Papilloma or warts are the most common diseases. 80% of the population noticed growths on the skin. This defect is caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Tumors can occur on any part of the body: neck, arms, face, external genitalia, and internal organs. However, at first glance, these non-dangerous tumors will degenerate into malignant tumors and cause melanoma-skin cancer.
Papilloma is formed by superficial skin epithelium (warts) and mucous membranes (dy processes) of internal organs. They can have various shapes, such as round or rod-shaped, most of which stand above the skin and have a typical color. Each wart has the same type of structure: a base formed by connective tissue (composed of collagen and elastin, which is composed of loose fibrous tissue that makes the matrix bone elastic), and the capillaries in the center of the wart.
Why do small papilloma appear on the body
The only reason for any growth in the human body is HPV damage due to a weakened immune system. There are about 120 known types of viruses. The infection most often occurs after the inflammatory process. The viral activity of HPV depends on the body's immune status and individual response.
Slight damage to the skin area, various minor injuries, and destruction of the epidermal barrier allow the virus to penetrate the upper layer of the skin. The virus does not circulate in the blood, but is directly located in the dermis. Therefore, the incubation period is not less than 3 months and not more than 5 months. It has underlying symptoms. Only after 5 months will there be obvious clinical changes. Part of it is a double DNA helix structure, which can ensure disease recurrence even after an immune response or clinical cure, because a single DNA remains in the epidermal cells.
There are four main reasons for virus infection:
- Contact and family reasons-physical contact (shaking hands) with a carrier of the virus, and use of the patient's personal hygiene products.
- Due to the existing inflammatory process or continuous stress, the overall and local immune system is suppressed.
- From mother to child (anogenital warts). It has been transmitted at birth, with a high risk of development and a large distribution area.
- Sexual contact with HPV patients in 50% of cases.
The number of cases infected through household contact is ranked first. Hands are the most exposed and unprotected part of the body. Therefore, small papillomas often appear on the hands.
Papilloma can be divided into several morphological classifications.
According to the size, there are: large and small papilloma.

- Ordinary-Positioned on the free belt of the upper limb: palm surface, phalanx, elbow, back of the hand. They are spherical.
- Simple-All over the body, more commonly on the neck and arms. They look like a gray bubble rising from above the skin.
- Pointing-It looks like a celosia. They are small, white and stick-shaped.
- Seborrheic keratitisare age-related warts. Keratin is not pathogenic due to different sources.
- SpineThe roughest and toughest. Often large and higher than the skin.
By location: sole (hands and feet), flat (papilloma on the body), normal (hand), but (plantar surface).
Causes of warts: congenital and acquired.
In most cases, a small papilloma may appear in the patient. It is this type that can form groups.
