Recently, the topic of #This kind of small pimple on the body is HPV infection# rushed to the hot search
Some time ago, 30-year-old Ms. Zhang walked into the dermatology clinic of Zhejiang Provincial Tongde Hospital, she pointed to the small pimple on her neck and said worriedly while gesturing to the doctor
"Doctor, last week I found this small pimple on my neck, and I read a short video saying that it may be a filamentous warts, HPV infection, which can cause cancer!"
Is this really the case?
After observation, the attending doctor comforted Ms. Zhang, that this is a soft fibroma (skin tag) and does not cause cancer
Doctor's introduction
Chonfibroma, also known as skin tag or mollusc, is a pedunculated benign tumor that is common in middle-aged or elderly people, especially in postmenopausal women, and can also be seen during pregnancy. It is not because of a viral infection, but is composed of loose connective tissue, fibroblasts, collagen fibers, etc., so the growth of this type of "small meat ball", in addition to affecting the appearance, does not affect the health of the body, do not worry too much.
Filiform warts, on the other hand, are benign growths caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection of the skin, and are a special type of common warts. It is common in people with weakened immunity, such as pregnant women and the elderly, and is more common in places that are prone to sweating, such as the neck, around the eyelids, and under the armpits. The clinical manifestations are mainly skin color, light brown, light gray wart-like protrusions, which are filamentous, and can also appear oval granular. The number can be in the hundreds.
The doctor stressed
The biggest difference between filiform warts and soft fibromas is that skin tags are soft fibromas with a smooth surface and are caused by skin aging, while filiform warts are caused by HPV virus infection of the skin, which are filamentous protrusions or thread-like protrusions, with a rough surface and are contagious.
Doctor reminds
No matter what kind of "small meat ball" is not recommended for patients to deal with by themselves, such as cutting and cutting off are not only incomplete to remove, but also have the risk of bleeding and infection, so it must be handed over to a professional dermatologist to solve.
Although skin tags and filiform warts are not the same disease, their treatment methods are very similar, and clinical treatment methods such as cryotherapy, laser, and surgery are often used. Carbon dioxide laser treatment is currently recognized as the preferred treatment for filamentous warts, and the treatment can be carried out with external anesthetic in advance, and then laser treatment, which can basically achieve painless removal and high comfort.
