What is a papilloma on the body
The Papillomavirusis a benign tumor that develops from the tissues of the squamous epithelium. It acts as a drop or papillae on the skin and mucous membranes and can affect a person's internal organs. There are over 30 types and subspecies of HPV that can easily enter the human body. Depending on the type of pathogen that forms different papilloma groups on the body. They differ in speed, appearance, and location.

What do papillae look like
HPV may look different on the outside. As a rule, these are oval-shaped growth masses on the body or circular papillary-like processes on the skin.
They can be small (1-5 mm), medium (1 cm), large (1-3 cm), and giant (over 3 cm) in size. The texture of the papules is relatively loose and soft. Alternating blood vessels are usually visible on the surface.
The main colors are meat and all types of brown. There are cases of blue, purple, and even black black papillomas.
Why does a papilloma appear
These tumors on the body are of a viral nature. It is transmitted by contact with a carrier of a healthy person. Both men and women are equally susceptible, but are affected by the virus differently. Weak men may feel painful and itchy vaginal pain, bleeding and other vaginal discharge. Sometimes the disease is accompanied by syphilis, chlamydia, herpes and other sexually transmitted diseases.
Men are not afraid of certain viruses that are dangerous to women (16, 18). However, stronger sex is a carrier of the infection. For genital papillomas, speculum and glans glans penis or in the urethra, these are painless benign neoplasms 6 and 11 that must be removed. Penile cancer is very rare.
Method of infection
Infection is especially active in gyms, swimming pools, saunas, and bathtubs. Other reasons leading to the appearance of papillomas on the body are sex, childbirth (from mother to child).

- while kissing, because virus is present in saliva;
- when using personal belongings of an infected person;
- in the case of inadequate handling of the medical instrument.
Types and types
The number of types of cancer on the body is estimated in the tens, so doctors divided them into 5 groups, combining them according to color, symptoms and risk of malignant degeneration of skin cells:
- Simple papillae.These are also known as raw warts. Has the widest popularity rate. The first sign of the HPV virus is a small cluster on the skin. During development, it turns into a tuberculosis form. It is localized both in groups and individually. Favorite place of localization is the hand, the lower part of the face.
- Flat papilloma.A characteristic feature is group growth accumulation. Flat papillae do not have blisters, but are painted dark. The main place of distribution is the upper body, genitals.
- Genital warts.The site is the lining of the body and genitals. These strains pose a cancer risk. The main cause of genital warts is sex.
- Fibrous papilloma.In the scientific world they are given the name "monochord". A characteristic feature of this species is the mole supportive foot. Acrochords are the development of old age, as they mainly appear on the body of middle-aged and elderly people.
- Internal papilloma.This subgroup includes all tumors that grow on internal organs. It is not possible to independently identify genital warts of this group; This requires special diagnostics. The presence of an illness can cause symptoms.
Dangerous by viruses
Infection with the human papillomavirus is not usually a major health hazard. However, some species have the ability to degenerate into a malignant tumor. Noncancerous papillomas can also cause a lot of inconveniences if they start to develop, for example in the back, in the mouth, or in the groin area.
