The face is the basis of the visual image of the person, which largely determines the beauty and attractiveness of both women and any representatives of the stronger sex.
Improving the aesthetic condition of the facial skin, as well as maintaining youth, is an understandable desire of most people on earth. One of the most unpleasant cosmetic defects that directly affect the visual aspect is papilloma on the face. In addition, such a manifestation can be localized either directly on the epidermal structure or affect the mucous membranes of the lips and eyes, creating an increased risk and danger for its owner.
We will try to find answers to persistent questions about how to remove a papilloma from the face and especially what to do if a papilloma has formed on the eyelid.
Characteristics and sensitivity of the localization of papillomas on the face
The face can be affected by various types of papillomas, which will be slightly different from the visual symptoms:
- Common papilloma- look like small oval tubercles that rise above the surface of healthy epidermis, but have a somewhat thinner stalk and spherical body. The consistency of such papillomas is defined as moderately dense. The color characteristics of normal or vulgar papillomas can vary from light pink to brown;
- Flat papillomas- have a flat, smooth shape, which, it seems, should somewhat reduce the aesthetic damage of such tumors. However, flat papillomas often appear as multiple growths, making them even more noticeable than normal warts;
- Condylomas- a rarer type of facial papilloma, which can appear in the mucosal area and look like a pointed papilla or multiple lobular structures that are whitish or pink.
In terms of location, normal tumors can affect exactly any part of the epidermis, which manifests itself as a pathological growth of the basal layer, while angiospasms are characteristic of the eyelids, mouth and nose. At the same time, papilloma on the eye is considered one of the most difficult options for the location of growth, which is explained not only by the aesthetic visibility of the defect, but also by the difficulty of removing such a tumor.
Reasons for the formation of papillomas on the face
Benign growths in the epidermis, medically called papillomas, and colloquially called warts, are the only signs that a patient is infected with the human papillomavirus, which, once in the blood and skin, usually goes into a long "hibernation" on the eve of weakeningthe body of the host. It should be noted that the incubation period of the virus lasts from 1 to 6 months, but this does not mean that after this period an infected person will definitely end up with papillomas.
The level of infection of the population with the papilloma virus is extremely high and amounts to about 90% of all people on our planet. At the same time, you can be infected by a person who has never noticed the appearance of a skin growth, but has been a carrier of the virus for a long time. The main ways HPV is spread are the following ways to enter the body:
- A contact pathway, which is reproduced when the skin of a healthy person and a virus carrier come into contact (for example, a handshake or massage);
- The sexual route is the most aggressive and has no other option, which presents a 100% chance of transmission of the virus through unprotected contact and shows a 50% rate of infection if mechanical contraception (condom) is used;
- Transmission of HPV from mother to child - this route is more typical for cancerous tumors that affect a woman's internal genitalia;
- Autoinfection (autoinflammation) is the spread of the virus from infected areas to healthy tissue. Thus, papilloma on the eyelid most often appears in response to frequent contact, rubbing the eyes with hands;
- The household route is an indirect way of transmitting the virus through common objects or public premises (baths, saunas, gyms, swimming pools).
Visual characteristics, i. e. e. the formation of papillomas, appear as a result of the weakening of the body, which may be associated with reduced immunity, overwork, neglect of the rules of personal hygiene or the exacerbation of a chronic disease.
Why are facial tumors and especially eyelid papillomas dangerous?
In addition to unconditional aesthetic discomfort, papilloma on the face can be dangerous due to malignant degeneration, with the subsequent development of an oncological process. This reaction is particularly typical for cancerous tumors located on the mucous membrane.
Another risk associated with the presence of papillomas is the possibility of mechanical damage to the skin growth, leading to severe bleeding and possible infection of the wound surface. Such a result is also full of scars and scars that do not decorate the face at all. This risk is especially high when the papilloma is localized on the face of men in the moist area.
It is simply necessary to remove the papilloma on the upper eyelid of the eye, since such a growth can significantly inhibit the blinking reflex and the natural hydration of the eyeball. In addition, papillomas on the eyelid can cause blurred vision and many eye diseases.
How to remove papilloma from the eyelid and other areas of the face?
Removing papillomas on the face is a difficult task in cosmetology, dermatology and surgery, as the skin in this area is very sensitive and prone to scarring. This is especially true if it is necessary to get rid of a papilloma on the eyelid. Due to this feature, most experts strongly recommend avoiding self-removing papillomas on the face using medicinal compounds and folk recipes and contacting a qualified specialist who will not only suggest the best method to eliminate the tumor, but also determine measures aimed at it. in strengthening the patient's immunity.
If the patient has the opportunity to independently choose a method to get rid of papillomas on the face, the least traumatic and at the same time the most effective method should be chosen - laser irradiation of skin growths. The laser will quickly and painlessly remove the papilloma without leaving a scar, and qualified specialists in a professional clinic will determine the necessary depth and exposure area for themselves, based on the symptoms of the patient's problem.
