What are papillomas and what do they look like

In this article, we'll cover the following:

• What is papilloma;
• Why was it created.
• is more common in men and women;
• Typical papilloma.

Papillomas are benign tumors that are localized on the skin and mucous membranes. The reason for their formation is the human papillomavirus (HPV), which is transmitted in various ways. The appearance of configurations depends on the type of virus that caused them.

Transmission Paths

HPV is transmitted by:

• During sexual intercourse, including the anus, mouth, and genitals
• Home. Microorganisms are able to exist on infected personal items, hygiene items, and towels. Easily penetrates scratches and wounds on the skin.
• During labor from mother to child

A spontaneous infection may occur if the virus is transferred from one part of the body to another, which usually occurs when shaving and hair removal.

The incubation period (the period from the entry of HPV into the body to the appearance of signs of pathology) ranges from several weeks to several years.

Papillomas appear on the body most often during illness, pregnancy, alcohol abuse, psychological and emotional stress, hypothermia, accompanied by a decrease in the immune defense. The incidence of these formations in men and women is the same.

HPV: Types

Depending on the risk of developing oncological pathologies on the skin, mucinous papillomaviruses belong to the following groups:

• Low risk of tumors (HPV 3, 6, 11, 13, 32, 34, 72, 73, 40-44, 51, 61 types).
• mesothelioma risk (HPV types 52, 56, 58, 30, 35, 45).
• A high risk of developing malignant processes (HPV 50, 59, 16, 18, 64, 68, 70, 31, 33, 39 species).

Microorganisms with a low risk of cancer cause benign growths on the skin and mucous membranes.

types of papilloma

Simple

They are also called banal and banal. This increase is most often caused by HPV types 26-29, 77, 63, 41.

The tingling and burning sensation appears in any part of the body. Subsequently, the growth of a spherical formation is observed, the surface of which gradually becomes rough. At first, the lump is flesh-colored, and then darkens. The size of the papilloma on the body is from 1 mm to

cm

These tumors are single and multiple. In the latter case, small daughter papillomas are located around the mother, formed first, and usually the largest of all.

Their localization is the back of the hands, fingers, the spaces between them, the chin area, and the edges of the lips. There are such papillomas on the neck. Baby's knees are affected, because babies often crawl, and they become infected through small lesions on the skin.

plantar

People with these formations are infected with HPV types 1, 2, and 4. The growths resemble dry calluses, but have a number of distinct differences.

The pattern of the skin is preserved on the tissue, its absence on the surface of the papilloma, the latter being smooth. The formation caused by the papillomavirus is painful, and unpleasant sensations increase when wearing pressure shoes. Inside a papilloma, black points are noticeable, and they are absent in the tissue.

tumors sometimes self-destroy, and it is more common in children. Sometimes small bubbles appear around the lump. The latter transforms into new papillomas over time.

Papillomatosis

The growth of a round, elongated oval, raised 1-2 millimeters above the skin level. Flat papillomas are located around the mouth, face, and upper half of the body. Sometimes papillomas form on the neck.

There are data on papillomas on the labia and cervix of girls and the penis in men in the rectum near the anus. These formations are located in groups, which merge with each other. Papillomas of flat color, which are sometimes slightly darker than the rest of the skin, are formed under the influence of 10, 49, 28 types of papillomavirus.< / pixel >

interconnected

If people notice small papillomas appear on the neck, then the polyps are often thread-like. The second name for the assortments isacrochordus. The latter is caused by 2, 7 ​​types of HPV.

In the initial stage, the papilloma on the neck looks like small yellow seals, then the appendages extend, become rough and acquire a round, elongated, thread-like shape. The hallmark of a similar papilloma on the neck is the thin leg.

Most often, acrochordus forms in men and women over the age of 40. Tumors also occur on the skin of the upper eyelids, armpits, and mammary glands in the intimate area.

Tapered

The configuration dataare called warts,are caused by types 6, 11, 44, 42, 54, 51, 55, 89 of HPV in women and men.

Condylomas are small, single, multiple lesions of flesh-colored, localized on the male female genitals, around the anus. There are papillomas in the vagina, labia minora, and cervix. In men, condylomas are located on the foreskin, head of the penis, inside the urethra.

The separate elements sometimes merge with each other, and a tumor-like formation appears, outwardly similar to the comb of a rooster, cauliflower. Tumors grow very rapidly, and an extensive lesion can form within a few hours.

Pathology has a repetitive course. It is more severe with concomitant sexually transmitted diseases of the genitourinary system (for example, chlamydia, gonorrhea, mycoplasmosis).

Condylomas that form on the cervix, especially inside the cervical canal, are most dangerous during pregnancy. Hormonal changes stimulate rapid growth, followed by tissue decomposition, and then secondary infection.< / pixel >

oral papilloma

Their appearance is associated with the activity of papillomaviruses 6, 7, 11, 72, 73, 57 and 32 types. Formations are rounded formations on a thin or wide base. The mucous membrane around them is pale pink, without any visible pathological changes. The surface increases its color pale pink, white.

Tumors are single and multiple, painless when pressed. Located in the lower part of the oral cavity, the back of the tongue, hard palate, soft palate, laryngeal mucosa, its size ranges from 2 mm to 2 cm.

An overgrowth of the mucous membrane of the mouth bleeds if bitten, becomes dark due to blood flow in it. The state of health does not deteriorate in the presence of such a disease, the oral cavity opens freely.

When an adult individual growth is present on the soft palate, tonsils, and glottis, there is a feeling of a foreign body, a cough, the voice becomes hoarse. If the lesions become multiple, these symptoms are exacerbated.

In children, pathological developmental states are often bilateral, and their occurrence is accompanied by the following symptoms:

• Difficulty inhaling and exhaling after physical exertion and then at full rest.
• Cough after running, play a lot.
• suffocating attacks withstenosis of the larynx (pathological narrowing that prevents air from entering the lower respiratory tract).

The appearance of different papillomas is externally related to infection with different types of HPV. To remove neoplasms, you must consult a doctor. This should be done as soon as possible if the papillomas are multiple, rapidly increase in size, cause discomfort, and are constantly infected.
