A common skin pathology today is the papilloma virus. Its pathogen usually affects the mucous membranes of the mouth, throat, nose or genitals. Papilloma on the neck is rare, but it causes a lot of discomfort in the area, destroying the aesthetic appearance of the skin, and the risk of infection with the virus increases during colds, weakened immunity and alcoholism. Papillomatosis is spread through sexual intercourse and domestic use.
What is papilloma
Skin formation is carcinogenic and looks like a papillary growth. Neck papillomas can reach a few millimeters in size, up to 2-3 cm in size, and the hanging warts can be flesh-colored or brown. The appearance of polyps is caused by human infection with HPV (Human Papilloma Virus), which causes changes in tissue cells and subsequent growth.
Why do papilloma appear on the neck
The neck lump is caused by a virus. Papillomavirus affects the frail constitution of adults and children. The disease is characterized by proliferative growth, keratomas (old age) and condyloma acuminatum. The main cause of papilloma in the neck is insufficient skin protection and impaired blood circulation. Rub the skin with clothing to make the tissue vulnerable to virus replication. Immunoglobulin will not enter the damaged area, which provides a favorable environment for the propagation of intracellular infections.
In children
A common problem faced by modern parents is that children are infected with HPV. Usually, the cause of papilloma on the baby’s neck is related to frequent skin injuries (the skin of young children learning the world is covered by scratches, wounds, and microcracks). If the baby's immune function is good, the infection is suppressed and will not enter the reproductive stage, otherwise the papilloma in the neck of the child is the result of the papilloma virus.
There are several ways in which HPV infection in children occurs:
- Vertical.The virus is transmitted from women to fetuses, and neonatal growth is usually found in the mucous membrane of the oropharynx, facial skin, or conjunctiva, but less often in the neck.
- Self-infection.This phenomenon is mainly aimed at preschool children. When papillomas appear on the body, many babies tear and scratch, causing the infection to spread to healthy tissues. As a result, many warts appear on the skin.
- Contacts and family.Connecting children (using common hygiene products, objects and toys) helps spread the papillomavirus.
Children who meet the following conditions:
- Constant pressure;
- Allergic diseases;
- The digestive system is working abnormally;
- Frequent breathing and colds;
- Parasitic diseases;
- Need to take medicine for a long time.
Adult
In the armpits around the neck, women are more likely to grow, which is related to wearing tight underwear and uncomfortable clothes. Due to the release of large amounts of sweat and frequent friction, adults develop papilloma. At the same time, warts rarely disappear on their own (only when small formations appear), so it is necessary to treat the growth. Only with surgery can you get rid of the papilloma completely.
If there are small papillomas or growths with different localized areas on the neck, the reasons for their formation may be as follows:
- Smoking;
- Blood circulation disorders;
- Overweight;
- Suppress immune status;
- Drink alcohol frequently;
- The existence of poor metabolism and related diseases-diabetes, gout;
- Poor hygiene;
- There are microcracks on the skin, forming incisions, and the result is a beneficial preparation for bacterial infections;
- Problems with digestive tract function;
- Excessive exposure of the skin to ultraviolet rays (during tanning);
- Hormone therapy.
How to get rid of papilloma on the neck
Viral diseases with viral manifestations in the neck usually cause aesthetic and practical discomfort (it becomes uncomfortable to wear clothes due to growth). Papillomavirus is a type of pathology that cannot be completely cured. However, it is possible to remove the papilloma of the neck (the disease metastasizes from the active stage to the incubation stage) by inhibiting its development. HPV treatment is reduced to the visual manifestation of getting rid of the disease.
How to remove neck papilloma
The complexity of papillomavirus treatment lies in the lack of effective anti-HPV treatment methods, so the method of fighting the disease is simplified to a cosmetic method.
To remove the neck papilloma, the clinic uses the following methods:
- Laser coagulation (hardware burning of papilloma with laser);
- Cryoablation (removal of papillomas in the neck by cryotherapy means freezing the formation with liquid nitrogen);
- Removal of growths (occurred in the surgical department, with large, hanging warts, during cancer testing);
Neck papilloma drugs
There is no drug that can completely destroy the human virus. However, dermatologists prescribed HPV patients to treat cervical papilloma, which improved the immune status and suppressed the vital activities of the virus. It is forbidden to choose such drugs in pharmacies and start taking them at home, because certain pills may cause serious complications and cause side effects.
After a comprehensive examination, the specialist will formulate a separate treatment plan and prescribe medication for the disease.

Prevention
Everyone has a different HPV incubation period. The acute phase of the disease progresses according to the individual's schedule, which depends on the characteristics of the organism and its ability to block the development of the virus. The disease can remain latent for a long time, but in some cases it can manifest itself quickly and activate the acute phase. Since the key aspect of virus development is the weakening of the immune system, the prevention and prevention of papilloma is based on its maintenance and strengthening.
