Having symptoms of having several cauliflower or solid blister-like warts is called verrucose. To get rid of more severe cases of this, you can seek warts laser treatment. These lumps are usually located on hands or feet, and are caused normally by one of the many types of different human papilloma viruses.
The most commonly occurring wart out of the 10 varieties is usually the most harmless as well. Due to the infection, these swellings are contagious and can enter the body through an open wound or broken skin. They can also go away after a few months, but can reoccur. Some also last for years before they disappear.
A wart can vary in size and shape, where it occurs, and what type of human papilloma virus it is. There are about 130 known varieties of the human papilloma virus. It infects the squamous epithelium tissues, usually on your skin or genitals. However usually, different types of HPV can infect specific parts of the body.
The common warts in infected areas are benign, and the growths have common characteristics when examined. There can be hyperkeratosis, acanthosis, and thickening of the stratum granulosum. The growths also show larger blood vessels appearing at the dermoepidermal junction, and rete ridge elongation as well.
You have a lot of choices when time comes to treat or remove these swellings. There might be complications after treating a wart, since it might regrow even after thorough removal. When needed, laser surgery that uses light beams or lasers can be done in a doctor's office of clinic to burn off the wart tissue.
You might be put under a local anesthetics during laser surgery, depending on the area and amount of warts. The treated area will be painful for a couple of days afterwards. However, keep in mind that the overall recovery time will depend on where on your body and the amount of swellings that are burned off.
If after surgery you have bleeding lasting more than a week, fever, bad-smelling, severe pain, or yellowish discharge; call your doctor. This might indicate that you have an infection in the area. You should also regularly clean the wound to prevent any infection.
Laser surgery is usually the last resort, and it is important to know when it is needed. It's taken when the general medication does not help removing the warts, if these swellings are widespread and large in size, or if you are pregnant. If you are indeed pregnant, ask your doctor whether it is necessary to have surgery to remove your warts.
There's always a slight risk of infection after surgery. Keep the signs in mind like increase pain, swelling or redness, tenderness in the area, excessive heat, red streaks dispersing from that area, pus discharge, and high fever. The good thing about laser surgery is that there's usually no scarring afterwards, only requires a local anesthetic, and is only needed for large and difficult warts. However, it is a lot pricier than other ways to treat warts, and is extreme enough not to be recommended as the initial treatment.
