Papilloma

Papilloma is a lesion of the skin and mucous membranes caused by human papillomavirus.

Rehabilitation agents - Papilloma virus viruses. Currently, more than 60 variants are known, 32 of which are known to cause the disease.

Ways of infection - contact (through skin microtrauma), sex, perinatal (at birth).

Manifestations of papillomas

Papilloma
  • Cut papillomas (sneezes).
    Most common in the hands, less common in other parts of the body. Localized lesions are more common in children and adolescents. Sputum lesions may be widespread in immunocompromised patients. The incubation period is 1-6 months. The maximum amount of virus in the affected tissues is recorded 6 months after infection.
  • Vulgar (simple) papillomas.
    They are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). This shape is manifested by hard bones with a diameter of 1 mm or more, prone to fusion. Vulgar papillomas often cover a large area. They can be seen everywhere, but more often on the back of the palms and fingers, in children - on the knees. A single papilloma may be virtually unchanged for months or even years, but the rapid spread of the process is also possible. There are isolated cases of papilloma degeneration into a tumor. Cases of immunodeficiency contribute to the spread of the process.
  • Plantar papillomas.
    The causative agent is HPV-1 (deep form), HPV-2 (mosaic sneezes) and HPV-4 (small lesions). The process begins with the formation of a small, shiny bump, acquiring the characteristics of a typical papilloma covered with a protruding ring. Occasionally, around a papilloma, a large number of girl-like bubbles appear - mosaic sneezes.
    Plantar papillomas can be painful and make walking difficult. Their lifespan is different. In some cases, especially in children, spontaneous disappearance of any number of papillomas is possible. This form of the disease is often confused with calluses that appear on the fingers or in areas of pressure between the fingers. Corns, unlike papillomas, have a smooth surface with a skin pattern.
  • Straight papillomas.
    They are caused by HPV-3 and HPV-10. They are represented by smooth curves of normal skin color (light yellow or slightly colored). They can be round or polygonal in shape. The appearance of flat papillomas in children is usually accompanied by itching, inflammation of the affected area, redness, itching.
  • Filiform papillomas.
    They occur in more than 50% of the population over the age of 50 in the armpits, groin, neck and around the eyes. The process begins with the formation of small yellowish or slightly colored cones, which are then enlarged and turned into dense elastic joints extending to 5-6 mm in size. Papillomas may become inflamed at possible trauma sites. Their spontaneous extinction does not happen.
  • Local epithelial hyperplasia (Beck's disease).
    Affected substances are human papillomaviruses 13 and 32. The disease was first described in American Indians. Small adhesions in the mucous membranes around the mouth, tongue and lips are observed in the form of papillary effects.
  • Genital sneezing.
    The causative agents of genital sneezing are low (6, 11), medium (31, 33, 35) and high (16, 18) human papilloma viruses with oncological risk. Viruses are sexually transmitted. The incubation period lasts from a few weeks to several months. In some cases, the lesions are minimal and often overlooked. Infected cells are prone to malignant degeneration. In most cases, a long and widespread process is accompanied by cases of immunodeficiency.
    Cervical cancer is most commonly diagnosed in women with genital herpes. In most cases, regardless of the age of the patients, the viral genome is detected by DNA hybridization. The mediator affected is HPV-18.
  • Juvenile papillomatosis of the abdomen.
    Affected substances are HPV-6 and HPV-11. They are rarely registered. In most cases, papillomatosis is found in children under 5 years of age infected in the mother's birth canal. The appearance of characteristic enlargements is observed in the vocal cords, which leads to speech difficulties and impaired air circulation in the upper respiratory tract.

Treatment of papillomas

The same symptoms can be signs of different diseases and the disease cannot continue according to the textbook. Do not try to heal yourself - consult your doctor.

There is currently no single international standard for the treatment of papillomas. To date, the official treatment rules

includes
  • cytostatics (antineoplastic drugs),
  • cryo laser,
  • electro destruction.

However, they are not always effective and are accompanied by repetition.

Other treatments for papillomas:

  • For acute and vulgar (simple) papillomas - surgical removal (cryodestruction, laser removal with immunity correction).
  • plantar - for cryodestruction, laser and / or diathermocoagulation.
  • Mosaic papillomas are the most difficult to treat. Symptoms of inflammation are observed, especially in children.
  • For straight forms - cryotherapy to correct immunity.
  • Filiform - for diathermocoagulation.
  • Cryotherapy with correction of immunity for local epithelial hyperplasia.
  • In case of diathermocoagulation with tight sectional dysplasia, cryotherapy or subsequent correction of immunity.
  • For genital sneezing - removal of sneezes with cryo therapy, laser excision or diathermocoagulation and forced correction of the immune system.

Treatment of genital papillomas with other sexually transmitted infections (chlamydia, bacterial vaginosis, herpes, CMV infection, etc. ) can be difficult. In these cases, treatment is carried out in parallel.
