Genital warts

Flat warts are a very common but difficult to treat skin disease. Flat warts can appear on any part of the human skin, causing many granular-sized papules to appear on the skin, and patients will feel itchy skin. Many women even develop flat warts on their genitals, which can cause great harm to the genitals and can even cause infection in severe cases. So, what should we do about pubic warts?

1. Flat warts are flat papules of skin color, light red or light brown, the size of mung beans, round or polygonal, with a smooth surface, clear boundaries and a hard texture. There are a large number of warts, which are often scattered or densely distributed. Generally, autoinoculation will occur after scratching, and the warts will be arranged in a beaded manner along the scratches.

2. Flat warts are more common in teenagers and often occur in autumn. It is a disease that has a relatively serious impact on people. Flat warts generally have no subjective symptoms, but are slightly itchy. It often occurs on the face, forehead and back of the hands, and can also occur on the wrists and knees, seriously affecting the appearance.

3. Common sites for flat warts: face, forehead and back of hands, and can also occur on the wrists and knees. Mostly symmetrical, in indefinite number. Sometimes present at the same time as common warts. It can heal on its own or recur, but it will not leave scars after healing.

4. There is often a sudden worsening before the symptoms subside, which may be a process in which there is a sufficient amount of material to stimulate the body to produce antibodies.

5. The surface of common warts is rough and has thorns, while the surface of flat warts is relatively smooth.

6. Morphological characteristics of flat warts: They are generally flat papules ranging in size from a needle tip to a grain of rice or slightly larger, round or irregular in shape, slightly higher than the skin surface, or they may protrude significantly to form a dome shape. The symptoms of flat warts are smooth surface, clear boundaries, hard touch, light brown or grayish white, light yellow or normal skin color.

7. When the patient scratches the warts with his hands, the flat warts will be distributed along the scratches on the healthy skin. In addition, people with low immunity are more susceptible to flat warts than normal people.

8. Prognosis: It may disappear on its own. There will be obvious itching before disappearance. Flat warts will leave no trace after healing.

9. Complications: A very small number of patients may develop cancer. Although the warts are removed, the effect is not good, causing many patients to develop complications such as edema, ulcers, and scars in the affected area.

Flat warts are a viral skin disease, and are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) like the familiar genital warts, but there are significant differences in the virus typing of the two. In addition, the sites where sexually transmitted diseases occur are basically genital abnormalities and the area around the genitals. Flat warts are more common on the face and back of the hands, so there are differences between flat warts and gender.

Both flat warts and genital warts are highly contagious. Flat warts are directly transmitted more through trauma, while sexually transmitted diseases are directly transmitted more through sexual intercourse. In addition, sexually transmitted diseases such as flat warts and genital warts can also be transmitted indirectly through contaminants. However, there is a difference between the transmission of flat warts and sexually transmitted diseases.
