Different modalities in the treatment of verruca

Abstract

Verruca (wart) is a common proliferation of skin and mucosa duo to human papillomaviruses (HPV) infection. They might be as little as a few millimetres or as large as several centimetres. They might be skin-colored or brownish-gray in hue. There is no need for further histologic or virologic tests because the diagnosis has been made clinically. There isn't a particular antiviral treatment for HPV available right now, however, some medications on the market disrupt the viral life cycle. There are several wart therapies accessible, however there can often be inadequate backing for their benefit, whether they are taken alone or in combination. Damage to the infected epithelium that ends up in cell death, antigen exposure, presentation, and an immune response is the most conventional kind of therapy. The wart should thin out as a result of diminishing epidermal proliferation, or more particularly DNA replication, which additionally ought to prevent the propagation of new viruses. Although there is currently no entirely appropriate course of treatment that would ensure complete cure, without relapses, wart treatment is still exceedingly difficult in contemporary dermatology. The majority of treatment methods involve numerous uncomfortable procedures rather than concentrating on eliminating the viral agent that is the cause of the illness. The main justification for the continued use of traditional medical practises and cures is this. The part doctors play in the healing process is being reevaluated. Any medical practise should be built on a partnership between the doctor and the patient, where accountability is shared and decisions are made together.
