The rapid growth and appearance of a large number of papillomas is considered a strong argument for choosing a method to remove these formations and for choosing an effective antiviral treatment.
Why do papules appear on the body?
The reason for the formation of papillomas in the body is the human papillomavirus, which can penetrate the epithelial layer of the skin through smaller cuts, abrasions, wounds.
You can become infected with a microorganism through close physical contact with a person with HPV or a carrier of this infection.
For a long time, the virus maintains its viability in a humid and hot environment, and therefore there is a possibility of infection when you visit public baths, saunas, health centers.
Often, the transmission of the pathogen from papillomas takes place through the use of individual hygiene items by many people - towels, nail clippers, towels.
When a virus is infected through sexual contact, papillomas or rather genital warts develop more often in the genitals and areas of the body next to them, less often found in other areas.
After HPV infection, it may not manifest for a long time and in some patients it is destroyed by the immune system within two years. The activation of the virus and, consequently, the appearance of papillomas in the body occurs if the human body is affected by factors that cause the disease.
These factors include:
- Reduced function of defenders.
- The negative impact of depressive states, stress.
- Long-term smoking and alcohol abuse.
- Long-term treatment with antibiotics and oral contraceptives.
- Disorders of the digestive system. Frequent recurrent acute respiratory infections, influenza.
Women are more likely to have nipples. Men are more often carriers of this virus, but their external manifestations worry far less than fair sex.
Obese people with excessive sweating have an increased risk of developing papilloma and are formed mainly in the folds of the skin. Nipples can appear at any time, their development is not excluded in children.
Detection and symptoms
You can notice the formation of unusual growths on any part of the body, including the scalp, soles, natural folds.
Skin tumors can have different sizes, colors, shapes. The appearance of the papilloma on the body depends on the type of virus that the person is infected with.
HPV, which leads to the growth of papules on the skin, refers to non-oncogenic or low-oncogenic types of microorganisms and therefore in most cases such formations are benign.There are several types of nipples that can affect any part of the body, including:
- Coarse or protozoan papillaelook like small areas of flesh or slightly dark seals. There are no subjective senses in the process of their development, but they begin to develop in most people from their hands and fingers.
- Thread.First, a small spot appears on the body, which eventually extends in length. At the end of this formation there is a growth in the form of a droplet, and it connects to the skin through a thin leg. Increases
- Plantarare characterized by discomfort and pain when walking. Plantar papillae are often confused with common calluses.
- Levelsnipples rise slightly above the skin, prone to fusion. In color, they are practically no different from other skins on the body.
In some cases, before papules appear on the body, people may notice itching and a slight burning sensation at the site of growth of the virus-altered epithelial cells.
The formation of more than one hundred viral tumors in the body is commonly referred to as papillomas. When warts and papillomas are injured, bleeding and lack of proper hygiene occur, and when you do not wear very clean linen, secondary infection with inflammation and other unpleasant symptoms is possible.
Infection is also possible, which occurs when the nipples are scratched and during further spread of the virus from the original focus to other areas of the skin.
Nipples on the body are a more aesthetic problem. Many people, observing the increases in open areas of the body, begin to feel self-doubt and develop depressive states. Growing nipples have their own characteristics, depending on where they form.
Armpit augmentation
Nipples form in the armpits, which do not differ from other viral growths, but have their own course characteristics. Below the armpits, you often see small nodules, yellowish or brown in color. These nodules hang and attach to the skin with one foot.
Initially, a tumor may appear, after several, they may merge with each other and this growth resembles a cauliflower.
Armpit papillae are prone to inflammation. The culprit for this is the sweat secreted from this zone, it irritates the growth, which leads to itching, scratching and infection.
Nipple growths under the armpits can be touched when shaving or wearing very tight clothing. Injury causes bleeding, contributes to the spread of the virus to neighboring areas of the body.
Eyelids
Papules that develop over the centuries are clearly visible to others, and therefore cause a lot of moral pain to their owners, especially young girls. But this problem is not only aesthetic. Increasing training often interferes with flashing, obstructs the examination of objects and this leads to deterioration of visual function.
Eyelid papillae differ in appearance. It can be both flat and convex growth, which in most cases has a rough surface. The filamentous papillae that develop on the upper eyelid obstruct the visual field and make it difficult for women to apply makeup. It is impossible to remove formations on your own in the eye area - an incorrectly selected agent causes burns to the conjunctiva and cornea.
Lips
Lip nipples are most often represented by flat or drooping forms. Initially, a slight swelling develops, which matches the color with the main tone of the lips. Gradually, such a formation may become lighter or darker. With the prolonged presence of the papilla on the lips, it becomes keratinized and its outer surface becomes white.
Depending on the location of the nipples on the lips, accompanying changes occur, there may be cracks around the tumor, dryness. Some warts interfere with speech or eating, and as a result are injured and there is inflammation in the contour of the lips - cheilitis.
Nose
When found on the face, warts often choose the nose as the site of growth. Nipples can form both outside the wings of the nose, by the diaphragm and inside. And if an external condyle spoils the appearance, then the internal tumors in some cases disrupt the process of normal respiration and can become inflamed in case of a cold.
Transient cells and inverted viral papillae have the ability to invade deep-seated tissues, including the bone structures of the nose. In this case, bone destruction occurs and there is a risk of the papillae turning into malignant formations.
In the groin area
In the groin area, two types of papillae are usually detected, these are genital warts and filamentous tumors - stitch.
In women, viral formations are located in the vagina, cervix, often grow on the lips and in the area next to the groin. In men, papillae in the groin appear on the penis. On examination, they are detected in the urethra itself, in the anus.Several filamentous formations can quickly turn into an entire development network, which will look like a margin in appearance. When the nipples are inside the vagina, there is a risk of infection, injury and inflammation, which can be understood by the appearance of a burning sensation, discharge and an unpleasant odor.
There is a spontaneous disappearance of papillomas in every fifth person, but there is also a high risk of genital warts degenerating into malignant tumors. In this regard, when increases occur in the groin, it is always necessary to undergo a complete diagnosis, which allows the detection of oncogenicity of the virus.
Hands and feet
Papules that grow on the skin of the upper and lower extremities have different structure, color, growth rate and spread. More warts appear on the fingers, near the nails. Ordinary and flat papillae often develop on the hands. Warts are dense to the touch, the surface is slightly rough, if the original formation is damaged, there is a risk of new papillae appearing nearby.
Papillomas occur more often in children, which is related to the peculiarities of the skin and the high susceptibility of the child's body to infections. In babies, flat warts are often found on the knees, as babies crawl a lot. Plantar papillae develop in the legs, which are characterized by burning and pain when walking.
It is possible to distinguish papillomas from corns in the absence of a skin pattern in the viral growths. Young, healthy people with a well-functioning immune system within three to four months
Head
Nipples on the scalp look like loose plaques.
The color of these formations is from flesh to dark brown.
At the beginning of its growth, such a plaque is invisible, but as it grows in size, there is a risk of injury when combing the hair.
Head nipples are more common in the elderly, but such formations rarely degenerate into cancerous ones.
Risk of viruses
If you notice inflammation, release of various secretions, ichor, painful sensations, you should consult a doctor as soon as possible for advice.
Genital warts in the groin and genitals have a high risk score. Such increases are mainly caused by the activation of the oncogenic virus type and therefore require increased attention.
During the diagnosis, the strain of the causative agent of the disease is identified and based on the whole examination, the removal method and the regimen of the antiviral treatment are selected.
Diagnostics
When a patient is referred to a dermatologist, a preliminary diagnosis is made during an external examination. In the presence of an increase in the genitals, it is necessary to determine the strain of the virus, which is achieved by diagnostic PCR.
Women also undergo colposcopy, have cytological tests and, if necessary, prescribe a biopsy of the material taken from the site of the damaged tissue.If an oncogenic type of virus is detected, additional testing should be performed twice a year.
How to deal with nipples on the body and face?
People do not always decide to remove the nipples on the body. For some, they do not interfere at all, for others they are located in closed areas of the body.
However, doctors recommend that you start treatment for papillomas if: head, legs, arm and groin. In men, there is a high probability of nipples scratching the face when shaving.
The doctor often offers a comprehensive treatment for viral formations. It involves removing all growths and taking antiviral and immunomodulatory drugs.
It is important to understand that it will not be possible to completely remove the virus from the skin, you can only carry it in an inactive state, which will be maintained throughout life with high immunity. In addition to the main treatment, alternative therapies are used.
Modern removal methods
Modern medicine offers dozens of methods for removing the papillae of the human body.
This is exposure to lasers and radio waves, liquid nitrogen destruction and heat coagulation. Chemical methods are also used, ie the application of various solutions and ointments that destroy the tuber.
When the papules are on the upper and lower eyelids, they are removed with liquid nitrogen (cryopreservation) or using a laser. The thin skin on the face and eyelids has a high tendency to form scars, therefore, the nipples located in these places should be removed only by professional doctors.
It is recommended to destroy flat formations on the lips with laser and filaments with electrocoagulation.How to get rid of HPV with medication
You can also get rid of papillomas on the body with the help of medicines used externally. Their application destroys the virus and promotes the gradual destruction of the accumulation; after several procedures, the papilla disappears.
In the presence of a large number of papillae in the body and genitals, it is imperative that you undergo medication. It consists of taking systemic antiviral agents and drugs, the mechanism of action of which is to increase the function of the immune system.
The dosage of drugs and the total time of their administration are selected on an individual basis.
Folk remedies
