\n- School-age children, but they can arise at any age<\/li>\n
- \nEczema<\/span>, due to a defective skin barrier <\/li>\n
- People immunosuppressed with medications such as azathioprine or cyclosporine, or with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV<\/span>) infection. In these patients, warts may never go away, despite treatment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/span>What causes viral warts?<\/span><\/h2>\nThe warts are due to infection with the human papilloma virus (HPV), a DNA<\/span> virus. Over 100 HPV subtypes are known, leading to a variety of presentations. Infection occurs in the superficial layers of the epidermis<\/span>causing proliferation<\/span> of the keratinocytes<\/span> (skin cells) and hyperkeratosis<\/span> - The wart. The most common subtypes of HPV are types 2, 3, 4, 27, 29, and 57.<\/p>\nHPV is transmitted by direct skin-to-skin contact or autoinoculation<\/span>. This means that if a wart is scratched or scraped, the viral particles can spread to another area of the skin. the incubation<\/span> The period can be up to twelve months.<\/p>\n<\/span>What are the clinical characteristics of viral warts?<\/span><\/h2>\nCutaneous<\/span> Viral warts have a hard, keratinous surface. A small black dot can be seen in the middle of each scaly<\/span> spot due to a intracorneal<\/span> hemorrhage<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/span>Common wart<\/span><\/h3>\nCommon warts present as papules<\/span> with a rough papillomatous<\/span> and hyperkeratotic<\/span> Surface that varies in size from 1 mm to more than 1 cm. They arise most frequently on the back of the fingers and toes, around the nail<\/span>\u2014Where they can distort nail growth \u2014 and on the knees. Sometimes they look like cauliflower; These are known as butcher warts.<\/p>\n<\/span>\nPlant<\/span> wart<\/span><\/h3>\nPlantar warts (warts) include painful and internally growing 'myrmecia' on the sole of the foot, and groups of less painful mosaic warts. Plantar epidermoid cysts are associated with warts. Persistent plantar warts can rarely be complicated by wart development carcinoma<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/span>Flat wart<\/span><\/h3>\nFlat warts have a flat surface. The most common sites are the face, hands, and pimples. They are often numerous. They may be inoculated<\/span> shaving or scratching to make them appear on a linear<\/span> distribution<\/span> (pseudo-Koebner response). Flat warts are mainly caused by HPV types 3 and 10.<\/p>\n<\/span>\nFiliform<\/span> wart<\/span><\/h3>\nFiliform warts are on a stem long as a thread. They usually appear on the face. They are also described as digitate (like a finger).<\/p>\n
<\/span>\nMucous membrane<\/span> wart<\/span><\/h3>\nOral warts can affect the lips and even inside the cheeks, where they can be called scaly<\/span> cell papillomas<\/span>. They are softer than skin warts.

<\/span>How is a viral wart diagnosed?<\/span><\/h2>\nTests are rarely needed to diagnose viral warts, as they are very common and have a characteristic appearance. <\/p>\n
\n- Point points (coagulated capillaries<\/span>) are revealed when the top of the wart is removed. <\/li>\n
- \nA <\/span>Dermoscopic examination is sometimes helpful in distinguishing viral warts from other warty lesions such as seborrheic<\/span> keratosis<\/span> and skin cancer.<\/li>\n
- Sometimes viral warts are diagnosed on the skin. biopsy<\/span>. the histopathological<\/span> The characteristics of the common wart differ from those of flat warts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>What is the treatment for viral warts?<\/span><\/h2>\nMany people don't bother treating viral warts because treatment can be more uncomfortable than warts; they are almost never a serious problem. Warts that are very small and unproblematic can be left alone and, in some cases, will regress on their own. <\/p>\n
However, warts can be painful and often look ugly, causing embarrassment.<\/p>\n
To get rid of them, we have to stimulate the body's immune system to attack the wart virus. Persistence with treatment and patience are essential!<\/p>\n
<\/span>\nCurrent<\/span> treatment<\/span><\/h3>\nTopical treatment includes wart paints that contain salicylic acid or similar compounds, which work by removing dead skin cells.<\/p>\n
The paint is applied once a day. Treatment with wart paint generally makes the wart smaller and less uncomfortable; The 70% of warts resolve within twelve weeks of daily applications.<\/p>\n
\n- Soften the wart by soaking it in a bath or container of hot soapy water.<\/li>\n
- Rub the wart surface with a piece of pumice stone or an emery file.<\/li>\n
- Apply wart paint or gel<\/span> accurately, allowing it to dry.<\/li>\n
- Cover with plaster or tape.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
If the wart paint irritates the skin, discontinue treatment until the discomfort has subsided, then start again as indicated above. Take care to keep the chemical out of normal skin.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Cryotherapy<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\nCryotherapy is repeated at intervals of one to two weeks. It is uncomfortable and can cause blisters for several days or weeks. Success is on the order of the 70% after 3 to 4 months of regular freezing.<\/p>\n
A strong freeze with liquid nitrogen can cause a permanent white mark or scar<\/span>. It can also cause temporary numbness.<\/p>\nA spray spray<\/span> with a mixture of dimethyl ether and propane (DMEP) you can buy on the counter<\/span> to freeze common and plantar warts. Read and follow the instructions carefully.<\/p>\nThe combination of immunotherapy with cryotherapy reduces the number of cryotherapy sessions.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Electrosurgery<\/span><\/h3>\nElectrosurgery (curettage and cauterization<\/span>) is used for large, resistant warts. Local bass anesthetic<\/span>, growth is cut and the base burns. The wound heals in two weeks or more; Even then the wart 20% can be expected to recur in a few months. This treatment leaves a permanent scar.<\/p>\n<\/span>Other treatments<\/span><\/h3>\nOther experimental treatments for recurrent<\/span>Strong or extensive warts include:<\/p>\n\n- \n
Current retinoids<\/span>like tretinoin cream<\/span> or adapalene gel<\/li>\n- Immunomodulator, imiquimod cream<\/li>\n
- Fluorouracil cream<\/li>\n
- Bleomycin injections<\/li>\n
- \n
Oral retinoids\n<\/li>\n
- \n

- \n
Laser vaporization<\/li>\n
- H2 receiver<\/span> antagonists<\/li>\n
- Oral zinc oxide and zinc sulfate <\/li>\n
- Applications of raw garlic or tea tree oil<\/li>\n
- Immune stimulation using diphencyprone, or squaric acid<\/li>\n
- Immunotherapy with Candida albicans <\/em>or tuberculin PPD <\/li>\n
- Hypnosis<\/li>\n
- Hyperthermia, for example, using heat patch<\/span>\n<\/li>\n
- \nOcclusion<\/span> with adhesive tape<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>How can viral warts be prevented?<\/span><\/h3>\nHPV vaccines are available to prevent anogenital warts. Anecdotally, these have been reported to cause the removal of nongenital warts in some people without definitive evidence that the vaccine is the cause of remission<\/span>. In New Zealand, 12-year-old boys and girls are vaccinated against nine strains of HPV.<\/p>\n<\/span>What is the prognosis for viral warts?<\/span><\/h2>\nNo treatment is universally effective in eradicating viral warts. In children, even without treatment, 50% from warts disappear in six months and 90% disappear in 2 years. They are more persistent in adults, but disappear over time. They are likely to reappear in immunosuppressed patients, for example, organs transplant<\/span> recipients Reappearance<\/span> It is more frequent in tobacco smokers.<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00bfQu\u00e9 es una verruga viral?
