Papillomas y verrugas

Plantar warts or papillomas are hyperkeratotic epithelial lesions of a benign nature caused by the human papillomavirus or papovavirus.There are more than 100 different genotypes of papillomavirusbut those that cause plantar warts or papillomas are the genotypes 1,2 Y 4. The incubation period can range from 2 until 20 months. Although it usually occurs in young patients by direct or indirect contagion, it can also occur relatively frequently in older patients with low defenses..

There are several treatments for plantar warts or papillomas. There are treatments to apply at home but they are too slow and difficult, so it is recommended to go to the podiatrist to eliminate them much more quickly and safely and thus avoid their reappearance..

At Torregrosa Salud we treat plantar warts depending on the type of papilloma, location, activity of the patient as well as their conditions.
Some of them are:

• cantharidin.
• Nitric acid.
• Salicylic Vaseline.
• Cryotherapy
• Laser Application
• Homeopathy
• In extreme cases, surgery would be used
