It is necessary for everyone to consider more closely the type of papilloma in general. Such information would be useful in the sense that some types of warts have very high oncogenic levels and if they appear on the body, one can immediately see a doctor.
Each type of neoplasm has its own unique external features and deserves to be known more closely.
Ordinary or rough warts - description
Carriers of papillomavirus are 90% of the earth’s population. For some people, it may remain inactive for a lifetime, but some may not be able to get rid of the warts. Often, on the skin, you can see common papillomas, which are caused by the types of viral organisms numbered 7, 10, 12, 14, 15, 17, 19-24, 26, 27, 29, 55.
Abusive type papillomas appear on the human body due to the following external features:
- its shape is round or hemispherical;
- its color is slightly darker than flesh or brown;
- increased above skin level by 2-4 millimeters;
- has a flat and smooth structure, soft texture;
- attached to the human body thanks to a special foot.
Such problems can form in the arms, legs, back, face and neck. Some people confuse benign formations with moles, but in fact, these two concepts are completely different.
Such problems do not have any significant symptoms; this type of wart has a very low level of oncogenicity and does not require removal without fail. If a person has the desire, he or she can remove the growth through the use of laser therapy, freezing with liquid nitrogen, special plasters, or standard surgical intervention.
Description of filiform warts
Papilloma varieties can tell you exactly the genotype of the viral organism that is causing the problem. Often, filiform warts can be found on the neck or in the facial area. They are quite small, lie on long legs and practically do not cause discomfort. The characteristic features of this particular type of papilloma should be called:
- rather small, almost small in size;
- legs long and very thin, resembling thread;
- meat or light chocolate;
- the structure is rather soft and pleasant.
Filtered warts can appear on the eyelids, neck, near the mouth. If they grow in other parts of the body, then there is nothing strange here, because 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 is no clear recommendation on removal.
Flat papilloma - the main feature
Flat warts are a relatively common type of papilloma, most often occurring at a young age.
In adolescents, small flat warts are observed and over time they disappear on their own.
The likelihood of flat neoplasms appearing at a more mature age is also quite high, as the problem is caused by viral varieties numbered 43, 55, 53 and a few more.
In terms of appearance, this problem has the following characteristics:
- arguably not protruding above skin level or height is minimal;
- flesh or light brown shade;
- most often appear in one variant;
- does not cause any discomfort, may have a minimum size or be quite large.
Such problems only cause visual discomfort, as they do not cause any specific problems to worry about. The doctor may prescribe antiviral therapy, which is caused by the intake of antiviral medications. If a person experiences visual discomfort in the presence of flat warts, then the papilloma can be removed surgically, with laser or cold cauterization.
Pointed papillomas or warts
The most dangerous for humans is a pointed papilloma. They are caused by viral organisms numbered 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 59, 70, 30, 39, 55, 57, 67, 69. Such formations have a very high level of oncogenic, most often appearing in the intimate areas of menand women.
The external features of genital warts that occur as a result of human papillomavirus activity are considered to be:
- cone -shaped growth, different sizes;
- a relatively high rise above the level of the skin;
- the presence of warts is not in one variant;
- a large number of papillomas create a formation which in appearance is very similar to cauliflower;
- education not only on the skin, but also on the mucous membranes;
- flesh, light brown or pink.
The appearance of this growth in the intimate area causes a lot of discomfort. A person feels constant itching, feels uncomfortable during intimacy, and there may be an unpleasant odor.
If the problem is identified in the woman, then she will be offered to undergo screening. The treatment of the problem directly depends on the specific diagnosis made by the doctor. If the formation has become malignant, then surgery is performed, chemotherapy is used. When denied a serious diagnosis, patients are still recommended to remove the tumor and carry out antiviral therapy.
Plantar warts - the main feature
Some genotypes of HPV cause warts on the soles of the feet and palms. They often resemble regular corn, while somewhat painful. The main features of this type of problematic formation should be called the following external manifestations:
- in color, growth is practically indistinguishable from skin color;
- slightly protruding above skin level;
- often resembles a small knot on the foot and has little movement.
Discomfort from growth occurs only because it appears in such a zone. Due to excessive education, it is painful for a person to fully step on the foot, and if the papilloma is on the arm, then during the performance of some types of robots, there is a very great discomfort. It is important to remove such growths, as they can be very easily damaged, which often leads to blood poisoning.
Plantar warts have a low level of oncogenicity, but they are quite dangerous because they are easily damaged unnoticed. With such problems, it is necessary to carry out antiviral therapy, removing the growths through surgery, with a laser or liquid nitrogen. After the operation, the small wound remained, but it healed completely within a few days.
Base end papilloma and senile warts
There are papillomas that occur exclusively in people of a certain age. This type of benign growth includes basal tip papilloma. Such neoplasms are also considered senile warts (pictured).
In terms of appearance, the benign growth can be described as follows:
- in color practically no different from the standard color of the skin;
- rather soft structure;
- height slightly above skin level;
- variation in size - papilloma rather large or small.
Such warts pose no danger. They cannot be removed, but if desired, the patient can always choose the type of therapy that is most comfortable for himself. Such types of papillomas are somewhat less visible in photos, but in real life they are clearly visible during external examination.
Additional information
Naturally, there are about 150 types of papillomavirus, which cause the appearance of warts of various shapes and sizes on the skin. Papillomas are divided into types depending on the type of HPV the person is infected with.
People can develop warts in various types and sizes only after the body is very weak, and if they notice such a formation on the skin, then it is necessary to remember and take into account the following information:
- pointed papillomas or accumulated warts always have a very high level of danger;
- when warts appear on the soles of the feet, mucous membranes, palms, even if they belong to the safe type, they should be removed without fail;
- you should not try to cut the warts of each type on your own, as this threatens to recur and infect the whole body.
Every human body has its own characteristics, which also affect how exactly the human papillomavirus can manifest itself.
If a person notices a particular type of wart on the body, it is similar in description to one of the types indicated, then you should immediately see a doctor.
When education does not fit the above description, it also cannot be ignored, as everything can be provoked by HPV.
Why does this problem exist in almost everyone? Experienced doctors have not yet been able to identify in detail, but specialists have learned how to treat both external manifestations and the root cause of the problem efficiently. The external problem of each variety is the opportunity to visit a physician. You can’t ignore this, because it can all end very seriously.
In custody
Therefore, if a person has normal or flat warts, then he should not be afraid at all, but the sharp growth is not always benign, which is a reason for additional diagnosis and immediate treatment.
Senile warts also do not manifest themselves in any way and are usually not caused by HPV, but only form due to age. Flat papillomas can be a feature associated with adolescence, then disappear without a trace.
But you can’t rely on this, because the problem may be more serious. It is better to immediately go to a qualified physician and solve the problem efficiently, so that later you do not face additional problems.
Among warts of all types, there are neoplasms that are completely safe and that can cause significant harm to health. Both problems require a competent diagnosis, and only then will the doctor decide what to do in a particular case. Everyone can learn to recognize the type of problem, but there is no point in trying to treat it yourself.
