It is necessary for each person to consider more closely the types of papillomas in general terms. Such information will be useful in the sense that some types of warts have a very high oncogenic level and if they appear in the body, a person can immediately consult a doctor.
Each of the types of neoplasms has its own unique external features and it is worth knowing a little more closely.
Common or vulgar warts - description
Carriers of papillomavirus are 90% of the earth's inhabitants. For some, it may remain inactive for a lifetime, but there are those who can not get rid of warts. Most often, on the skin, you can observe the common papilloma, which is caused by varieties of viral organisms numbered 7, 10, 12, 14, 15, 17, 19-24, 26, 27, 29, 55.
Papillomas of the vulgar type are manifested in the human body due to the following external characteristics:
- the shape is round or hemispherical;
- the color is slightly darker than meat or brown;
- rises above the level of the skin by 2-4 millimeters;
- has an even and smooth structure, smooth texture;
- attached to the human body thanks to a special foot.
Such a problem can be created in the arms, legs, back, face and neck. Some people confuse such benign formations with moles, but in fact, these two concepts are completely different.
Such a problem does not have any obvious symptoms; warts of this type have a very low level of oncogenicity and do not require removal without failure. If a person has the desire, he can remove the growth through the use of laser therapy, liquid nitrogen freezing, special plaster or standard surgical intervention.
Description of filiform warts
Papilloma varieties can tell you exactly which genotype of the viral organism is causing the problem. Very often, filiform warts can be found on the neck or facial area. They are quite small, placed on a long leg and practically do not cause discomfort. The characteristic features of papillomas of this particular type should be called:
- quite small size, almost small;
- the leg is long and very thin, which resembles a thread;
- meat or light coffee;
- quite soft and pleasant structure.
Filiform warts can appear on the eyelid, neck, near the mouth. If they grow on another part of the body, then there is nothing strange here because human papillomavirus can seem completely unexpected. Filamentous papillomas are also called anronorades and doctors do not give clear recommendations for their removal. When this particular type of problem arises, there are no clear recommendations regarding removal.
Flat papillomas - the main features
Flat warts are a very common type of papilloma, which most often appears at a young age.
On the body of adolescents are observed small flat warts and over time they disappear on their own.
The chance of a flat neoplasm appearing at a more mature age is also quite high because the problem is caused by the virus varieties numbered 43, 55, 53 and some others.
In terms of appearance, this problem has the following characteristics:
- practically does not last above skin level or lift is minimal;
- flesh or light brown shades;
- most often appears in a single variant;
- does not cause any inconvenience, may have a minimum size or rather large.
Such a problem only causes visual disturbances because they do not cause any particular problem for concern. Your doctor may prescribe antiviral therapy, which is triggered by taking antiviral medications. If a person experiences visual discomfort in the presence of a flat wart, then the papilloma can be surgically removed, with laser or cold cauterization.
Papilloma with tip or wart
The most dangerous for humans are pointed papillomas. 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 oncogenic level, most often appearingin intimate. fields of men and women.
The external characteristics of genital warts that appear as a result of human papillomavirus activity are considered to be:
- cone-shaped growth, different sizes;
- a fairly high rise above the level of the skin;
- the presence of a wart is not in a single variant;
- a considerable number of papillomas form a formation that is very similar in appearance to cauliflower;
- education not only in the skin but also in the mucosa;
- fleshy, light brown or pink.
The appearance of these growths in the intimate area causes a lot of concern. A person feels constant itching, feels uncomfortable during intimacy and may have a not very pleasant smell.
If the problem is identified in a woman, then she will be offered an examination. The treatment of the problem will depend directly on the specific diagnosis made by the doctors. If the formations have already become malignant, then surgery is performed, chemotherapy is used. When rejecting such a serious diagnosis, patients are still advised to remove the growths and perform antiviral therapy.
Plantar warts - the main features
Some HPV genotypes cause warts on the soles of the feet and soles of the feet. They often resemble ordinary corn, while being quite painful. The main characteristics of problematic formations of this type should be called the following external manifestations:
- in color, the growths are practically indistinguishable from skin color;
- extends slightly above skin level;
- they often resemble a small foot joint and have some mobility.
Discomfort from the growths occurs only because they appeared in such an area. Due to over-education, it is painful for a person to completely step on the foot, and if the papilloma is on the arm, then while performing a type of robot, there is great concern. It is necessary to remove such growths, because they can be damaged very easily, which often leads to blood poisoning.
Plantar warts have a low oncogenic level, but are quite dangerous for the fact that they are easily damaged without being noticed. With such a problem, it is necessary to carry out antiviral therapy, to remove the growth surgically, with laser or liquid nitrogen. A small wound remains after the operation, but it heals completely within a few days.
Basal-bottomed papillomas and senile warts
There are papillomas that appear exclusively in people of a certain age. These types of benign growths include basal-bottom papillomas. Such neoplasms are also considered senile warts (pictured).
In terms of appearance, such benign growths can be described as follows:
- in color practically do not differ from the standard skin color;
- fairly soft structure;
- slight elevation above skin level;
- variations in size - fairly large or small papillomas.
Such warts pose no risk. They can not be removed, but if desired, the patient can always choose the most comfortable type of therapy for himself. Such types of papillomas are quite visible in the picture, but in real life they are clearly visible during external examination.
additional information
In nature, there are about 150 species of papillomaviruses, 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 with which the person is infected.
People can develop warts of different types and sizes only after the body is very weakened, and if they notice such formations on the skin, then it is worth remembering and considering the following information:
- pointed papillomas or warts that join always have a very high level of risk;
- when warts appear on the soles of the feet, mucous membranes, palms, even if they belong to a safe variety, they should be removed without fail;
- you should not try to cut the warts of each type yourself, as this threatens to resume and infect the whole body.
Every human body has its own characteristics, which also affects how exactly the human papillomavirus can manifest.
If a person notices a certain type of wart on the body, is similar in description to one of the varieties shown, then you should immediately consult a doctor.
When education does not conform to the above descriptions, it should not be overlooked either, as it can all be provoked by HPV.
Why does this problem exist in almost every person? Experienced doctors have not yet been able to identify in detail, but experts have learned how to competently treat both external manifestations and the source of the problem. The external problem of each variety is an occasion for a visit to a medical specialist. You can not ignore this, because everything can end very seriously.
In custody
So if a person has an ordinary or flat wart, then he does not need to be afraid at all, but the pronounced growths do not always turn out to be benign, which is a reason for additional diagnosis and immediate treatment.
Senile warts also do not manifest in any way and quite often are not caused by HPV, but simply form due to age. Flat papillomas can become an age-related feature of adolescence and then disappear without a trace.
But you should not rely on this because the problem can be more serious. It is better to immediately go to a qualified medical specialist and solve the problem competently, so that later you do not encounter additional trouble.
Among warts of all types, there are completely safe neoplasms and those that can cause significant damage 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 varieties of the problem, but it makes no sense to try to treat it yourself.
