Causes of neck papillomas and methods of treatment

Papilloma formation is associated with the entry of human papilloma virus (HPV) into skin cells. Most types of these neoplasms are benign and do not pose a danger to humans. Most often, the removal of papillomas on the neck is performed for cosmetic purposes, because these growths spoil the appearance. In addition, removal is recommended due to frequent clothing injuries, which can lead to malignant degeneration. In our article we will consider the causes and treatment of this disease, namely why papillomas appear on the neck and how to get rid of papillomas on the neck with drugs or folk remedies. We will also list hardware techniques that can be used to remove neck papillomas in a single procedure.

Reasons for occurrence

what papillomas on the neck look like

First of all, it is worth understanding why papillomas grow on the neck. The reason for the appearance of these neoplasms is the infection of the epithelial tissues with the papilloma virus. About a hundred varieties of this virus are known, some of which are oncogenic, ie they can lead to carcinogenic degeneration of the growth.

The virus enters the skin tissue through the pores, but does not exist in the blood, so the growths are localized in certain parts of the body, but do not spread throughout the body. The affected cell can infect neighboring skin cells, causing many papillomas to appear on the neck.

In order for papillomas to appear, direct contact with the skin or mucous membranes of the person who is the carrier of the virus is sufficient. The reason for the appearance of papillomas on the neck can be related to wearing someone else's clothes or using common hygiene items and household items.

Bitan!If a person has papillomas on the neck, the reasons are most often related to the weakening of the body's defenses.

Against the background of weakened papilloma immunity, the virus easily penetrates the skin. It is much harder to get rid of HPV, because the disease tends to become chronic. If we talk about why hanging papillomas and other types of these formations appear on the neck, then the following provoking factors could be the reason for that:

  • excessive exposure to sunlight;
  • avitaminosis;
  • hectic intimate life;
  • diseases of the digestive system;
  • bad habits (alcohol, smoking, drugs);
  • improper diet;
  • stress and overwork severely weaken the immune system;
  • anemia;
  • immune diseases;
  • chronic inflammatory and infectious processes;
  • frequent visits to saunas, baths and swimming pools;
  • metabolic disorders.

Papillomas on the neck appear during hormonal changes (in adolescence, during pregnancy, with menopause), they also occur in obesity, ovarian dysfunction or diabetes mellitus.

If the baby has papillomas on the neck in the first year of life, then childbirth could occur from a mother who has genital papillomas and condyloma. If we talk about how dangerous such methods of infection are, then the baby can die from suffocation when papillomas appear in the larynx.

Protrusions on the neck most commonly occur in women, but sometimes men also encounter such a problem. If we talk about what causes it, then usually the culprit becomes an acute viral disease that causes decreased immunity, problems with the gastrointestinal tract or the use of certain medications.

Diagnosis

Small papillomas usually grow on the neck, but sometimes these neoplasms reach a significant size. Before treating a neck papilloma, you need to diagnose this disease. In this regard, it is very important to understand the varieties of these growths on the neck. They are of the following types:

  2. FibropapillomasAre benign neoplasms that can vary in shape and size. They are quite thick to the touch. Their color can range from dark brown to light.
  3. Seborrheic keratopapillomas- These are nodular growths covered with scales that are a little painful to the touch.

If papillomas grow on your neck, you should visit a dermatologist. This specialist can correctly diagnose the disease in its characteristic form. It is usually a rounded neoplasm with a thin stem. If several small tumors appear on the skin, then the disease is called papillomatosis.
