If a strong and tough papule appears with a rough elite on the toes, then this is either a planar wart or a corn.The differences are significant, mainly in the methods of origin and treatment.A wart as a sharp stroke grows in the inner layer of the skin of the foot, which is why severe pain appears.Doctors recommend removing such a skin tumor if damaged by shoes and inflamed.
The emergence of growth in the only toes
The main part of an ordinary leg in the foot grows inside, in the dermis.The reason is that the tumor squeezes the tumor of solid surfaces: shoes, different clothing on which we walk.New growth cells appear from the soft tissue of the skin.In the plant of the plantar wart, a dense plaque or roller is visible outside.The surface of the formation is free from the skin lines, consisting of the scales of a stratumin substance.The adjacent skin changes: it becomes denser, covered with a layer of keratin.
What looks like planar warts:
- a pack or plaque raised above the epidermis by 1-5 mm;
- The shape is round, oval or polygonal;
- The surface is strong and rough to the touch;
- The color is pink, white or gray;
- The formation diameter is from 1 to 20 mm;
- There is no papillary model;
- The edges are clearly described.
A standing wart is characterized by acute pain, interfering with walking, to temporary disability.
Growths arise in areas that experience pressure and strong sweat.Typical decay localization in the only: heel, foot and fingertips.Painful and difficult to eliminate the formations appear on the edge of the nail and under the nail plate.Within warts of all kinds, blood vessels pass, feeding live tissue, cells that multiply intensely.Small black spots are visible on the surface - blood clots in the capillaries;They can bleed when cutting the corneum of the layer.
Most often, the planar type of warts occurs in school children.At approximately 30% of patients, such formations develop independently during the first year.However, it is recommended to start treatment when the first symptoms appear, especially if it hurts plantar warts, or a high risk of infection of the surrounding people.An infection is also dangerous when a set of formations appears in a section, individual papules join a mosaic plaque.
Warta - a manifestation of papilloma virus
The skin on the feet is often damaged, squeezed and sweaty when wearing tight and unpleasant shoes.If the bladder with a thin wall with transparent fluid inside, then these are corn.Sometimes a layer of keratin on the surface is formed, but even in this case the typical lines of the skin are stored.
The appearance of a lyonia on the heels of the feet first remains unnoticed or perceived as the formation of a corn.We need to look carefully at the surface of education and pay attention to the characteristic features.This is severe keratinization, lack of skin lines, pain in compression of the surrounding skin.These are the results of the active reproduction of the papilloma virus in the living epithelial cells.
Causes of plantar warts:
- Papilloma virus infection (HPV);
- weakening local and general immune protection;
- activation of the virus, penetration into epithelial cells;
- Enlarged spread and rapid keratinization of infected cells.
HPV is transmitted by household and sexual contacts.Infectious agents also penetrate through minor damage to the skin and mucous membranes: cracks, cuttings, crying.
Papilloma viruses of types 1, 2, 4, 27 and 57 mainly infect cells located on the skin of the feet.The planar variety of viral growth belongs to simple (common, vulgar) formations.According to the international classification of diseases, they are infectious and parasitic diseases.MKB-10 classes: "Viral infections characterized by skin lesions and mucous membranes."
Simple warts are benign epithelium tumors.Initially they do not pose a health risk.Sometimes such growth undergo malignant degeneration with transformation in a cancer tumor.The process is more likely to start the types of HPV, for which a high risk of developing oncology is established.
Treatment of warts in the legs
After the infection, the incubation period begins: the papilloma virus enters the cells, "reforming" their reproduction and development.Most often, the infection passes into a latent form and in such a inactive state can exist throughout the life of the body.In this case, immunity suppresses the pressure of the papilloma virus, translates into sleep mode without special therapy.
Sifty warts can appear after 3-10 years or occur a few weeks after infection, then disappear in the first year or within two years.
Not everyone is ready to wait for a spontaneous cure and skin cleansing from growth.Many are advised with a doctor in the first signs of HPV infection.Dermatologists propose to use modern methods of removing warts, recommending tools for antiviral therapy, strengthening skin immunity and the whole organism.
If for an adequate selection of therapy it is necessary to determine the type of HPV, then the doctor prescribes some additional studies.A biopsy is performed for a histological material, an analysis is performed to determine antibodies to the papilloma virus.
Treatment options:
- Use of special medicines from planar warts.There is a dissolution and exfoliation of dead cells.
- Laser extraction of simple neoplasms with the formation of a scabies under which healing is developing.The crust disappears 7-10 days after the procedure.
- Cryodestruction with liquid nitrogen.Large warts are removed for some procedures.When exposed to low temperatures, a bubble appears, as after a burning.
- Electrocoagulation using an electrode through which a high frequency current is supplied, which destroys pathological fabrics.A painful procedure is associated with a strong odor of burnt skin.
- Surgical removal.
- Drug injections.
At the beginning of treatment, it is recommended to use a special layer in the house.This accessible tool is used after softening the wart in the foot with warm water, cleaning the keratinizing layers using manicure and pips scissors.Then apply a patch.The course of treatment lasts on average 1-3 months.
PREVENTION
Papilloma viruses are able to continue in the environment for a long time.It is necessary to maintain the cleanliness of the legs, not to walk without shoes, especially in public closet rooms, bathrooms, in the pool.It is necessary to use special slippers to protect the heels of the feet from surface contacts, contaminated particles of other people's skin.Also, you should not wear other people's socks and shoes.
You cannot scratch the wart, otherwise such growths will arise in other parts of the foot.
Papilloma viruses are extremely contagious.With daily hygiene procedures and treatment for the application of medication, it is necessary to disinfect accessories.Ockseaps and towels for the feet should be thoroughly washed with hot water, scissors, a nail file, disinfected the pumice.Be sure to wash your hands with soap after touched education, various therapeutic procedures.
