Growths that look like mild warts on the body or spots on the legs that appear suddenly and often disappear without any treatment are papillomas.
The causative agent of the disease - human papillomavirus (from English - Human Papillomavirus) - enters the body from the outside, is unusually common: it is a carrier of up to 80% of the world's population!
Such a high percentage is due to the fact that infection occurs through tactile contact; It is almost impossible to control the transmission of the virus.
Not every carrier attaches importance to the disease and does not go to the doctor, so it is always important to remove papillomas at home.
The nature of the papilloma virus
The insidious virus can be found anywhere: on the neck, armpits, under the breasts, eyelids, abdomen and genitals. In most cases, it is a benign formation. If a virus invades the cell chromosomes and integrates into the cell nucleus, it becomes malignant.
Before starting treatment, you should consult a doctor to find out the nature of the virus, and then choose an acceptable method.
who is at risk
Modern man is plagued by chronic stress, illness and bad habits. In such difficult conditions, the immune system collapses, the doors are wide open to various infections, and the papilloma virus is ready to attack. The main prerequisites for increasing the activity of the virus:
- severe stress;
- pregnancy;
- serious illness;
- long-term use of drugs;
- old age;
- vitamin deficiency;
- bad habits: smoking, alcohol;
- unprotected high sexual activity.
If at least one of the symptoms is present, exacerbation of the papillomavirus and unexpected skin growths are likely to occur.
Infection routes
Anyone can get the virus. But there are factors for which infection is almost inevitable:
- transmission of the virus from mother to newborn;
- unprotected sexual contact with a carrier;
- tactile contact with the patient;
- when sharing household appliances;
- visiting the pool;
- penetration of the virus through wounds on the skin.
The carrier of the papilloma virus can live peacefully for many years and not even suspect its existence, enlightenment often occurs when the immune system is weakened. Then the virus dormant in the basal layer of the epithelium rises to the surface and takes the form of genital warts or flattened plaques. Living with papillomas is not comfortable and not aesthetically pleasing.
The most effective treatment is removal. You can not only cut or try to cut off the legs of the papillomas, turning into a malignant form, triggering active growth and reproduction of growths.
See a dermatologist at the first sign of infection or try alternative treatments.
