Causes of papillomas on the neck and methods of treatment

The formation of papillomas is associated with the penetration of human papillomavirus (HPV) into skin cells. Most varieties of these neoplasms are benign and do not pose a threat to humans. Most often, the removal of papillomas on the neck is carried out for cosmetic purposes, since these growths spoil the appearance. In addition, it is recommended to remove them due to frequent injuries to the clothes, which can lead to malignant degeneration. In our article, we will consider the causes and treatment of this disease, namely why papillomas appear on the neck and how to get rid of papillomas on the neck with drugs or folk remedies. We will also list the hardware techniques that can be used to remove papillomas from the neck in one procedure.

Reasons for the appearance

what papillomas look like on the neck

First of all, it is worth understanding why papillomas develop on the neck. The reason for the appearance of these neoplasms is infection of epithelial tissues with the papilloma virus. About a hundred varieties of this virus are known, some of which are oncogenic, that is, they can lead to cancerous degeneration of the growth.

The virus enters skin tissue through the pores, but it does not exist in the blood. Therefore, the growths are localized in certain parts of the body, but do not spread throughout the body. The affected cell can infect neighboring skin cells, which is why many papillomas appear on the neck.

For papillomas to appear, direct contact with the skin or mucous membranes of a person carrying the virus is sufficient. The reason for the appearance of papillomas on the neck may be associated with wearing someone else's clothes or using common hygiene and household items.

Important!If a person has papillomas on the neck, the reasons are most often associated with a weakening of the body's defenses.

It is against the background of weakened immunity that the papillomavirus easily penetrates the skin. It is much more difficult to eliminate HPV because the disease tends to become chronic. If we explain why hanging papillomas and other types of these formations appear on the neck, then the following provoking factors may be the reason:

  • excessive exposure to the sun;
  • avitaminosis;
  • hectic intimate life;
  • diseases of the digestive system;
  • bad habits (alcohol, tobacco, drugs);
  • poor nutrition;
  • stress and overwork significantly weaken the immune system;
  • anemia;
  • immune diseases;
  • chronic inflammatory and infectious processes;
  • frequent visits to saunas, baths and swimming pools;
  • Metabolic disorders.

Papillomas on the neck appear during hormonal changes (in adolescence, during pregnancy, with menopause), they also occur with obesity, ovarian dysfunction or diabetes mellitus.

If a child has papillomas on the neck during the first year of life, an infection can occur during the delivery of a mother who has genital papillomas and warts. If we talk about the dangerousness of these methods of infection, the baby can die of suffocation when papillomas appear in the larynx.

Most often, growths on the neck appear in women, but sometimes men also face such a problem. If we talk about the cause of this, then the culprit usually becomes an acute viral disease that causes a decrease in immunity, problems with the gastrointestinal tract or the use of certain drugs.
