An alternative method of effective treatment of viral warts
Aim. Find an effective method of treating viral warts, as the question of their effective treatment remains relevant today. Materials and methods. 28 patients aged 5 to 55 years with a disease duration of 6 months were monitored. up to 5 years. 17 patients aged 7 to 45 years were found to have lesions on the skin of the hands and fingers in the form of dense hyperkeratotic papules of a rounded shape, pale pink or gray color, with a diameter of 0.3 to 0.7 cm. two patients from this group had elements injured. Clinically, hyperkeratotic papules showed hyperemia and swelling, and subjectively there was pain. In 10 patients aged 5 to 25 years, the elements were located on the skin of the hands and on the skin of the feet in places of the highest pressure. They were represented by single round-shaped papules, up to 1.0 cm in size and gray-yellow in color. 1 patient aged 55 years had multiple papules with a rough and uneven surface, polycyclic shape, gray-yellow color, with a diameter of up to 3 cm.to implement the task, the method of laser exposure to tissues with a wavelength of 1064 nm was chosen. The essence of the method is selective absorption of neodymium laser radiation only by vascular formations of viral warts, which leads to their coagulation and death of the virus from the converted heat. Results. This method is very effective, gives a rapid regression of formations, is not painful, and has shown no adverse reactions without a rehabilitation period.
