How to treat warts on children's hands?

Many children have warts on their hands. This is a very common skin disease in the human body. When the human body suffers from this disease, it will cause many adverse effects, such as itching, pain, or pigmentation. When faced with the situation of warts on the hands, people need to pay attention and take timely measures to treat it. The following is a detailed introduction on how to treat warts on children's hands.

I believe that everyone may not know much about skin diseases such as warts. In fact, the appearance of warts on the human skin surface is caused by infection with human papillomavirus. This disease may grow anywhere in the body, and some warts are contagious, especially in children or adolescents. Once infected, the incubation period is 1-3 months.

What to do if your baby has warts on his fingers

Generally speaking, most patients with warts will be able to resolve on their own within 1-2 years after the onset of the disease, but there are also many patients who will still have relapses even with the use of deep destructive methods, one-third of the patients must be careful in their choices, and some treatments that can cause permanent scars should not be used. Currently, there are four methods for treating warts: drug therapy, photodynamic therapy, physical therapy and surgical removal.

Among them, photodynamic therapy is the use of systemic or local external photosensitizers, which cause local cell death after exposure to light and can treat some common warts and genital warts. Physical therapy mainly adopts treatment methods such as freezing, electrocautery, laser, infrared coagulation, etc. This method is suitable for smaller numbers of common warts and plantar warts. Finally, surgical removal can be performed for some giant warts. Therefore, parents should take their babies to the hospital for examination and let the doctor choose the appropriate treatment method based on the extent of the warts on the baby's fingers.

Causes of warts

Warts are caused by infection with the human papillomavirus. It can be transmitted through direct or indirect contact. Anal and genital warts are mostly transmitted through sexual contact. Trauma or skin damage is an important factor in HPV infection. The course of warts is closely related to the body's immunity. The incidence of warts is increased in patients with immunodeficiency, such as kidney transplant recipients, malignant lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia and lupus erythematosus. However, the mechanism by which warts persist in relatively healthy people is still unclear.
