HPV Warts – Painful Ordeal We Are Decided on Fighting
HPV Warts appear as a result of virus infection and if they are visible, we feel as if they cast stigma upon us. However, apart from looking ugly, warts can be quite insidious and dangerous for their discontent and often desperate owner. It is important to bear in mind that these are viral infections. And some of the viruses that cause genital warts can also result in cervical cancer, vulvar cancer, and anal cancer in women. In addition, they are directly related to the development of penile cancer, anal cancer, and prostate cancer in men.
HPV Warts develop after the skin gets infected with a virus from the papiloma family. They are ugly and sometimes feel itchy, with the culprit being HPV (human papiloma virus). Depending on the virus subtype (there are more than 100), warts can appear on different parts around the body and will look different.
HPV Warts conquer the whole body with ease. In the beginning, they develop in the form of rash, increasing in size week after week and changing their color and morphology.
There are different types of hpv warts that can develop on all parts of the body; however, the following appear more often: warts on hands, finger warts, warts on face, foot warts, genital warts – condyloma /below you can find links to articles about Male Genital Warts and Female Genital Warts/. In addition, they can grow in the nail area, causing lots of pain and inconvenience. Big warts cause traumas to the surrounding skin – small lesions that sometimes result in bleeding.
How Can I Tell if I have Herpes or Warts?
You can self-diagnose but the best way to be sure is to visit your doctor for a formal diagnosis. For herpes, if you have no symptoms, doctors can take a blood test, viral culture, or antigen test, or a combination of these. For warts, the doctor may use a pap smear or swab test to see if you have the virus.
How Can They Be Treated?
Once a person has been infected with HPV or HSV2, the virus will remain in the body, and go through periods of dormancy and activity until your immune system clears it.
HPV treatment (for genital warts) involves topical creams, cryosurgery (cold burning removal), and LEEP (loop electrosurgical excision procedure, which removes the wart by hot burning). Cryosurgery and LEEP must be performed by doctors. Using creams at home can be a safe and easy way to treat HPV.
There is no known cure for HSV2 but there are various treatment options you can discuss with your doctor such as antiviral therapy.
There is a vaccine available for HPV that is best administered before you become sexually active. The vaccine is fairly widely used and has been proven to be effective against some HPVs that are linked to cervical cancer, warts and other high-risk types of HPV. Even when vaccinated, you should obtain regular pap smears and practice safe sex.
