Why do they appear?
Papillomas appear as a result of human infection with the smallest microorganism: the human papillomavirus or HPV for short.
The infection can occur in several ways. This is sexual contact, normal and from mother to fetus.
HPV infection does not always lead to unsightly-looking growths.
To activate the pathogen, a provocative effect of one of several negative factors is necessary: a decrease in immunity, chronic diseases of the digestive tract, prolonged stress, hormonal failure.
The activation of the virus leads to the fact that it begins to multiply actively in the epithelium, changes the structure of the cells of this layer of the skin, and as a result, a small tumor begins to appear on the body.
It can take the form of flat or filiform papillomas, warts, genital warts that grow in the genital area, plantar papillomas on the feet.
The main danger of the formation of papillomas in the body lies in the possibility of injury and infection.
Warts on the external and internal genital organs can form in the presence of oncogenic strains of HPV in the body, and therefore may indicate the possibility of developing cancer. There is also a risk of multiple appearance of papillomas on the body from the first formation.
