Many papillomas appeared on the body: should I think about cancer?

HPV hides many secrets, and the fact that a lot of papillomas suddenly appeared on the body is explained by different doctors in different ways.

Although it is the most common virus on the planet, the immunologists of the world are still looking for answers why single and multiple papillomas can appear. What to do if the body was attacked by many warts at once?

Why do a large number of papillomas appear on the body

If there are a lot of papillomas on the body, we must understand that this is a kind of sign that signals that there is trouble in the body.

That is, if a carrier of an active virus after influenza or bronchitis notices 1, maximum 2 growths on the body – this may seem normal, then a large number, even small neoplasms, can scare anyone to death. This behavior of the virus indicates a serious failure of the body’s defenses, which is why HPV was activated.

There may be hundreds of reasons. However, 90% of cases of multiple rashes on the body are hidden in the patient’s lifestyle, non-observance of the simplest hygiene standards. Which, by the way, is taught at school.

Causes of appearance all over the body, what does this mean?

• Any viral or bacterial disease can make the immune defense of the human body unable to contain HPV in “sleep mode”.
• Chronic diseases also have a significant impact on the nature and intensity of the papillomavirus.
• Sunburn abuse is a common cause of multiple rashes. There is an opinion that ultraviolet light plays a significant role in the treatment, drying the formations. This is a 100% myth that has not been proven in any scientific study.
• Mass rashes can occur with metabolic disorders, especially in elderly patients.
• The most serious diseases – AIDS, HIV, oncology – all of them to the greatest extent prevent the body from resisting any adversity. Many papillomas may appear, but getting rid of them, especially for carriers of AIDS and HIV, is almost impossible.
• Stress, a prolonged state of nervous tension, depression, sleep disturbances – all this cannot but affect the immune system, which means that there is a great chance to become a “happy” owner of the mass appearance of warts.
• Non-compliance with personal and intimate hygiene is the main way to get acquainted with HPV. In a special risk zone, those who do not consider it necessary to use condoms, wash themselves after sex and treat the genitals with special means (for example, it may be Miramistin).

What are the dangers of small formations

The presence of even single warts already darkens life for many, and when a person has small papillomas all over his body, you should worry more. Lonely rashes carry a small percentage of the likelihood of their degeneration into cancer. Accordingly, if there are many of them, the risk increases in proportion to the number.

Each growth, even if it does not interfere, does not cause discomfort, both physical and moral, is a time bomb. You never know if there will be an “explosion” or if it will not. Only a doctor can answer for sure, using data from several tests, scrapings, tests, even a biopsy. Those neoplasms that are hidden from the eyes and located on organs and mucous membranes have the greatest risk of “burst”.

HPV may not appear in any way for years, even tens of years, and a person is already its carrier, although he does not suspect it. It also happens that the virus is activated immediately, gaining power in just a few months after infection. The situation is especially difficult with the female genital organs: since the risk of papilloma growing on the mucous membrane of the vagina, cervix and uterine cavity into cancer is much higher.

Types and places of localization

Human papillomavirus is just a common name that already summarizes more than a hundred subtypes. They are called strains and are divided into groups according to the likelihood of degeneration into cancer. A larger percentage of all strains carry only a minimal likelihood of such a development.

But each specific case of infection is absolutely unique: someone will become infected, but will never see even a mole on their body, someone will periodically visit the clinic to remove warts, and for some, infection will give rise to a large number of papilloma on the body.

Classification by oncogenicity makes it possible to recognize one or another subtype, depending on where the mole appeared and what shape it is.

1. Protozoa. A fairly common strain number 2. It looks like a dense, hard neoplasm. The most common localization site is the back of the palms, which does not exclude spread throughout the body. Can be large in size, multiple growths can coalesce.
2. Plantar. 1,2 and 4 strains. It is very similar to a banal callus, but over time it does not go away, developing into a bubble formation.
3. Flat. Flat papillomas may be oval or polygonal in shape, similar in color to the skin, and may itch (unobtrusively). Often attack the stomach, hips, shoulders, neck. 3 strain.
4. Filiform. The most common type, which does not pose a particular danger, but is easily damaged. Localization: armpit, chest, face, even neck and eyes. Often found in the groin, on the labia majora or pubis. They look like a knot on a thin leg.
5. Pointed warts . They often develop into cancer, they are difficult to detect (you can’t find out about them without a doctor). They can grow for a long time on mucous organs.
6. Intraductal papillomas of the mammary glands. It is dangerous because it is easily injured, it is not detected without a doctor. It can easily cause a purulent infection, and other complications.
7. In the mouth. Dangerous because they can grow quickly. This may mean blockage of the respiratory ducts, the risk of infection due to damage and the spread of infection throughout the oral mucosa.

Any of these manifestations of HPV can go away on its own. However, the opposite happens: the body may not be able to cope with the virus and there will be a massive spread of papilloma on the skin. In this case, it is better to go to an immunologist or a dermatologist.

Methods of infection

The number of warts that appear does not indicate that an infection has occurred: the virus “sleeps” in the body for months or manifests itself in the first year after infection. A lot of papillomas can only mean a strong drop in immunity.

You can get infected, for example:

• through shared bedding, towels;
• through sexual contact;
• through a handshake, especially if there is an abrasion, a wound;
• through a kiss, hug, shared dishes;
• during a visit to the solarium, beauty salon, manicure room;
• at the household level, and so on.

It is impossible to make yourself immune to HPV, therefore, the number of infected people is close to a hundred percent, and it is impossible to get rid of it and remove it from the body.

Diagnosis of the disease

If the body is suddenly covered with papillomas, the only remedy for your own safety and peace of mind is to visit a specialist. Typing and treatment appointment occur after:

• external examination;
• taking a smear, scraping, sometimes a biopsy may be required;
• conducting tests.

Only after the doctor is convinced that the growth is not cancerous, one can talk about treatment and choose a method for removing the formation.

Treatment

Treatment of human papillomavirus should be comprehensive. The patient begins antiviral therapy, while simultaneously changing his lifestyle, working on the quality of nutrition, improving immune protection (walking, sleeping in a ventilated room, vitamin complexes, etc.).

After the beginning of the internal struggle with the scourge, external signs must also be treated. Each wart is removed using the chosen technique. Someone prefers removal by folk methods, more modern people trust only modern devices.

Important: Self-medication and pregnancy are incompatible. During this period, papillomas can appear on their own and also disappear. They should signal their carrier only about hormonal disruptions, but it will not be superfluous to check in any case.

Pharmacy funds

Pharmaceutical products for antiviral and immunomodulatory therapy:

• Viferon.
• Cycloferon .
• Verrukatsid.
• Panavir .
• Isoprinosine.

It will not be superfluous to cleanse the body of toxins, using:

• Sextaphagus.
• Linex.
• Bifidumbacterin.
• Lactobacterin.

For external exposure, one of the following drugs can be used:

• hydrogen peroxide is used as a lotion;
• Supercleaner – a tool that is used for spot treatment;
• oils (castor, tea tree, and others) to lubricate growths.

Professional approach

It is better and more effective to trust your warts to specialists. The “execution” of papillomas on the body today can be done in many ways, and there are quite budgetary ones for those who are not used to saving.

1. Surgeons will always be held in high esteem. Removal of warts with a scalpel is rarely used, but, for example, in the outback of Russia, it is still in demand. It is better not to remove papillomas  in visible areas in this way, since in 99% of cases a trace remains.
2. Electrocoagulation – exposure to current.
3. Laser is the most popular method of dealing with growths.
4. Cryodestruction – the fight with the use of nitrogen.
5. Radio waves are also used to resolve papilloma.

You can choose a technique only in tandem with the attending physician. These methods are the safest, simplest. Processing one papilloma takes a maximum of 15 minutes.

How to get rid of them at home?

To fight with improvised means of traditional medicine, celandine is often used. This plant cauterizes well, often compared with iodine in terms of strength. A fresh plant breaks, papilloma is smeared with juice, without affecting healthy skin.

Small warts are well treated with ordinary castor oil, which is familiar to many from childhood. Castor oil  is safe and effective against neoplasms, although the treatment will take a fairly long period of time.

Many recommend using regular potatoes as a dressing. A piece is attached with a plaster for several hours to the affected area 2 times a day. If there are many warts, it is better to lubricate them with potato juice every hour with a break for the night. Raw potato juice is also taken orally for a complex effect on HPV.

Disease prevention

Prevention of HPV recurrence is quite simple, it is because of this that many do not give due attention to the rules.

1. Personal hygiene – that’s why it is personal, which does not imply the use of a brush, sponge, towel of another person. It is better to avoid shared baths, showers, saunas with dubious cleaning quality.
2. Washing your hands is the most important thing to do after coming home.
3. Clothing must be individual. Women love to change dresses with their girlfriends.
4. Vitamins, sports, daily walks, air quality in the apartment – all this helps to strengthen the immune system. It is also important to control your diet.
5. Good rest is very important for a modern person.

The main rule of health is to try to avoid stress, take care of your nerves. No wonder they say that all diseases are from the nerves. This is true, although it is far from the only one of the factors accompanying the violation.
