Having said all this, let's first see what a leprosy is, but don't think it's a monkey.
Epilepsy, also known as thousand day sores, warts, dry tendons and arrows, remorse sores, etc., commonly known as prickly fever. It is characterized by the skin of the warts, initially like red beans, resembling flower buds, and falling over time.
Are gibberishes contagious?
A leprosy is a viral infection, and a viral infection is contagious.
But once you hear that it will be contagious, don't worry, its infection is relatively weak, not to sneeze on the infection.
This virus has a hobby, it likes to infect on the mucous membranes of human skin. Therefore, in the case of close contact and broken skin and mucous membranes, infection may be caused. If Professor Ke has a leprosy on his hand and wants to infect you, I have to rub my hand hard against your skin, rub the skin, and it is estimated that it can infect you.
What virus does a leprosy carry?
HPV virus
The virus of the crayon is a low-risk HPV virus. The HPV virus should be familiar to everyone, because cervical cancer is also caused by this virus. Its Chinese is called the human papillomavirus. Leprosy is low-risk HPV, cervical cancer is high-risk HPV. This virus is a large family, there are more than 200 types, there are about a dozen types related to cervical cancer, and most of the remaining viruses belong to low-risk viruses, which is also a reason for so many kinds of fever.
How to treat epilepsy?
At present, there are many ways to treat epilepsy, and the large ones are physical methods, chemical methods, and immunotherapy.
Physically, there will be a microwave method, a laser method, and a freezing method. You may have heard more about freezing, that is, using liquid nitrogen to freeze the sickness. However, this method works better for individual lymes. It is now thought that freezing may not be very effective for large areas such as facial, special vulvar genitalia, etc.
Salicylic acid can be used in chemical methods. Immerse the skin in water for 5 minutes or more, apply salicylic acid to warts in large quantities with a brush and let dry. After staying on the skin for a day you can tear it off or break it off. Do it every 2,3 days. Or burn the nia with cantharidin. However, in some special areas, such as the face can not be burned method, there is a risk of disfigurement.
One might worry about whether there would be a recurrence with these therapies, which actually uprooted the madness. If it is removed in this place, it will not grow any longer in the place where it has grown, and it will be a new problem of re-emergence.
