They may be white or the same color as the skin and are often extremely difficult to detect with the naked eye because of their small size. They usually do not cause itching, pain, or bleeding (unless they are larger and injured) and this is one of the reasons why a visit to the dermatologist may be delayed. throw<\/p>\n           \n            <\/div>\n               \n        <\/div>\n    \n    <\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n<section class=\"dp-section--aux dp-padding-block--l dp-margin-top--l\">\n\n    <div class=\"dp-section-inner dp-zero-vertical\">\n\n        <div class=\"dp-inner-wrap\">\n            <h2 class=\"dp-headline--xxl\">\n                Transmission of genital warts            <\/h2>\n        <\/div>\n    \n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"dp-section-inner dp-bg--beige\">\n\n        <div class=\"dp-inner-wrap\">\n\n            <div class=\"dp-grid--4-3 dp-grid--l-1 dp-gap--m\">\n\n                <div class=\"dp-media-text-content\">\n                    <div class=\"dp-media-text-content__text\">\n                        <p>HPV is the most common sexually transmitted disease.

The lesions are cooled either directly, with liquid nitrogen injected in the form of a spray or using a cryostat. Usually, no local anesthesia is needed as the procedure causes only mild discomfort. It is considered a safe method of wart treatment, which can also be applied during pregnancy. It is repeated every 1-2 weeks, until the complete disappearance of the lesions. As a wart treatment method, it is inferior to laser as it causes greater damage and scarring and is associated with higher recurrence rates.<\/p>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                \n                <\/div>\n                        \n                                    \n                <div class=\"dp-accordion-panel dp-border-bottom--brown\">\n                    \n                    <h3 \n                        id=\"acc-h-l-cniu2-2\" \n                        class=\"dp-accordion-title\">\n                        <button \n                            class=\"dp-accordion-trigger dp-clickable-parent dp-h3\" \n                            aria-expanded=\"false\" \n                            aria-controls=\"acc-p-l-cniu2-2\">\n                            <span class=\"dp-accordion-text\">\n                                Diathermy                            <\/span>\n                        <\/button>\n                    <\/h3>\n\n                    <div \n                        id=\"acc-p-l-cniu2-2\" \n                        class=\"dp-accordion-content\" \n                        role=\"region\" \n                        aria-labelledby=\"acc-h-l-cniu2-2\" \n                        aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                        <div>\n                            <p>When the warts are few, electrodiathermy may be chosen, which is performed under local anesthesia.

Causes that help acute warts to develop are topical corticosteroid use, urethritis, mucositis, immunosuppression and oxyuria. We have high incidence rates in the development of warts in HIV carriers, in chronic immunosuppressive drug users and in patients with diabetes mellitus.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, warts can develop inside the oral cavity, on the lips or even the pharynx in both men and women.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n                            \n            <\/li>\n                \n                \n        <\/ul>\n                \n            \n            \n    <\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n<section class=\"dp-section\">\n\n    <div class=\"dp-inner-wrap\">\n\n        <div class=\"dp-grid--2-3-l dp-gap--m\">\n        \n            <div class=\"dp-headline--parts\">\n                <h2>\n                    <span>Acute warts  <\/span>\n                    <span>Precancerous lesions<\/span>\n                <\/h2>\n            <\/div>\n        \n            <div class=\"dp-split-headline-content__content\">\n                <p>There are about 70 different genotypes of the human papillomavirus (HPV) and they are divided into high-risk and low-risk. Those classified as high-risk are associated with various cancers such as cervical, vaginal and vulvar, anal, penile and oropharyngeal cancers. An annual examination at the gynecologist and a regular Pap test can detect potentially cancerous lesions due to HPV in women promptly.<\/p>\n<p>The low-risk HPV types are the ones most associated with warts, with HPV genotypes 6 and 11 being responsible for 90% of cases. HPV infection may have no symptoms at all and maybe fought by the immune system. But if this does not happen, then it can manifest itself in the form of warts (acute warts) on the genitals, in the oral cavity, or various other parts of the body.<\/p>\n           \n            <\/div>\n               \n        <\/div>\n    \n    <\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6806,"template":"","service-type":[13],"class_list":["post-381","services","type-services","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","service-type-dermatology"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cosmeticdermamedicine.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/services\/381","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cosmeticdermamedicine.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/services"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cosmeticdermamedicine.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/services"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cosmeticdermamedicine.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6806"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cosmeticdermamedicine.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=381"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"service-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cosmeticdermamedicine.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/service-type?post=381"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
