
- It is attached to the human body thanks to a special foot.
Such a problem can occur in the arms, legs, back, face and neck. Some people confuse such benign compounds with moles, but in reality the two concepts are completely different.
There are no noticeable symptoms of such a problem, this type of wart has a very low level of oncogenicity and does not necessarily require elimination. If a person has a desire, he can eliminate the growth with the use of laser therapy, freezing with liquid nitrogen, special plasters or standard surgical intervention.
Description of filiform warts
Types of papillomas can tell you exactly which genotype of the virus is causing the problem. Often filiform warts can be found in the neck or face. They are quite small, sit on a long leg and practically do not cause discomfort. The characteristic features of papillomas of this special type should be called:
- quite small, almost small in size;
- the leg is long and very thin, which also resembles a rope;
- meat or light brown;
- has a very soft and pleasant texture.
Filiform warts can appear on the eyelids, neck, near the mouth. If they grow in another part of the body, then there is nothing strange here, because the human papillomavirus can look completely unexpected. Filamentous papillomas are also called anronorades, and doctors do not give clear recommendations for their removal. When this particular type of problem occurs, there are no clear recommendations for elimination.
Straight papillomas - the main features
Flat warts are a very common type of papilloma that occurs at a very young age.
Adolescents develop small straight warts that disappear spontaneously over time.
A flat neoplasm is also more likely to appear in adulthood, as the problem is caused by virus types 43, 55, 53 and more.
In terms of appearance, this problem has the following features:
- practically does not rise above the level of the skin or the height is minimal;
- flesh or light brown shade;
- appears in most single versions;
- does not cause any discomfort, can be minimal or rather large.
Such a problem only causes visual disturbance because they do not pose any particular problem for disturbance. Your doctor may prescribe antiviral therapy for antiviral medications. If a person has visual disturbances in the presence of a flat wart, the papilloma can be removed surgically, laser or cold cauterization.
Sharp papillomas or warts
The most dangerous for humans are pointed papillomas. They are caused by viral organisms numbered 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 59, 70, 30, 39, 55, 57, 67, 69. male and female areas.
The external features of genital warts caused by human papillomavirus are:
- cone-shaped growths, various sizes;
- fairly high growth above the level of the skin;
- the presence of a wart is not the only option;
- a significant number of papillomas form a formation very similar to cauliflower;
- education not only in the skin but also in the mucous membranes;
- flesh, light brown or pink.
The appearance of these growths in the intimate area is very disturbing. A person feels constant itching, feels uncomfortable during intimacy, and may have a very unpleasant odor.
If the problem is found in the woman, then she will be offered an examination. Treatment of the problem will directly depend on what specific diagnosis doctors make. If the formations have already become malignant, surgery is performed and chemotherapy is used. When denying such a serious diagnosis, patients are still advised to remove the growths and undergo antiviral therapy.
Plantar warts - the main features
Some HPV genotypes cause warts on the soles of the feet and palms. They often look like ordinary corn, but at the same time they are very painful. The main features of this type of problem formations should be called the following external manifestations:
- color growths are practically indistinguishable from skin color;
- rises slightly above the level of the skin;
- often resembles a small knot in the foot and has some mobility.
Anxiety about growth occurs only because it is visible in such an area. Due to over-education, it is painful for a person to step on the foot completely, and if the papilloma is on the arm, then there is a great deal of anxiety during the execution of some kind of robot. It is important to remove such growths, as they can be easily damaged, which often leads to blood poisoning.
Plantar warts have low oncogenic levels, but they are extremely dangerous because they are easily damaged without even noticing. Such a problem requires antiviral therapy, surgical removal of the growth, laser or liquid nitrogen. A small wound remains after the operation, but it heals completely within a few days.
Basal end papillomas and warts of old age
There are papillomas that occur only in people of a certain age. These benign growths include basal end papillomas. Such neoplasms are also considered aging warts (pictured).
In terms of appearance, such benign growths can be described as follows:
- the color is practically no different from the standard skin color;
- very soft structure;
- a slight rise above the level of the skin;
- Variations in terms of size - fairly large or small papillomas.
Such warts do not pose any danger. They can not be removed, but if desired, the patient can always choose the most convenient type of therapy for himself. Such papillomas look very weak in the photo, but in real life they are clearly visible during external examination.
additional information
In nature, there are about 150 types of papillomavirus that cause warts of various shapes and sizes on the skin. Papillomas are divided into types depending on which HPV strain a person is infected with.
People can develop warts of different types and sizes only after the body is very weak, and if they see such formations on the skin, it is worth remembering and taking into account the following information:
- concomitant pointed papillomas or warts always have a very high level of danger;
- when warts appear under the feet, mucous membranes, palms, even if they belong to safe varieties, they must be removed;
- You should not try to cut all kinds of warts yourself, as this can lead to relapses and infection of the whole body.
Each human body has its own characteristics, which affect how the human papillomavirus can manifest itself.
If a person sees a certain type of wart on the body, the description of which is similar to one of the types shown, then you should see a doctor immediately.
If the education does not match the descriptions above, this should also be ignored, as it can all be triggered by HPV.
Why does this problem occur in almost everyone? Experienced doctors have not yet been able to determine in detail, but experts have learned how to skillfully treat both the external manifestations and the source of the problem. An external problem of any kind is an opportunity to visit a medical professional. You can't ignore it, because everything can end very seriously.
In custody
Thus, if a person has a normal or straight wart, he does not need to be afraid at all, but pointed growths are not always benign, which is a reason for additional diagnosis and emergency treatment.
Elderly warts do not manifest themselves in any way, and often do not cause HPV, but only with age. Straight papillomas can become an age-related feature of adolescence and then disappear without a trace.
But you should not believe it, because the problem may be more serious. Then it is better to immediately consult a qualified medical professional and solve the problem skillfully to avoid additional problems.
Among all types of warts, there are completely safe neoplasms and those that can cause significant damage to health. Both problems require a competent diagnosis, and only then will the doctor decide what to do in a particular situation. Everyone can learn to recognize the types of problems, but there is no point in trying to treat them yourself.
