“…One advantage of carbon dioxide ablation is that it is a painless technique. Another advantage is that it increases the clearance rate while decreasing discomfort and negative effects (9). On the other hand, it takes longer for the body to recover, the fumes may be harmful to both patients and doctors, and the recurrence incidence is considerable (10).…”

Objectives: to thoroughly examine the causes, prevalence, and treatment options for plane warts. Background: Plane warts, produced by human papillomavirus (HPV), are often seen on the faces, hands, necks, and legs of children and young adults. They are numerous, slightly raised, smooth papules. The information was gathered by researching aircraft warts in the Medline databases, namely Pub Med and Medscape. Choosing a course of study: The inclusion of all research was determined by separate evaluations. They were considered for inclusion if they met the following requirements: Articles on aircraft warts that have been published in peer-reviewed journals and written in English. Information extraction: Research was deemed ineligible if it failed to meet the specified requirements. Ethical permission, clearly stated eligibility criteria, suitable controls, sufficient information, and welldefined evaluation methods were all factors in determining the study's quality. We used a data collecting form to independently extract information relevant to our research results from all qualifying studies. Conclusion: There are many treatment options available for plane warts, which are a common form of wart.

“…Some physical methods constitute an alternative approach employed in current practice [16,17]. Several different approaches could be considered: cryotherapy [18]; photodynamic therapy (PDT) [19]; thermocoagulation [20]; CO 2 laser ablation [21]. However, chemotherapy has certain disadvantages and side effects which can vary according to the individual patient, the drugs used, the doses, and the combination treatments.…”

New therapeutic strategies are urgently needed to overcome drawbacks in the treatment of some infections, particularly sexually transmitted infections (STI). STIs are easily spread by the transmission of various bacteria, viruses, and parasites with some of the infections being incurable or even lethal, leading to a serious impact on reproductive health worldwide. Phototherapy (PT) is a major therapeutic approach based on the controlled administration of light in the visible, near infrared, or UV spectrum, with or without the application of an external photosensitizer. Despite the fact that PT has not been explored to its full potential in the control of STIs, it has already demonstrated good clinical response rates and lower recurrence rates in genital infections. For instance, increasing evidence has demonstrated that 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (5-ALA-PDT) is effective in the treatment of condyloma acuminatum (CA), by eliminating the causative latent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, and also in the antiviral treatment of recurrent genital herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections. The clinical application of PDT is a new treatment for oral fungal infection caused by Candida albicans in adult acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients, with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and could also be used for genital fungal infections. Another antimicrobial PT strategy, water-filtered infrared A combined with visible light irradiation, has been shown to be effective against genital Chlamydia trachomatis bacterial infection, and an optical nano-genosensor has been designed for the diagnosis of trichomoniasis, a parasitic Trichomonas vaginalis infection. This review aims to summarize the published evidence for the effectiveness of PT in the treatment of STIs, and for the suppression of STI-related pathogens of various types.
