The increase, an increase in the number of neoplasms testifies to the activity.

The spread of papillomas in the neck often causes hormonal imbalance, endocrine diseases, among which diabetes mellitus comes first, followed by hyperthyroidism and overweight.
Papillomas appear on a baby's neck as a result of infection from the mother while passing through the birth canal, feeding or through home contact (through toys, dishes and other items used by the virus carrier).
In the beginning, single elements can be formed, eventually changing their size and color.
How to recognize a viral increase:
- the growth has a small diameter;
- structure is soft, free; the
- shape is flat or elongated, convex, standing papillae;
- color - light as the surrounding skin, darkens over time; the appearance
- is accompanied by itching, burning.
The growth consists of a thin epidermis and is easily damaged. If integrity is violated, acute pain, itching is felt, bleeding is observed.
Characteristics of the appearance of many small papillomas
Papilloma is a viral formation that has the ability to multiply rapidly and infect healthy surrounding tissues. This happens when you touch the infected element with your hands or objects and transfer particles through the body, to the mucous membranes.
The neck is an open space, regularly exposed to negative factors. Some types of virus like to live in this part of the body. They spread due to a person not observing personal hygiene, rubbing the collar of clothes, shirts, sweaters, bra belts, wearing scarves. Irritated and rubbed skin with impaired blood microcirculation is a favorable environment for papillomatous infection.
A man is more at risk, less often a woman or child. Representatives of both genders and different age categories turn to a doctor for help.
Increases virus activity, increased sweating, use of cosmetic creams that do not allow oxygen to pass through the skin. Altered epidermal cells begin to grow rapidly. As a result, a person has many small papillomas on the neck and décolleté.
Disease Diagnosis
To diagnose and prescribe treatment, you should contact a dermatologist. The doctor will perform a visual examination, will prescribe an examination.
The growth is first examined under a dermatoscope to examine the structure.
Neoplasms of papillomatous nature undergo PCR diagnosis in order to study the DNA of the disease. Allows you to determine the type, to give an idea of the quantitative content of viral cells in the body. Thanks to diagnostics, you can roughly detect the period of infection and identify the carrier. The doctor can find out what is the reason for the activity of the virus - a simultaneous decline in immunity or a worsening of a chronic form.
If a removal decision is made, a biopsy is ordered at the same time. The resulting tissues are sent for cytological, histological examination. The cells are studied, which gives a reliable answer - a dangerous element or not, how likely is the degree of malignancy, turning into cancer.
According to the results obtained, the doctor prescribes further treatment and incision. It is recommended that papillomavirus carriers undergo periodic examinations, PCR diagnostics for timely detection of altered elements, and prevention of disease exacerbation.
Treatment methods
Therapy is developed individually for each individual patient. If papillomas do not have oncogenic status, you can be treated at home with approved medications. For oncogenic growth, removal with subsequent treatment is indicated. The option is chosen by the doctor, taking into account a number of factors: the size of the growth, the area of the wound, the presence of contraindications, the age of the patient's adults or children. If degeneration has begun, the stage of oncology development plays an important role.

Keratolytic agents will help to quickly remove the defect:
- a medicine that comes in the form of an oily liquid. A drop of solution is gently applied exactly to the element, avoiding spread to the surrounding tissues.

- laser coagulation. Allows you to get rid of cosmetic defects without a trace, pain. The doctor burns from the growths without affecting the healthy skin. The ray does not affect the infected epidermis and the papilloma virus does not spread further, relapses are ruled out. Used in cases where small papillomas are located in large numbers in an area. A preliminary oncogenicity study is mandatory, after evaporation it is impossible to perform histology, there is no material;
- electrocoagulation. A common method for eliminating various skin growths. High frequency current interrupts the affected tissue while simultaneously cauterizing the vessels. This prevents the disease from recurring in the treated area. After the procedure, a trace remains. Appears for small elements. It is allowed to excise many papillomas per session;
- cryodestruction. One of the oldest treatments for dermatological problems. Liquid nitrogen acts on the nerve endings of growth and kills them. After the procedure, color changes and crust formation are observed. Pain and ikor may appear. After a few days, complete drying occurs;
- radio waves. A radio knife is used to remove warts. Operates on the basis of high frequency waves. Due to the lack of skin contact, the risk of recurrence is minimal;
- surgical removal. It is prescribed to the patient in case the formation has reached a large size, or the cells have started to degenerate into cancerous and urgent surgery is required. The surgeon cuts the papilla with a scalpel, grasping a small piece of healthy skin. This reduces the risk of developing oncology and blocks papillomatosis.
The method is chosen by the doctor. If necessary, the patient is given local anesthesia.
