Growths on the body, similar to light warts or spots on the legs, that appear out of nowhere and often disappear without any treatment, are papillomas.
The causative agent of the disease - the human papillomavirus (from English - Human Papillomavirus) - enters the body from the outside, it is unusually widespread: up to 80% of the world population is its carrier!
Such a high percentage is due to the fact that the infection occurs by tactile contact, it is almost impossible to contain the transmission of the virus.
Not all carriers attach importance to the disease and go to the doctor, so the removal of papillomas at home is always important.
The nature of the papillomavirus
The insidious virus can be located anywhere: on the neck, armpits, under the breasts, eyelids, abdomen and genitals. In most cases, it is a benign formation. If a virus invades 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
The modern person is haunted by chronic stress, disease and bad habits. Under such difficult conditions, the immune system fails, the doors open for various infections, and the papilloma virus is ready to attack. The main prerequisites for increasing the activity of the virus:
- severe stress;
- pregnancy;
- severe illness;
- long-term use of drugs;
- old age;
- avitaminosis;
- bad habits: smoking, alcohol;
- high sexual activity without protection.
If at least one of the signs is present, an exacerbation of the papillomavirus and the appearance of unexpected skin growths is likely.
Routes of infection
Anyone can catch the virus. But there are factors in 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 appliances;
- visiting the pool;
- penetration of the virus through wounds on the skin.
The carrier of the papillomavirus can live peacefully for years and not be suspicious of its presence, enlightenment usually occurs when the immune system is weakened. Then the virus, dormant in the basal layer of the epithelium, comes out to the surface and takes the form of genital warts or flattened plaques. Living with papillomas is not comfortable and is not aesthetically pleasing.
The most effective treatment is to remove. You can not simply cut the legs of papillomas or try to cut them, you can provoke active growth and reproduction of growths, growing into a malignant form.
At the first sign of infection, see a dermatologist or try alternative treatments.
