To all faults is a virus
Actually warts, papillomas and peaked condyloma are the virus disease caused by a virus of a papilloma of the person, or VPP. And that fact is interesting, that there are more people-carriers VPP, than at whom the virus is not present. The matter is that, if you are the carrier of a virus, but possess a high level of immunity, warts can not appear. But as soon as immunity is weakened (because of illness, shortage of vitamins, etc.), VPP starts to prove in the form of not too pleasant benign new growths on a skin. In total there are about 60 kinds papiloma viruses of the person, therefore tumors can be of different types. Some of these viruses can cause even malignant tumors.
It is almost impossible to stop spreading of VPP, this virus is transferred extremely simply: at contact to patients (for example, through hand shake), through subjects of a life, sexual by, at sorts, etc. In an organism it gets through a mucous membrane and then gets into a nervous fabric.
Warts, papillomas, condylomas
AS already it has been told above, VPP can cause various formations on a skin, not only warts. But even the last ones happen of several kinds. The widest circulation was received with three kinds: simple, plantar and flat. The first, the most widespread, look as small cambers with rough light grey or even a black-yellow surface, in diameter up to 10 mm. Plantar warts are more painful as they are formed on soles of the legs which are being constant friction with footwear. Flat warts are widespread much less and are represented as a yellow-brown nodule, usually arising on the face.
Papillomas are other benign tumors caused by the VPP. They are distinguished from warts with a presence of a small leg on which the head of a tumor fastens. Papillomas appear on a neck, the face or (more often) in armpits.
The third kind of tumors - peaked condilomas are difficult to be noticed. Usually they appear on mucous of external genitals. They can be easily defined by the touch; these are small inspissations, blebs of a pink color.
Groups of risk
There are many versions concerning what percent of the population of the Earth has warts on the body of. By different estimations, from 50 up to 75 % of people of our planet ever met this phenomenon, and simultaneously they are at even for 8-10 %. Perhaps, this is one of the most widespread skin diseases.
The virus “lives” in nervous fabrics of a human body, and the occurrence of warts on a body is directly connected with a condition of nervous system. Therefore a popular belief that «if to forget about “trouble” it will disappear», has some basis under itself. Nervous shocks, stresses and excitements, strangely enough, are one of the reasons of occurrence of warts. So, according to statistics, nearly 50 % of tumors disappear independently within two years.
Those who suffer excessive sweating are most subjected to VPP and those people on whose skin there are micro traumas, cracks and grazes, and also in the group of risk. In general, warmly and a moisture is a favorite inhabitancy of this virus. Therefore it can appear at those who carries inconvenient footwear and at whom whose legs sweat. In no event it is impossible to go barefoot in public baths and pools.
Basically all age categories are subjected to a virus of a papilloma, but the greatest group of risk is represented by children. So, almost 20 % of pupils have warts.
