A wart is an increase in the surface layer of the skin, which is most often round in shape. The appearance of a wart on human skin occurs due to infection with the papillomavirus. Separately, they can be about two millimeters in size, but the combination of several neoplasms leads to the appearance of rather large areas of skin covered with warts.
Types of warts
There are four main types in nature:
- ordinary;
- pointed;
- youthful;
- senile warts.
Ordinary are small keratinizations of the skin (up to nine millimeters in diameter) and do not pose any danger. Such papillomas pass for several years without treatment.
Genital warts are often referred to as venereal warts because they are transmitted during sexual intercourse. Treatment is provided by urologists, gynecologists, etc.
Youthful papules look like small skin nodules. On the body, they are almost invisible. They are found in young people mainly on the back of the hand or face.
Older people may develop senilewarts that do not need treatment. They can mainly be found on areas of the body covered with clothing, less often on the face or hands, sometimes on the soles.
Causes of occurrence
The appearance of warts can occur in the following ways:
- By direct contact with a person who already has warts.
- Sharing the same clothes, utensils with a person who is infected with HPV.
- Walking barefoot where an infected person walked barefoot.
- If you do a manicure with a raw tool.
- Sexually.
- When wearing tight shoes.
The above causes mediate between infection with the human papillomavirus and the formation of warts. It is important to note that the HPV carrier itself may not have warts and may not even be aware of the presence of the virus in his body due to good immunity. It must be remembered that weakened immunity contributes to the development of not only the papillomavirus, but also other dangerous diseases that can undermine he alth. Therefore, you should be extremely careful in public pools, baths, saunas and other places where you can get HPV. The best way to protect yourself from the appearance of warts is to maintain body hygiene, lead a he althy lifestyle, and maintain a high level of immunity.
Surgical methods of wart removal
If you have one or two warts, then you should not use this method. But if they have grown on a decent area of the skin - you need to act. To dateThere are two most famous ways to remove warts through surgery: excision with a scalpel and with a laser.
Excision with a scalpel. Not a very good method of treatment, but popular due to the fact that it is relatively cheap. But he has a lot of shortcomings. One of the first is that the surgeon touches your body with a scalpel, and an inexperienced doctor can do this in such a way that the virus starts to grow even more. Also, the virus does not go anywhere. The operation process takes place in such a way that only the wart is removed from above, and the root may remain. And the last - there are scars. No matter how hard the surgeon tries, no matter how professional he is, there will still be a scar, albeit small, but ugly.
Excision with a laser. The second version, one might say, is the same excision, only more advanced. The fact is that the operation takes place with the help of a laser. This gives a huge advantage over conventional excision. Since the high temperature removes the wart with the root, then the virus will no longer be there, which means that the risk of new growths is minimal. Provides sterility. Since the surgeon does not have physical contact with your skin, the risk of infection is not only minimal - it does not exist. But due to all these advantages, the procedure is more expensive. After all, expensive equipment is not available everywhere, and medical institutions that have it become monopolists. As they say - pay or don't get treated. The choice is yours.

But if you decide not to treat and leave it to chance, then this can develop into a surgical method. After all, a wart is a virus, and it does not stand still. If your immunity is strong, then he can handle it himself, but if you are not sure of his strength, then it is recommended to consult a doctor for advice. An experienced specialist will tell you what is the best method to undergo treatment and what is needed for this.
