They spread due to non-observance of personal hygiene of a person, friction with the collars of dresses, shirts, sweaters, bra straps, wearing scarves. Irritated and rubbed skin with impaired blood microcirculation is a favorable environment for papillomatous infection.

Thanks to the diagnostics, you can know approximately the period of infection and identify the carrier. The doctor can find out what the reason for the activity of the virus is - a simultaneous decrease in immunity or an exacerbation of a chronic form.

If a decision is made to remove, a biopsy is ordered at the same time. The resulting tissue is sent for cytological and histological examination. The cells are studied, which gives a reliable answer - a dangerous element or not, what is the probability of the degree of malignancy, of transformation into cancer.

Depending on the results obtained, the doctor prescribes additional treatment and excision. It is recommended that carriers of the papillomavirus undergo periodic examinations, PCR diagnostics for the rapid detection of changed elements and the prevention of exacerbation of the disease.
