If a hard and rough papule with a rough elite appears on the feet of the legs, it is either a plantar wart or a corn.The differences are significant, mainly in the methods of origin and treatment.A wart like a clear point develops in the inner layer of the skin of the foot, which is why intense pain occurs.Doctors recommend eliminating such a skin tumor if they are damaged by shoes and ignited.
The appearance of growth on the sole of the legs
The main part of an ordinary wart on the foot grows inside, in the dermis.The reason is that the tumor tightens the tumor of solid surfaces: shoes, various coatings on which we are walking.New growth cells appear from soft tissue of the skin.In the photo of the plantar wart, a dense plate or roller is visible outside.The surface of the formation is devoid of skin lines, consists of scales of a stratuminal substance.The adjacent skin changes: it becomes denser, covered with a layer of keratin.
What the plantar wart looks like:
- a packet or a plate high above the epidermis of 1 to 5 mm;
- The shape is round, oval or polygonal;
- The surface is solid and rough to the touch;
- The color is pink, yellow-white or greyish;
- The diameter of the formation is 1 to 20 mm;
- There is no papillary diagram;
- The edges are clearly described.
A wart on the foot is characterized by acute pain, interfering with walking, until temporary disability.
Croissance occurs in areas with strong pressure and perspiration.Typical location of the chain on the sole: heels, pillows of the foot and fingers.Painful and difficult to eliminate training appear on the edge of the nail and under the nail plate.Inside the warts of all types, the blood vessels pass, fueling living tissue, the cells that multiply intensively.Small black dots are perceptible on the surface - blood clots in the capillaries;They can bleed when cutting the corneal layer.
Most often, the plantar type of warts occurs in schoolchildren.In around 30% of patients, such training courses are independently held in 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 the surrounding people.An infection is also dangerous when a group of training appears in a section, individual papules merge into a mosaic plate.
Wart - a manifestation of the papilloma virus
The skin on the feet is often damaged, tight and follows when you wear nearby and uncomfortable shoes.If thin blisters with transparent liquid appear inside, they are corns.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 plant plant remains unnoticed or perceived as the formation of a corn.We must carefully look at the surface of education and pay attention to the characteristics.It is a strong keratinization, lack of skin lines, pain in the compression of the surrounding skin.These are the results of active reproduction of the papillom virus in living epithelium cells.
Causes of plantar warts:
- Papillom virus infection (HPV);
- weakening of local and general immune defense;
- activation of the virus, penetration into epithelial cells;
- Improved propagation and rapid keratinization of infected cells.
HPV is transmitted with domestic and sexual contacts.Infectious agents even enter minor damage to skin and mucous membranes: cracks, cuts, crying.
Papillom viruses from the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 27th and 57 types mainly infect the cells located in the skin of the feet.The plantar variety of viral growth belongs to simple (ordinary, vulgar) training.According to the international classification of diseases, these are infectious and parasitic diseases.MKB-10 class: "Viral infections characterized by skin lesions and mucous membranes."
Simple warts are benign epithelium tumors.At the start, they do not present a danger to health.Sometimes these growths are subject to malignant degeneration with transformation into a cancer tumor.The process is more likely to launch the types of HPV, for which a high risk of development of oncology is established.
Treatment of warts on the foot
After the infection, the incubation period begins: the papillom virus is introduced into cells, "reformat" their reproduction and their development.More often than often, the infection passes in a latent form and in such an inactive state can exist throughout the life of the body.In this case, immunity removes the papillom virus, is reflected in sleepless sleep without special therapy.
Sifty warts can appear after 3 to 10 years or appear a few weeks after infection, then disappear the first year or in two years.
Not everyone is ready to wait for a spontaneous remedy and the skin cleaning from growth.Many consult a doctor during the first signs of HPV infection.Dermatologists propose to use modern methods to eliminate warts, recommend means for antiviral therapy, strengthening the skin and whole organism immunity.
If for an adequate selection of therapy, it is necessary to establish the type of HPV, the doctor prescribes several additional studies.A biopsy is carried out for a histological material, an analysis is carried out to determine the antibodies against the papillom virus.
Treatment options:
- The use of special drugs from plantar warts.There is a dissolution and exfoliation of dead cells.
- Laser excision of simple neoplasms with the formation of a scab, under which healing is in progress.The crust disappears 7 to 10 days after the procedure.
- Cryodestructure with liquid nitrogen.Large warts are deleted for several procedures.When exposed to low temperatures, a bubble appears, as after a burn.
- Electrocoagulation using an electrode through which a high frequency current is supplied, which destroys pathological tissues.A painful procedure is accompanied by a strong smell of burning skin.
- Surgical removal.
- Drug injections.
At the start 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 hot water, cleaning the keratinized layers using manicure scissors and pumice stone.Then apply a patch.The course of treatment lasts on average 1 to 3 months.
Prevention
Papilloma viruses are able to persist in the environment for a long time.It is necessary to maintain the cleanliness of the feet, not to walk without shoes, especially in public changing rooms, bathrooms, in the swimming pool.It is necessary to use special slippers to protect the leg plants from contacts with surfaces, contaminated particles from other people's skin.In addition, you should not wear socks and shoes from other people.
You cannot scratch the wart, otherwise such growth will arise in other parts of the leg.
Papilloma viruses are extremely contagious.With daily hygiene procedures and treatment for the application of drugs, it is necessary to disinfect accessories.The socks and the leg towel must be carefully washed with hot water, scissors, a nail file, disinfected the Ponce.Make sure you wash your hands with soap after touching education, various therapeutic procedures.
