Papilloma is a typea benign tumor, which is a papillary growth protruding above the surface of the skin. A peculiar defect of the skin is a fairly common phenomenon. Medical luminaries state the fact that almost 90% of all people on the globe are carriers of some type of papillomas. It must be said that there are a great many of them, because over 100 types have been described in detail by science. Moreover, papillomas can appear on any part of the body and not only on the visible surface, such as papillomas on the face and hands. Experienced doctors easily diagnose types of papillomas by location, color, shape, size and symptoms.

Only specialists can understand this, and a person who is not knowledgeable in medicine only needs to know that, when starting self-treatment and removing hated growths at home, you should still consult a doctor who will suggest the best option for getting rid of them depending on the type of defect. Especially if this concerns such an important area as papillomas on the face. After all, some types are “responsible” for the appearance of warts, others are growths on the sole, which, due to ignorance, can easily be confused with ordinary calluses, and some can affect organs such as the vagina, penis, cervix or even the respiratory tract. Regardless of whether papillomas appear inside or on the surface, only those caused by high-oncogenic-risk HPV are dangerous. There is no need to sound the alarm when skin growths appear, because of all known varieties of the virus, only 7-10 types are recognized as dangerous or conditionally dangerous in terms of degeneration into a malignant tumor. But even these types can be treated with timely deactivation in the form of preventive procedures.

Keratopapillomas are based mainly on the delicate skin of the eyelids and are initially not noticeable, but only felt when touching the fingers. The size can vary from a tiny grain of sand to a grain of rice, held on a thin rod that is about to break. Fibropapilloma can be congenital. Of all the types presented, this papilloma is the most noticeable, and its removal can be complicated by the fact that it is permeated with blood vessels. If touched in an unfortunate way, fibropapilloma causes pain.
