warts common.. Papule harsh skin colored or gray color with a velvety surface hyperkeratotic

warts common

Warts are small growths on the skin caused by a virus called human papillomavirus.
These are typically round bumps that can be flat or resemble cauliflower.
The virus is transmitted by contact and enters the body through small skin lesions.
Warts can appear anywhere on the body, but are typically found on the hands and feet.
Viral warts on the soles of the feet are often called plantar warts.
They can be treated with medications (applied directly to the wart) or frozen and once treated they can be repeated, since the virus usually leaves the skin after 2 years.

Risks:


The wart virus is spread by contact, making it contagious. The virus causes skin cells to multiply and produce a characteristic fleshy lump. Common warts can affect people of all ages. Children, young adults, and people with a weakened immune system tend to develop warts more easily than other people.

Symptoms:


A wart is a small fleshy lump that can either be flattened on top or resemble a cauliflower.
They can occur throughout the body, but usually appear on the hands and feet.
Warts are usually not painful.
The color can vary between white and red and skin color.
Some types of warts have small black dots in the middle.

Diagnosis:


A wart can usually be diagnosed just by looking at it at a doctor's office.
In some cases, small parts of the wart can be removed and sent to the laboratory to rule out other possible causes.

Treatment:


  • There are many methods to remove warts.
  • Often the first option is to apply a medication containing salicylic acid directly to the wart.
  • In a medical consultation, the wart can also be removed by freezing it by applying liquid nitrogen to the skin.
  • If not successful, alternative treatments may be prescribed.
  • Warts on the face are usually treated at a doctor's office to avoid damaging the skin.

Forecast:


Common warts are treatable but can come back.
It usually takes 2 years for the virus to leave the skin, and after that period the warts should not reappear unless an infection occurs again.

Of particular forms of warts.. Filamentous warts. Warts mucous membranes

Filamentous:

  • warts: be trunks long filamentous deposited on eyelids and chin and around the nose.
  • Warts mucous membranes: self arise from infection as a result of licking warts.
Warts are classified according to their location on the skin and their shape. Some of them appear in clusters (mosaic warts), while others appear as isolated growths. Most warts are painless, but some of them cause pain when touched. They can also cause warts of the feet. Pain when standing or walking. Black spots may appear on the warts, especially when the area is shaved.

Common warts

Common warts that appear in almost all people (also called verrucae vulgaris) are hard growths with often a rough surface. These warts are round or irregular in shape, light gray, yellow, brown or dark gray, and are usually less than 1 centimeter in diameter. In general, these warts appear on areas that get infected frequently, such as the knees, face, fingers, and elbows. Common warts may spread to the surrounding skin.

plantar warts and palmar warts

Plantar warts appear on the soles of the feet, usually flattened by the pressure of walking, and surrounded by thickened skin.

While palm warts appear on the palm of the hand.

Plantar and palmar warts tend to be hard, flat, with jagged surfaces, and well-pronounced edges. These warts are usually painful to palpation, and plantar warts can be very painful when standing or walking due to pressure on them. Warts may appear on the top of the foot or on the soles of the feet. Toes, where they are often more prominent and fleshy. Warts are often gray or brown with a small black center. In contrast to corns and calluses, plantar warts tend to bleed from many small spots, like the heads of pins, when a doctor shaves or cut the surface with a knife.

Mosaic warts

Mosaic warts are clusters of smaller plantar warts joined together. Like other plantar warts, they are often tender to palpation.

Periungal warts

Perungual warts are thick, cauliflower-like growths that appear around the nails. The nail may lose its cuticle, and other skin infections (such as paronychia) can develop around the nail. These warts are more common in people who bite their nails or work in jobs that make their hands excessively wet Chronic, such as washing dishes and serving drinks.

Filiform warts

Filiform warts are long, narrow, small growths that usually appear on the eyelids, face, neck or lips. This type of wart causes no symptoms and is usually easy to treat.

Flat warts

Flat warts, which are more common in children and young adults, appear as groups of smooth, flat-topped spots with a brownish-yellow, pinkish or skin-coloured color. They are most common on the face and the backs of the hands. They can also appear on scratch marks. The beard area in men and the legs in women are also common areas for flat warts, where they can be spread by shaving. This type of wart usually causes no symptoms, but it is often difficult to treat.

Genital warts, also called venereal warts or condylomata acuminata, appear on the penis, anus, vulva, vagina, and cervix. These warts can be flat, smooth, and velvety in texture, or irregular, with irregular growths, and often have a structure resembling small cauliflower. Warts around the anus often itch.

Warts.. Magnitude of the dermis and the thickness of the layers skin Alkeriatin. Fleshy growth kaleidoscopic

Magnitude of the dermis and the thickness of the layers skin Alkeriatin

Fleshy growth kaleidoscopic characterized by the magnitude of the dermis and the thickness of layers Alkeriatin in the skin and causing sinus by Alozm virus human Human papilloma virus (HPV) and can be caused by viral and it has several forms.

  • Warts or verrucae are small skin growths caused by infection with the human papillomavirus.
  • Warts are caused by human papillomaviruses.
  • Raised or flat growths appear on any part of the skin.
  • Most warts do not cause pain.
  • Doctors identify warts by their appearance or, rarely, by taking a biopsy.
  • Warts that do not go away on their own can be removed by using chemicals, freezing, burning, or cutting.
Warts are caused by infection with the human papilloma virus. There are more than 100 types of HPV.

Warts may appear at any age, but they are more common in children and less common in the elderly. A person may have one, two, or hundreds of warts. Warts are contagious. Because prolonged or frequent contact is necessary for the virus to spread, warts spread from an area in Most often from body to body, but it can also be passed from person to person. It usually takes weaknesses in the skin (such as scratches or abrasions) to spread, but these can be very small. Sexual contact is enough for warts to spread Usually the genital area.

Most warts are harmless to humans, although they can be very annoying, with the exception of certain types of genital warts that occur due to types of human papillomavirus that can cause cancer of the mouth, throat, or genital areas.

Treat warts Warts.. Salicylic acid. Liquid nitrogen. Eradicate warts surgically

Treat warts Warts

Keratolytics (salicylic acid applied daily until healing), and lead given liquid nitrogen or resort to eradicate warts   Surgically.

Diagnosis

In most cases, a doctor can diagnose a common wart using one or more of these techniques:

  • Wart examination
  • Scrape off the top layer of the wart to check for dark marks, fine points — clotted blood vessels —that are common with warts
  • Removing a small section of the wart (biopsy) and sending it to a lab for analysis to rule out other types of skin growths.

treatment

Most common warts disappear without treatment, although new warts may appear near them after a year or two. Some people prefer medical treatment for warts. Because home remedies have not worked and they are bothered by the appearance or spread of warts, or because of cosmetic concerns.

Treatment aims to remove the warts, stimulate the immune system to respond and fight the virus, or both. Treatment may take weeks or months. Warts may reappear or spread even with treatment. The doctor generally begins treatment using the least painful method, especially in the case of treating young children.

Your doctor may suggest one of the following methods, depending on where the warts appear, your symptoms, and your choices. These methods are sometimes used in combination with home remedies such as salicylic acid.

  • The most powerful peeling treatment (salicylic acid). A prescription-strength wart treatment using salicylic acid that removes layers of the wart a small amount at a time. Studies have shown that salicylic acid is more effective when used in combination with freezing.
  • Freezing (cryotherapy). Cryotherapy performed in a doctor's office involves applying liquid nitrogen to the wart. The cooling forms blisters under and around the wart. The dead tissue then sloughs off within a week or so. This method may also stimulate your immune system to fight off the wart viruses. You will often need to repeat the treatment.
  • Side effects of cryotherapy include pain, blisters, and skin discoloration of the treated area. This method can be painful, so it is not usually used to treat young children.
  • other acids. If salicylic acid or cooling do not work, the doctor may use trichloroacetic acid. In this method, the doctor scrapes the surface of the wart and then applies the acid with a wooden toothpick. The treatment should be repeated every week or so. Side effects include burning or stinging.
  • Minor surgery. The doctor can remove the irritating tissue. This may leave a scar in the treated area.
  • Laser therapy. Pulsed dye laser treatment burns (cauterizes) the tiny blood vessels. The infected tissue eventually dies and the wart disappears. Proof of effectiveness for this method is limited, and it can cause pain and scarring.
