In essence, papillomas on the body are benign neoplasms of the skin, but, oddly enough, in modern dermatology are considered a viral disease, therefore, when they are detected, you need to consult a specialist, since such an insignificant node can later cause cancer.
Papillomas on the body are a kind of skin growths that have a color ranging from dark brown to milky. In order to understand whether papillomas need to be removed, it is necessary to track the dynamics of this pathological process, and also to establish the reasons for its development.
First of all, it is necessary to clarify that such an infection, penetrating the epithelial tissue, does not reveal itself for a long time, and begins to progress only against the background of weakened immunity for some reason or impaired endocrine system. Often, such an anomaly is formed during pregnancy or as a result of severe emotional stress. But this is not limited to this, since papillomas on the body can affect patients of all age categories, as well as progress in the presence of internal diseases and prolonged use of medications.
It is necessary to realize that papillomavirus infection is only the beginning of all problems, since it, strengthening on the epithelial layer of the mucous membranes and skin of the patient, entails the formation of more serious growths on the skin. This pathology is asymptomatic in the body and, in principle, does not harm the health of its "owner", however, many doctors are clearly convinced that papillomas on the body are a characteristic sign of internal imbalance.
Such neoplasms on the skin bring a lot of inconvenience, discomfort and continuous complexes to many patients regarding their appearance, so they prefer to eliminate these skin defects as soon as possible.
Modern medicine offers several ways to get rid of papillomas, and it is a question of both their productive treatment and the equally effective removal. In the latter case, cauterization of papillomas is recommended.
Such a procedure can be carried out using liquid nitrogen, and this method is valid for a variety of growths in size and location. Also, salicylic acid is used to eliminate the disease. This method is quite effective, but the course of treatment is very tedious and long. Papillomas can be cauterized with trichloroacetic acid or podophyllin benzoin solution, however, skin allergies can aggravate after such manipulations .
If we talk about the latest methods of destroying papillomas, we should focus on the method of electrocoagulation using a laser. Such scientific advances make it possible not only to completely remove a pathogenic growth on the skin, but also to stop bleeding, however, anesthesia should be used to use it.
All the above methods for removing papillomas are very productive, but it is important to understand that the pathogenic virus in the body does not disappear anywhere, regardless of the chosen method of destroying papillomas. In this regard, it is not easy to eliminate it, you need to regularly treat the affected area of the skin with antiviral drugs after the cauterization procedure, and it is also recommended to take means to increase immunity as a prophylaxis. Treatment of papillomas is often carried out during an exacerbation.
If a papilloma is detected, it is urgent to consult a dermatologist, unauthorized removal of the papilloma is strictly prohibited, since such actions can lead to irreversible consequences.
