Papillomas

Symptoms

Papillomas are usually asymptomatic and are particularly common in people after the age of 25-30. If they grow in size or multiply they can cause:

  • itching
  • burning sensation
  • bleeding in case of self-injury

They usually occur in hot and moist areas of the body, where the skin forms folds and favors the growth of HPV viruses. Such areas are the neck, face and especially the eyelids, armpits, chest and groin areas. Genital papillomas require special attention before they are removed and any possibility of association with warts must be excluded. The same applies to vaginal papillomas and anal papillomas.

Scratching or rubbing can lead to inflammation of the papillomas. In this case there is swelling and pain. In many cases, the inflammation following papillary injury may require the use of topical or systemic antibiotics.
