If a harsh, rough papula with a rough elite appears on the legs of the legs, this is a plantar wart or a corn.The differences are significant, especially in methods of origin and treatment.A wart like a clear peak grows on the inner layer of the skin of the foot, which is why severe pain occurs.Doctors recommend removing a skin tumor if damaged by shoes and inflamed.
The appearance of growth in the sole of the legs
The main part of a common wart in the foot grows inside, in the dermis.The reason is that the tumor tightens the tumor of solid surfaces: shoes, various coatings in which we walk.New growth cells appear from the soft tissues of the skin.In the picture of the plantar wart, a dense plate or roll is visible outside.The surface of the formation is devoid of skin lines, it consists of scales of a stratuminal substance.Adjacent skin changes: it becomes denser, covered with a layer of keratin.
How is the plantar wart:
- a package or plate raised above the epidermis at 1-5 mm;
- The shape is round, oval or polygonal;
- The surface is solid and rough to the touch;
- The color is pink, white or grayish;
- The diameter of the training is 1 to 20 mm;
- There is no papillary pattern;
- The edges are clearly described.
A wart on the foot is characterized by acute pain, interfering with the walk, to the temporary disability.
Growths appear in areas that undergo strong pressure and sweat.Typical location of the umbrella in sole: heels, foot pillows and fingers.Painful and difficult to eliminate the formations appear on the edge of the nail and under the nail plate.Within the warts of all kinds, blood vessels pass, feeding living tissues, intensively multiplying cells.Small black points are visible on the surface - blood clots in the capillaries;They can bleed by cutting the stratum corneum.
Most of the time, the type of plantar wart occurs in school -age children.In approximately 30% of patients, these formations occur independently during the first year.However, it is recommended to start treatment when the first symptoms appear, especially if the plantar wart hurts or a high risk of infection of neighboring people.An infection is also dangerous when a group of formations appears in a section, individual papules merge into a mosaic plate.
Versa - A manifestation of the papilloma virus
The skin on the feet is often damaged, squeezed and sweat when wearing nearby and uncomfortable shoes.If the bubbles with thin walls with transparent liquid appear, they are grains.Sometimes a layer of keratin is formed on the surface, but even in this case the typical skin lines are preserved.
The appearance of a wart on the leg soles remains unnoticed or perceived as the formation of a corn.We must look carefully to the surface of education and pay attention to characteristics.This is strong keratinization, the lack of skin lines, pain in the compression of the surrounding skin.These are the results of active reproduction of papilloma virus in living epithelium cells.
Causes of plantar warts:
- Papilloma virus infection (HPV);
- weakening of local and general immune defense;
- Virus activation, penetration in epithelial cells;
- Enhanced propagation and rapid keratinization of infected cells.
HPV is transmitted with domestic and sexual contacts.Infectious agents even penetrate small damage to the skin and mucous membranes: cracks, cuts, crying.
Type 1, 2, 4, 27 and 57 papilloma viruses, mainly infect cells located on the skin of the feet.The viral growth plantar variety belongs to simple (common, vulgar) formations.According to the international classification of diseases, they are infectious and parasitic diseases.MKB-10 class: "viral infections characterized by skin lesions and mucous membranes".
Simple warts are benign epithelium tumors.They initially do not pose a health risk.Sometimes these growths are subjected to malignant degeneration with transformation into 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 on the Foot
After infection, the incubation period begins: the papilloma virus is introduced into cells, “reform” its reproduction and development.More often, infection passes in a latent form and, in such an inactive state, can exist throughout the life of the body.In this case, immunity suppresses the papilloma virus, translates into suspension mode without special therapy.
Heavy warts may appear after 3 to 10 years or appear a few weeks after the infection and then disappear in the first year or two years.
Not everyone is ready to wait for spontaneous healing and skin cleansing.Many consult a doctor in the first signs of HPV infection.Dermatologists propose to use modern wart removal methods, recommend means for antiviral therapy, strengthening skin immunity and the whole organism.
If, for proper selection of therapy, it is necessary to establish the type of HPV, the doctor prescribes further studies.A biopsy is performed for histological material, an analysis is performed to determine papilloma virus antibodies.
Treatment Options:
- The use of special drugs of plantar warts.There is a dissolution and exfoliation of dead cells.
- Laser excision of simple neoplasms with the formation of a crust, under which healing is underway.The crust disappears 7 to 10 days after the procedure.
- Cryodestruction with liquid nitrogen.Large warts are removed for various procedures.When exposed to low temperatures, a bubble appears, as after a burn.
- Electrocoagulation using an electrode through which a high frequency current is provided, which destroys pathological tissues.A painful procedure is accompanied by a strong smell of burning skin.
- Surgical removal.
- Drug injections.
At the beginning of treatment, it is recommended to use a special layer at home.This accessible tool is used after softening the wart on the foot with warm water, cleaning of keratinized layers using manicure and stone scissors.Then apply a patch.The course of treatment lasts an average of 1 to 3 months.
Prevention
Papilloma viruses are able to persist in the environment for a long time.It is necessary to maintain the cleaning of the feet, not walking without shoes, especially in public locker rooms, bathrooms, in the pool.Special flip flops are required to protect contact leg soles with surfaces, contaminated particles from other people's skin.Also, you should not wear other people's socks and shoes.
You cannot scratch the wart, otherwise these growths will emerge in other parts of the leg.
Papilloma viruses are extremely contagious.With daily hygiene and treatment procedures to apply medications, it is necessary to disinfect accessories.The socks and the towel for the legs should be well washed with hot water, scissors, a nail file, disinfected from the stone -pammers.Be sure to wash your hands with soap after playing in education, various therapeutic procedures.
