Papillomas are growths that look like light warts on the body or spots on the feet, which are nowhere to be seen and often disappear without treatment.
The causative agent of the disease - human papillomavirus (from the English - Human Papillomavirus) enters the body from the outside, is extremely widespread: up to 80% of the world's population is its carrier!
Such a high percentage is due to the fact that the infection occurs through contact, it is almost impossible to limit the transmission of the virus.
Not every carrier pays attention to the disease and does not consult a doctor, so it is always important to remove papillomas at home.
The nature of papillomavirus
The insidious virus can be found anywhere: in the neck, armpits, under the breasts, eyelids, abdomen and genitals. In most cases, this is a benign formation. If the virus enters the cell's 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. Under such difficult conditions, the immune system fails, the door to various infections opens wide, and the papilloma virus is ready to attack. The main conditions for increasing the activity of the virus:
- severe stress;
- pregnancy;
- serious 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, papillomavirus exacerbation and the appearance of unexpected skin growths are likely.
Ways of infection
Anyone can be infected with the virus. However, there are factors that make infection almost inevitable:
- transmission of the virus from birth to newborn;
- unprotected sexual intercourse with the carrier;
- tactile contact with the patient;
- when sharing home appliances;
- to visit the pool;
- penetration of the virus through skin wounds.
Carriers of the papillomavirus can live peacefully for years and do not suspect its existence, awareness usually occurs when the immune system is weakened. Then the virus, which is inactive in the basal layer of the epithelium, comes to the surface and takes the form of genital warts or flat plaques. Living with papillomas is not comfortable and aesthetically pleasing.
The most effective treatment is to eliminate. You can't just cut the legs of papillomas or try to cut them, you can stimulate the active growth and proliferation of tumors by turning them into a malignant form.
At the first sign of infection, consult a dermatologist or try alternative treatments.
