When treating warts, liquid nitrogen is applied at a temperature of minus 196 degrees Celsius. The cooling causes necrosis of the affected tissue, resulting in the formation of a blister around the wart and the dead tissue falls off within a week or so. Treatment of warts by cooling may cause a little discomfort and pain. Sometimes treating warts with nitrogen can cause a scar. It is a safe and painless treatment and is particularly indicated for children and women during pregnancy, as it does not require the use of local anesthesia. The disadvantage of cryotherapy is that depending on the lesion it requires several repetitions.<\/p>\n                            <\/div>\n                        \n                        <\/div>\n                    \n                    <\/div>\n                \n                \n                                    \n                    <div class=\"dp-accordion-panel dp-border-bottom--brown\">\n                        \n                        <h3 \n                            id=\"acc-h-pl6er-3\" \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-pl6er-3\">\n                                <span class=\"dp-accordion-text\">\n                                    Therapy with Cautery (electrocautery)                                <\/span>\n                            <\/button>\n                        <\/h3>\n\n                        <div \n                            id=\"acc-p-pl6er-3\" \n                            class=\"dp-accordion-content\" \n                            role=\"region\" \n                            aria-labelledby=\"acc-h-pl6er-3\" \n                            aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                            \n                            <div class=\"dp-text-table-accordions__content\">   \n                                <p>Electrocautery warts treatment is a method that destroys the wart using electricity under local anesthesia.

However, their appearance on any other part of the body is not excluded. Most commonly, they occur in summer, due to the non-use of footwear, as well as because of the increased contact with water, which makes the lower limbs vulnerable to the attack by HPV virus. Depending on their clinical picture, warts can be divided into:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"dp-margin-bottom-zero\">\n<li><strong>Common warts (Verruca vulgaris):<\/strong>\u00a0These warts may be round or irregularly shaped and can be white, grey or brown in color. They may be flat or form patches the size of a pea. Common warts usually develop around the fingernails, fingers and palm, but they can also appear on the knees and face in cases of skin trauma. In terms of symptoms, common warts do not present anything special or dangerous. There may be mild pain and discomfort in the patient. Usually, a wart on the arm or a wart on the foot falls into this category. The difference in their clinical picture is that the wart on the sole due to constant pressure and friction cannot grow extraplanar (outward) so it may appear flat, but has a lot of depth and is usually quite painful. The wart on the hand usually protrudes from the epidermis.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flat (plane) warts (Verruca vulgaris):<\/strong>\u00a0Flat warts are asymptomatic, slightly healed or flat lesions with a smooth surface and a light brown or blue-yellow color. Smooth warts are usually found on the forehead, dorsal surface of the hands, chin, neck and legs.

Therefore, the human papilloma virus (HPV) that causes warts can be transmitted by shaking hands or contact with infected objects. This is because the virus can live for several days outside the human body and therefore the possibility of transmission is increased.<\/p>\n<p>It is quite common for the virus to be transmitted when swimming in a swimming pool, as HPV viruses are resistant to the chlorine contained in these pools. This, combined with the habit of people walking barefoot in such environments, leads to a high probability of infection.<\/p>\n<p>Often warts are transmitted to oneself by inoculation at sites of injury. For example, warts that form in the palm area can lead to warts on the face or any other spot due to frequent contact of these areas with the hands.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                \n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n                    \n                                    <div class=\"dp-row-align--s\">\n                <figure \n                    class=\"dp-aspect--16-9 dp-aspect--m-1-1\">\n                                            <img decoding=\"async\" \n                        class=\"dp-media-fit dp-img-focus--50-50 dp-img-focus--m-50-50\" \n                        src=\"https:\/\/www.cosmeticdermamedicine.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/warts-hand.jpg\" \n                        alt=\"\">\n                                    <\/figure>\n            <\/div>\n            \n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"dp-section dp-section-text-cards\">\n\n    <div class=\"dp-inner-wrap\">\n\n                \n        <div class=\"dp-headline-container dp-margin-bottom--m dp-col-align--c dp-text--center\">\n        \n                        \n                        <h2 class=\"dp-headline-container__heading dp-text-max--60 dp-text--m-left\">\n                Types            <\/h2>\n            \n                        <div class=\"dp-headline-container__intro dp-margin-top--s dp-text-max--70 dp-text--m-left\">\n                <p>Depending on their location, warts are classified into the following types:<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            \n        <\/div>\n        \n                \n            \n        <ul class=\"dp-text-cards__list dp-list--none dp-gap--m dp-grid--2 dp-grid--m-1\">\n        \n        \n                \n            <li class=\"dp-text-cards__card dp-border--beige dp-flex--col\">\n                \n                                <h3 \n                    class=\"dp-text-cards__heading dp-text--center dp-bg--beige dp-padding--s\">\n                    Plantar warts                <\/h3>\n                                \n                                <div class=\"dp-text-cards__text dp-padding--s\">\n                    <p>Plantar warts appear as a clearly excoriated circular lesion with a rough supra-vertebral surface. They are skin-colored, and if the thick coating is removed, black spots are seen which are pathognomonic for the disease. Plantar warts usually develop at the sites of greatest pressure on the foot.<\/p>\n<p>In women, plantar warts prefer the anterior part under the toes. In some cases, plantar warts may flock together creating plaques with a \u201cmosaic\u201d appearance.<\/p>\n<p>Plantar warts are usually extremely painful if not treated and cause difficulty and severe pain when walking. Due to the pressure from walking they usually do not develop in the form of bumps but in the form of hard nodules. A differential diagnosis must therefore be made in the case of a foot wart from a possible foot callus.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n                            \n            <\/li>\n                \n        \n                \n            <li class=\"dp-text-cards__card dp-border--beige dp-flex--col\">\n                \n                                <h3 \n                    class=\"dp-text-cards__heading dp-text--center dp-bg--beige dp-padding--s\">\n                    Palmer or Periungual warts                <\/h3>\n                                \n                                <div class=\"dp-text-cards__text dp-padding--s\">\n                    <p>It is the most common location of warts. Palmer warts are very common. They can be located on the palm or even the back of the hands. Often hand warts are located around the nails so they are called periungual warts.<\/p>\n<p>Palmer warts are a common manifestation of children who can touch infected objects with their hands and do not yet have a strong immune system to protect them. Toe warts often occur in people who, because of their work, have frequent contact with water, e.g. housewives, hairdressers. Palmer or Periungual warts often experienced by these people cause severe discomfort and pain that makes it difficult for them to work.<\/p>\n<p>A finger wart can occur either around the nails or on the palmar surface. Often finger warts are also found between the fingers with severe pain or even bleeding. Due to the prolonged wetting of the skin, it becomes more vulnerable and palmer\/periungual warts develop.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n                            \n            <\/li>\n                \n        \n                \n            <li class=\"dp-text-cards__card dp-border--beige dp-flex--col\">\n                \n                                <h3 \n                    class=\"dp-text-cards__heading dp-text--center dp-bg--beige dp-padding--s\">\n                    Facial warts                <\/h3>\n                                \n                                <div class=\"dp-text-cards__text dp-padding--s\">\n                    <p>The face is a frequent manifestation of warts.
