Armpit papillomas are a common problem among patients of different sex and age. The disease often affects adolescents, sometimes children. The causes and treatment are closely linked, since after the predictable factor is eliminated, the growths can be eliminated.
What are papillomas
Papillomas are benign neoplasms that appear on the skin and provoke unpleasant symptoms. They can come in a variety of shapes and sizes, are rarely legible, and often affect a specific area of the skin.The regular appearance of growth in large numbers in medicine is called papillomatosis.
Types of papillomas under the ampoules
Papillomas under the ampoules, which have different causes and treatment depending on the type, are divided into several classifications. Paying attention to the characteristics of the growth of the neoplasm, endophytic and exophytic growths are distinguished. The first ones grow inside the skin, with only a slight elevation on the skin.
The latter germinate above the surface of the skin, they have a different shape, size, greatly complicating a person's life. Doctors also differentiate between different types of growth, depending on the shape.
The most common are:
- Maolthey usually have a rounded shape, rise slightly above the skin, rarely giving the patient discomfort. The patient only notices them when symptoms appear.
- Mentionthey are common, small in size, attached to the skin at the base, tapering toward the tip as they grow. Neoplasms do not appear alone, more often appearing in groups of several.
- Finger shapelike a spiky look, but not one point, but two or three points. They appear in the same way as previous growths, creating severe discomfort.
- Simple or vulgar papillomasIs the most common type. They look like a mole, have a rounded shape and rise slightly above skin level.
- Filiformformations are most often seen under the amperes. They are very thin and are attached to the skin with a thin stem. Such a build-up is easily damaged or even ripped off by careless movement or tearing of clothing.
In addition, experts identify growths that are prone to malignancy and those that never turn into a malignant neoplasm. The classification is conditional, the type is detected during the diagnosis.
Stages and stages of papillomas under the amps
Experts do not officially divide armpit papillomas, whose causes and treatment are similar to any type of disease, by experts in stages or stages. But doctors conditionally differentiate the initial, progressive and advanced stages of papillomatosis. Flat formations grow slowly, at first they are not visible in any way.
As the condition progresses, the patient feels discomfort, notices a collection.At an advanced stage, the neoplasm induces pain, may cause bleeding, and other smaller papillomas form nearby. Fragile papillomas progress according to the same principle.
Pointed papillomas appear in different places in the ampoules at the same time. First, the patient does not feel pain. Moreover, the number of growths increases. At a high stage, the size and number of formations grow rapidly, are damaged by the patient, and infection enters.
Finger-shaped neoplasms develop in the same way as pointed ones, but grow more slowly, as often as they are injured.
Infection binds in rare cases.Filamentous papillomas often cause complications. At the first stage, one or two growths appear. Moreover, their number increases. At a high stage, most of the skin under the amps is covered with growths, they cause pain, itching, and are damaged by clothing and hygiene products while taking a shower.
Symptoms of papillomas under the amps
In most cases, papillomatosis does not trigger severe symptoms at the initial and progressive stages. The incubation period can last between several months and several years.
The main symptoms in advanced cases are:
- small building formation of various shapes and sizes;
- the appearance of a similar neoplasm near;
- slight dryness of the skin in the area of the papilloma;
- bleeding with damage to erection;
- salty when papillomas are rubbed with clothes;
- inflammation of the skin around the formations;
- appearance of wounds or cracks.
In severe cases, infection is added, which stimulates the penetration of bacteria into small blankets that are formed when growth is damaged.
The causes of the appearance of papillomas under the amps
Armpit papillomas, whose causes and treatment are almost always the same, result from the penetration of the human papillomavirus virus into the body. Today, specialists know about 600 songs. More than 70% of the world's population is infected with this virus, but it is activated under certain circumstances.
The main contributing factors are:
- weakening of immunity as a result of prolonged illness;
- regular overwork, intense physical activity;
- unhealthy diet, deficiency of vitamins and minerals;
- chronic vitamin deficiency;
- frequent stressful situations;
- long-term use of antibacterial drugs;
- undergoing a course of chemotherapy.
Any of the factors can trigger the activation of the virus, the appearance of neoplasms. HPV is sexually transmitted through the use of normal personal hygiene articles. Children can become infected from their parents.
Diagnosis of papillomas under the ampoules
Patients with symptoms of papillomatosis are advised to see a specialist for a diagnostic examination. The first method of examination is to examine the skin at the site of growth. The doctor examines the affected area, assesses the condition of the papillomas and the likelihood of turning them into malignant tumors.
The next method is a complete blood count.A patient's blood sample is taken from a vein or finger, and is studied by specialists in laboratory conditions. Based on the results of the analysis, the doctor determines the general condition of the patient. Such diagnoses are made in any educational institution and are usually made free of charge.
Armpit papillomas can be diagnosed in a variety of ways. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method is one of the main and most effective. It allows you to detect HPV in a patient’s blood sample, identify the exact cause and prescribe the appropriate treatment.
The analysis is performed in large clinics.Some provincial clinics also perform PCR tests. Testing - a screening test has high accuracy that allows you to quickly identify different types of HPV.
For research, the patient’s blood is taken, after which it is studied in special laboratories with reagents and equipment. Today, the method is considered the most effective and popular, it is performed in every country in the world, more often in large clinics.
When to see a doctor
Papillomas in the ampoules often do not cause tangible discomfort, but do interfere with their appearance, and therefore need to be removed. It is worth contacting a specialist if the patient's psycho-emotional state is disturbed and complexes appear.
You should definitely visit a doctor in case of damage to the growth and bleeding, severe pain, signs of inflammation of the skin around the neoplasms. The type of papilloma varies in size and shape.
A visit to a specialist is indicated if HPV is detected during the polymerase chain reaction or screening study. Dermatologists and dermatovenerologists treat papillomatosis problems. The patient is usually referred to a specialized department. If signs of malignancy are present, a consultation with an oncologist is indicated.
Prevention of papillomas under the ampoules
The patient is not able to completely eliminate the likelihood of being infected with the human papillomavirus virus, butit can be significantly reduced if the following recommendations are followed:
- Normalization of the mode of work and rest will eliminate overwork and consequent reduction in immunity. It is necessary to spend a lot of time to rest properly and try not to overload the body.
- Improving the quality of nutrition helps reduce the likelihood of developing a vitamin deficiency and weakening the body's defenses.
- Avoiding promiscuous sexual intercourse and having a regular partner also helps reduce the risk of HPV infection.
- Use of contraceptive barrier methods during sexual intercourse.
