Warts are the widespread high-quality education on skin of the person caused by some types of a virus which are transmitted by means of direct contact or through use objects.

Warts represent the dense, dry, painless high-quality new growths, size from a pin head to the sizes of a 5-kopeck coin  towering over the surface of skin, covered with furrows or the keratosic nipples.

Symptoms of Warts:

Warts – the infectious high-quality new growths of skin having an appearance of a small knot or a nipple. Among them distinguish ordinary warts, flat, sharp-pointed condylomas and senile warts. Types of warts in the place of education: genital warts (including warts on vulvar lips), head and person warts, and also corporal warts.

Ordinary warts. Ordinary warts – dense, dry, limited, painless, keratosic eminences with an uneven fleecy surface, size from a pin head to a pea which can merge, forming big plaques. Most often are located on hands.

Bottom warts. It is a kind of ordinary warts. Bottom warts develop in places of pressure footwear, especially at strongly sweating. Very dense, the keratosic, gray and dirty color bottom warts differ in the strong morbidity interfering walking; remind a callosity. Sometimes cause temporary disability.

Flat warts (or juvenile warts). Flat, or youthful, warts arise usually at children and young people. Have an appearance roundish or irregular shape of flat small knots which are located on a dorsum of hands, and also on face skin. Emergence of flat warts is promoted by irritation of skin (arise quite often on the course of scratches, cuts, etc.).

Sharp-pointed condylomas. These are the smallest pink color small knots which, merging, form sosochkoobrazny growth of a soft consistence on the basis in the form of a leg. Develop on generative organs, in inguinal and mezhjyagodichny folds more often at the unscrpulous maintenance of skin which can catch from the sexual partner. For this reason them often call venereal.

Senile warts, age keratomas. Senile warts, or age keratomas, develop at elderly people, at the same time they are not connected with a viral infection. By the form they remind the plaques of gray, brown or black color covered friable impregnated with skin fat, horn masses. They are located mainly on a face, a neck and a trunk.

Also other warts of the most unusual forms meet – for example, the warts similar to a cauliflower most of which often meet on a neck and the head of people, and especially often skin which is under head hair suffers from such warts.

Reasons of Warts:

Warts are caused by a virus therefore they can be transferred to other parts of a body and be transferred to people around. It is possible to catch a virus anywhere, but 2 factors are necessary for developing of warts: disturbance of integrity of skin (scratch, mosquito stings, agnails and others) and decrease in immunity.

Warts slowly develop and can die off without treatment. But if they do not disappear and their number increases, they should be deleted.

Treatment of Warts:

The only radical method of treatment of warts is their removal.

Cryolysis. A method of removal of warts by means of the low temperatures causing death of fabrics owing to deep freezing.
Traditional gas – liquid nitrogen. Freezing by liquid nitrogen is carried out by means of the applicator representing a wooden stick 25 - 30 cm long for which end densely fix a tampon from cotton wool. Usual warts process, putting the applicator perpendicularly to a wart with small pressure. Time of freezing depends on wart size – 10-30 seconds. Working temperature reaches  –180 degrees Celsius that sometimes leads to deep burns and hems.

Removal by the laser. One of the newest methods of removal of warts is use of the laser by means of which layer-by-layer removal of a wart under local anesthesia in 1-2 minutes is made. Penetration depth and time of influence of a laser beam depend on depth and localization of education. On site removals of a wart there is a small deepening which is leveled in 2 weeks.

Electrothermic coagulation. It is a way of removal of warts by means of a surgical coagulator (under local anesthesia). Instant heating of fabrics allows to avoid bleeding and distribution of the cells infected with a virus to healthy fabrics. After influence of current the small crust which disappears on average in a week is formed. But during deep removal of a wart there can be a light, hardly noticeable flat hem. This way painful is also followed by an unpleasant spetsifitsesky smell during the procedure.

Surgical excision. If warts represent extensive educations, then such method of removal of warts as surgical excision is applied. It is small operation, it is carried out under local anesthesia, with imposing of intradermal cosmetic seams which are removed for the 7th day. After treatment there is light thin (2 - 3 mm) a flat hem.
