Papillomas or warts are the most common disease.The presence of growths on the skin is observed in 80% of the population.This defect is caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV).Neoplasms can occur on any part of the body: on the neck, hands, face, external genitalia, as well as in internal visceral organs.However, at first glance, these non -dangerous neoplasms can be reborn into malignant formations and cause melanoma - skin cancer.
Papillomas are formed from the surface skin epithelium (warts) and mucosa of internal organs (condyloma).They can have a different shape, for example, rounded or pin -shaped, mainly rising above the skin and have a typical color.Each wart has the same type of structure: the base formed from connective tissue (elasticity of the stroma skeleton gives collagen and elastin, as part of loose fibrous tissue), and blood capillaries located in the center of warts.
Why are small papillomas on the body
The only reason for the appearance of any growths on the body is the defeat of HPV, as a result of the weakening of the immune system.There are about 120 known types of virus.Infection most often occurs after an inflammatory process.The viral activity of HPV depends on the immune status and individual response of the human body.
Minor damage to the skin, various microtraumas, violation of the epidermal barrier allow the virus to penetrate the upper layers of the skin.This virus does not circulate with a blood flow, but is located directly in the dermis.Therefore, the incubation period is at least 3 and no more than 5 months.It proceeds with hidden symptoms.Only after 5 months will there be noticeable clinical changes.Double DNA spiral, which is part of it, provides relapses of the disease, even after an immune response or clinical cure, since a single DNA is preserved in the epidermis cells.
There are four main causes of infection with the virus:
- The contact-household cause is bodily contact (handshake) with the carrier of this virus, as well as the use of the patient’s personal hygiene.
- The oppressed effect of the general and local immune system, on the basis of the existing inflammatory process or constant stress.
- From mother - to the child (anogenital warts).It is transmitted at birth and has a high risk of progression and a large distribution area.
- Sexual contact with a patient with HPV in 50% of cases.
Infection by contact-household is in the first place in terms of the number of sick.Hands are the most open and not protected part of the body.Therefore, small papillomas often appear on hand.
Papillomas are divided into several morphological classifications.
The size is distinguished: small papillomas and large ones.
In the form of warts there are:
- Ordinary- are localized on the free belt of the upper limbs: the palmar surface of the hand, phalanx of the fingers, elbow, the back of the hand.They have a spherical shape.
- Simple- They meet throughout the body, more often located on the neck and hands.They look like a gray bubble towering above the skin.
- Sharp- They look like a roostyous crest.In appearance, small and white, pin -shaped.
- Seborrheic keratosis- These are age -related warts.Keratinized, not bearing pathogenic character because of a different origin.
- Shipitsa- The most rough and hard.Often large and highly located above the skin.
In places of location: plantar (hands and feet), flat (papillomas on the body), ordinary (hands), “butcher” warts (on the sole surface of the foot).
Etiology of warts: congenital and acquired.
Most often, small papillomas may appear among patients.And it is this type that is able to form groups.
What is the danger of small papillomas
The danger of small papillomas lies in the fact that they are little noticeable on the body and can appear unexpectedly.This increases the risk of HPV infection.
