Wart on the wings, near the nose

Today, more and more common are various diseases and neoplasms of the skin. They not only cause discomfort, but also cause a violation of the aesthetic appearance, external unattractiveness. For example, few people today will enjoy the wart on the nose. Nevertheless, there are ways to eliminate it. But first you need to understand the cause of the appearance, pathogenesis, risk factors and other concomitant pathologies.

Causes

The reasons for the development of warts can be many, ranging from malnutrition, lack of sleep, disruption of the daily routine and nutrition, and ending with hereditary, genetically determined factors. Also, the cause may be a viral infection, including, and persistent in the body viruses. Most often, the development of warts is promoted by factors such as herpesvirus infection, retroviruses, cytomegalovirus, varicella virus. Also, a filtering virus can become causative, which is transmitted from person to person through direct contact (when shaking hands, through everyday objects that have been infected).

The cause may be a violation of metabolic processes in the upper layers of the skin, as well as at the level of the whole organism. Some allergic reactions, hypersensitivity, sensitization of the body, can provoke the development and further reproduction of warts on the body, including on the nose. The cause may be a violation of immunity, reduced resistance, insufficient endurance of the body.

Often warts appear in winter, in severe frost, or in summer, in extreme heat. That is, in the case when the organism is exposed to extreme factors. Also, quite often warts appear after traveling to exotic, tropical countries, or after staying high in the mountains, with a sharp change in climate.

Too dry air in the room, exposure to high and low temperatures, especially their alternation, can lead to skin diseases, including warts. Often they appear in transitional, adolescence, during pregnancy, or during menopause, that is, are associated with hormonal changes in the body. Also, the reason may be increased psycho-emotional stress on the body, nervous overexertion, frequent stress.

Risk factors

People who have a high viral load who have recently undergone a viral or bacterial disease fall into the risk group. People who have different types of genetic predisposition fall into the risk group. Especially at risk are people who have grandmothers or grandfathers had warts, including, on the nose. Presence of persistent infection, latent infections, reduced immunity, can provoke the development of warts.

As a risk factor is a long stay in the sun, frequent use of cosmetics, including sunscreen, frequent visits to solariums. People are also at risk, who, due to their services, face various types of radiation, including X-rays. Most often, warts on the nose occur in radiologists, ultrasound scanners, laboratory technicians, neurosurgeons who work with devices from which radiation emanates. Also as a risk factor, a dusty room, dirty objects, with which it is necessary to contact. Long-term exposure to the skin of the face of dust, vapors, vapors, including acids, alkalis, can cause the development of warts.

The appearance of warts also contributes to dry skin, non-compliance with sanitary and hygienic standards, small cracks, injuries, injuries, as well as increased sweating.

Pathogenesis

At the heart of the pathogenesis of warts lies the proliferation or excessive compaction of the skin (connective or epithelial tissue). In this case, in most cases, the tissue is filled with viral contents. A wart can also be accompanied by an inflammatory process. Inflammation most often occurs if the skin is affected by any stimulus. Inflammatory reaction in this case is determined by the strength and concentration of the effect of the irritant, the body's infection, which leads to the development and proliferation of tissues. In 90% of cases, the cause is a viral infection. Namely persistent in the body, or active herpes virus, cytomegalovirus.

It is also worth noting that almost always, in 95% of cases, the development of warts occurs against a background of reduced immunity, metabolic disorders in the body, or a violation of the hormonal background, including various hormonal changes, including during adolescence, during pregnancy , in postmenopause. According to statistics, in 55% of cases, warts occur in women, especially during pregnancy. Children under 7 years of age also often have warts, but after reaching 8-9 years, they usually disappear. Then they can re-form in adolescence.

Warts have an incubation period. It can last from 2-3 days to several months.

What does the wart on the nose look like?

It has an unattractive appearance. It is located more often on the nose of the nose, less often on the wings of the nose, at the sides. The wart on the nose can be flat, almost not noticeable, or maybe convex, protruding far beyond the surface of the skin. Often the wart "hangs" on the leg, which makes it even less attractive externally. Dimensions can be different, and most often vary from a few millimeters to several centimeters. Diameter and height can also be different.

Often they protrude above the surface of the body in the form of a tubercle whitish nodular edge. Sometimes the edges are red. They can develop not only on the nose, skin, but also on the mucous membranes. Most often localized at the aperture of the nose.

The value ranges from the head of the pin to the pea. Sometimes warts can reach and much larger sizes, especially in the elderly. This, as a rule, fairly dense, but painless formations. Only in rare cases, warts can be painful, and then mostly in children. Often represent rough bumps or nodules. Their surface can be granular, sometimes papillary growths are observed. Sometimes the warts merge and form large conglomerates. Sometimes these types of warts are taken as corns.

Wart on the tip of the nose, on the wing of the nose

These are usually small sprouting, which is difficult to infer. They can appear as a result of trophic disturbances, as well as hypertrophy of connective tissue, subcutaneous layers. Exchange processes in these layers deteriorate, which leads to thickening of the upper layer. It has seals that tend to both horizontal and vertical proliferation.

Warts can be considered as independent skin defects that have arisen as a result of disruption of homeostasis (a stable internal environment of the body) and as a result of external factors. However, the appearance of warts on the body can often indicate the development of internal diseases. For example, small warts on the nose may appear after a recent infectious disease, including influenza, ARI, and against a background of reduced immunity.

The darker and denser the warts, the more their number and area, the heavier the pathology. Also excessive growth of warts is observed during pregnancy, hormonal imbalance, excessive exposure to ultraviolet light, skin burns, especially sun rays. Often warts on the nose occur after prolonged contact with chemicals, inhalation of vapors (especially often observed in employees of chemical plants, enterprises). Also, often warts first appear after a nasal injury, after a plastic surgery, and during the aging of the body. Pathology can be caused genetically.

The color of the warts can be dramatically different and varies on a large scale from beige, flesh-colored to dark, almost black. Usually they do not itch, they do not flake, they do not cause any special discomfort, but they attract attention to themselves. They can grow quite quickly in size, they have mostly even outlines. They can be either single, or in large numbers, evenly scattered on the nose and cheeks. When the first wart appears, you need to contact your dermatologist as soon as possible. It should be borne in mind that if there are any changes with warts, for example, they begin to grow higher, you need to see a doctor to check. You should consult an oncologist, as this may be a sign of a malignant degeneration of the wart, the beginning of malignancy.

Flat wart on the nose

Often, flat warts appear in women and girls who have used various cosmetic products for a long time, resort to various cosmetic procedures. It is a protective skin reaction, in which its upper layer is sealed. The wart is seen as a defect in the development of the epithelial layer. A flat wart is considered safer because it is more difficult to damage. If the wart is damaged, the risk of malignant degeneration increases.

In some cases, flat warts can be the so-called "pregnancy mask". These are the formations on the surface of the skin that arise as a result of the hormonal changes that occur in the body of a pregnant woman. Progression of the process contributes to a long stay in the sun, so it should be avoided. After childbirth and after the end of the baby's feeding, warts usually disappear on their own. If they do not disappear, you can contact the beautician for the necessary procedures to eliminate them. Warts can be genetically determined, including, and form, and even the age of their appearance.

Wart on the nose of a child

Often in children, warts develop against the background of a lack or complete absence in the body of vitamins A, PP, C. Therefore, it is important not only symptomatic treatment, but also pathogenetic consultation. It will help to determine the exact reasons for the appearance and development of warts, as well as to choose the optimal scheme of treatment, normalization of metabolic processes. Treatment is mainly local, and systemic. Preference is given to medicines. In the course of therapy, vitamin complexes are additionally taken inside. Locally applied ointments, drugs of local action, which eliminate the inflammatory process, relieve irritation.

Also in children, warts can be a symptom or a consequence of severe infectious diseases, most often of a bacterial nature. For example, warts can develop after suffering pertussis, measles, diphtheria. This can be a reaction to an inoculation, especially if it involves the use of an attenuated live vaccine. Warts can be a sign of metabolic disturbances, the predominance of decomposition processes over synthesis processes, which is often observed in dystrophy. It can also be a consequence of autoimmune processes and the accumulation of endotoxins in the body (observed with internal intoxication, poisoning with the products of vital activity of microorganisms). Often this is due to excessive exposure to the sun.

Consequences and complications

There are various complications of warts, including serious skin defects, their proliferation. It often happens that multiple warts merge to form a single spot. Wart on the leg can grow up. At the same time, there is a risk of damage. If damaged, they can be injured, which is fraught with serious consequences, up to the proliferation of tissue. Also the danger of damage to warts is that they can degenerate into a malignant tumor of the skin. This occurs as a result of malignancy of the cell. And of course the main unpleasant consequence is an unattractive appearance.

Diagnostics

In order to diagnose a wart, when the first signs appear, you need to see a doctor as soon as possible. Even if you are not sure that this is a wart - feel free to contact your doctor. It is better to prevent development, or take action at the earliest stages, than to start a pathology. So, you need to immediately consult a doctor as soon as you notice anything suspicious. He will conduct an inspection. Usually the doctor first interrogates the patient, collects general information about him, an anamnesis of life. Here, the cause of the pathology may be hidden.

Then the doctor conducts the collection of an anamnesis of the disease, on the basis of which he can judge the features of the course of the disease, predict its further development and outcome. The doctor needs to know how long and under what circumstances there have appeared new growths, similar to warts, or any other neoplasms on the face skin, on the nose.

Be sure to tell the doctor if any treatment has been carried out, what its effectiveness is, what other measures have been taken, whether you have tried to get rid of the wart on your own.

Then the doctor examines the patient. Usually, classical methods of research are used, such as palpation - the doctor will probe the wart and the skin around it. You may need to feel the maxillary sinuses. Percussion is also used - tapping the area around the wart, tapping the maxillary sinuses. Also, the doctor examines the skin surface for hyperemia, swelling of tissues, makes a measurement of the local temperature. It is also important to identify foci of inflammation, areas of hyperemia, skin lesions, possible areas of infection.

In the event that it is impossible to make a precise diagnosis, and additional information is required, laboratory and instrumental methods of research can be assigned.

Analyzes

In order to determine the origin and extent of the threat of warts, it is necessary to conduct a number of studies. In particular, they take an analysis for a viral infection. It should be borne in mind that it is necessary to conduct research specifically on the detection of viruses in the blood and their quantitative determination. Identification of antibodies in the blood is irrelevant due to the fact that antibodies are present in the body after the disease for a fairly long period of time, and sometimes the rest of life.

This is due to the fact that antibodies are associated with cells of immune memory. It is advisable to conduct a PCR test, or a polymerase chain reaction, which is aimed at detecting particles of viral DNA, particles of the genome in the blood, which indicates the presence of viruses in the blood. Also, using this method, you can determine the degree of viral load on the body, that is, quantitative indicators, the concentration of viruses per milliliter

Also, in order to obtain an informative picture of pathology, clinical tests are prescribed: blood, urine, feces. They allow us to assess the overall orientation of the processes occurring in the body. For example, clinical analyzes can show which process is occurring in the body: an inflammatory, infectious, or allergic process.

You can also roughly guess which system of organs is the main pathological process, what is its severity. For example, a large amount of protein in the blood allows us to talk about the development of the inflammatory process in the kidneys.

Based on these general data, you can determine in which direction to move, and what other studies to conduct. So, if the analysis shows a high content of eosinophils and an elevated level of histamine, an allergic process can be assumed. Sometimes an increased level of eosinophils indicates the development of a parasitic infection, which can also lead to the development of warts, including, on the nose.

In this case, if there is a suspicion of allergic reactions, you need to conduct allergic tests. It may also be necessary to analyze the content of total and specific immunoglobulin E, to the level of histamine. A detailed immunogram may be required that will display the current state of the immune system. If suspected of a parasitic infection, scraping, egg worm analysis, some specific parasitic studies, bacteriological cultures, analysis for hidden infections and persistent viruses may be required.

Blood, other biological fluids, skin scrapings by the method of microscopy, bacteriological inoculation, serological or virological studies are also examined.

With a disease of unclear etiology, it may be necessary to consult other specialists, as well as instrumental studies.

Instrumental diagnostics

The essence of instrumental diagnostics consists in the study of various systems and organs, and is aimed at identifying those pathologies that could not be diagnosed by laboratory tests and standard examination by a doctor. Its peculiarity consists in the fact that different instruments and equipment are used for diagnosis. Procedures can be either invasive or non-invasive. Using ultrasound, you can scan the wart, see its internal structure.

Also, in the diagnosis of warts, it may be necessary to study the accompanying pathologies, the study of other organs, since the cause can also lie in hidden pathology. Warts are often the result of a variety of pathologies of internal organs.

So, if you suspect a gastrointestinal disease (gastritis, colitis, enteritis, pancreatitis), you may need a gastroscopy, a radiography, an ultrasound, a colonoscopy. If there are suspicions of respiratory system diseases (bronchitis, tracheitis, pneumonia, pharyngitis), a thorough examination using spirogram, x-ray, functional tests is used. With heart and circulatory system diseases (myocarditis, functional disorders, arrhythmias, hypertension, hypotension), an electrocardiogram, ultrasound of the heart and other studies may be required.

Magnetic resonance imaging may also be required to evaluate the condition of the osseous system and soft tissues, and to identify possible pathologies at the earliest stages of their formation. Also with the help of MRI it is possible to determine the oncological process at early stages of its development, and to prevent the degeneration of the wart into a malignant tumor.

Differential diagnostics

It is very important to differentiate the wart from other similar neoplasms. Since the correctness of the diagnosis depends on the correctness and effectiveness of further treatment. First of all, it is necessary to determine whether the wart is an independent disease, a skin defect, or a consequence of another pathology in the body, for example, an allergic or other reaction, or a recent cold, viral disease, or it acts as a symptom of another, serious disease. For this, laboratory and instrumental diagnostics are carried out.

At the second stage, it is necessary to differentiate between diseases that can cause such changes. Instrumental methods are used primarily, consultations of other specialists may be required. It is necessary to follow how the wart develops, with what speed, intensity, what factors contribute to its development, or hinder growth. It is also worth noting that it is very important to identify the cause that caused the appearance of the wart, since it is often enough to eliminate the cause, and the pathology will disappear by itself.

What to do if a wart appeared on the nose?

When a wart on the nose appears, it is not recommended to take any action on your own, as self-medication is always fraught with serious consequences. You need to see a doctor as soon as possible. This will help the dermatologist. But also it is possible to address and to the cosmetician. However, an appeal to a dermatologist will be more effective due to the fact that he is conducting an examination of the body, and is approaching treatment in a complex way. Normalizing the internal state of the body, you can eliminate and warts on the nose without much effort and prevent their reappearance.

The cosmetologist does not approach the wart as a disease that can be cured by medicinal methods, but as a defect in the skin that requires a careful approach to skin care. Cosmetologists often resort to the removal of the wart, while the dermatologist prefers treatment.

If there is a suspicion that the wart is the initial stage of a neoplasm, and is developing too intensively, it is worthwhile to turn to the oncologist, check for oncological markers and malignization of the cells.

If you do not know whom to contact, or there are no such doctors in the clinic, you can contact the therapist who will send to the right specialist and appoint an adequate diagnostic scheme.

Prevention

At the heart of prevention lies in the first place, timely diagnosis. It is important to identify pathology at an early stage of its formation and to take the necessary measures. This will prevent the progression of warts, prevent their proliferation.

Avoid excessive exposure to sunlight, apply sunscreen cosmetics. Also, one should avoid direct contact with people who have warts. Cryotherapy, various masks and cosmetic procedures serve as a good prevention.

It is also necessary to maintain immunity in good condition, in particular, to maintain stamina and good form. It is important to perform physical exercises, eat right and observe the regime of the day. You need to consume enough vitamin. Requires abundant drinking.

Forecast

If the cause is determined in time and the necessary treatment is carried out, the prognosis will be favorable. The wart on the nose can be completely removed, both surgically and therapeutically. If you tighten the diagnosis and treatment - the forecast can be unpredictable.
