Benign hyperkeratotic neoplasms of the skin in dermatology are classified according to clinical manifestations and the degree of risk of zero-quality. There are sedenie, seborrheal, horny, follicular, solar kerat and angioratoid.
Shenyl (senile) keratoma.The most common form of pathology is characterized by the appearance of unit or multiple brown stencil spots from 1 to 6 cm in diameter localizing in open areas of the skin. Education tend to peripheral growth with a change in structure. Over time, the stain becomes convex due to the infiltration and proliferation of individual sections of kerats, loose, soft, sometimes a bit painful to the touch. Later, the keratoma begins to peel, inside the growing tumor there is follicular keratosis with the formation of cyst hair follicles. The injury to the neoplasum leads to bleeding, the addition of secondary infection, inflammation. Shenyl keratoma can self-disseminate or transform into the skin horn, and therefore the trend towards the malignancy of the pathological process is noted.
Seborine keratoma.Neoplasia a distinctive feature which is slow growth with the formation of multi-layer crusts in the absence of mocking. The pathological process begins with the appearance of the spots of a yellowish shade up to 3 cm in diameter, localized on the chest, shoulders, back, the scalp, the scalp. Over time, due to the violation of the work of the sebaceous glands in the focus of the flashes, the stains are covered with loose crustaceans, easily separated from the surface of the neoplasm. Seborrheic kerata rarely remain isolated from each other, they tend to group and peripheral growth. Together with them increase in size and peel, which begin to get rid of cracks. The thickness of the crochenech reaches 1.5-2 TD keratoma itself acquires a brown shade, its damage causes bleeding and soreness. The tendency to spontaneous resolution or malignation is not marked.
Horny keratoma (skin horn).Rare tumor-like neoplasm from horny cells. At first, a hyperemic site appears on the skin, in whose area, due to the epidermis seal, a hyperkeratotic convex tubercle is formed (up to 10 cm above the level of healthy skin), dense to the touch, with an uneven peeling surface and an inflammatory rim around the base. Most often skin horn is a single neoplasm, but cases and multiple kerat are described. Horny keratomes exists like independent pathology or as a symptom accompanying other nosologies. It is localized on the face, in the region of the red border of the lips and genitals. A distinctive feature of horny kerata is its spontaneous mischief.
Follicular keratoma is located around the hair follicles.The first manifestation of pathology becomes a convex bodily color unit with a diameter of no more than 1.5 cm with a rough surface. In the center of formation, a cone-shaped deepening is revealed, sometimes covered with scales. Keratoma is localized in the location zone of hair follicles, most often on the face and the scalp. Spontaneous malignancy is unlikely, but the tumor can recur even after radical removal.
Solar keratoma is a precancerous skin disease.The pathological process debuts the appearance of a plurality of small peeling bright pink papules, which are pretty quickly transformed into brown plaques with a wide inflammatory wedge along the periphery. Scales, covering plaques, whitens, dense, rough, but are easily removed from the kerats when started. Localled solar keratoma predominantly on the face. It has a tendency to spontaneous malignancy or spontaneous resolution of the pathological process, followed by the occurrence of kerats in the same place.

Keratopapilloma (or keratotic papilloma) is an education with a benign growth character, close to papilloma. It rises above the skin surface, has a view of cauliflower, the surface of the papillary species, can have dimensions up to 1-2 cm, can be compared with a large pea.

In the process of aging in the body, the work of many organs and systems is violated. Man's skin is a complex organ in which there are pathologies. One of these pathologies are older warts - the result of the violation of the process of the orog. They consist of multiple layers of keratinocytes that have been subjected to orog. Increased eligible or hyperkeratosis - the reason for the appearance of such education.

Keratopapilloma creates inconvenience in everyday life the reason is light Damage, the characteristic location of the formation of education are open areas of the body (face, hands and neck). Probably development inflammatory process As a result of injury. Malygnizes, reborn in cancer rarely - with systematic irritation (cleansing, spraying, rubbing).

Code of ICD-10 ( international Classification Diseases of the 10th revision) Keratopapillary D23 are other benign skin neoplasms.

Types of senile warts

The thief is similar to the wart, but the cause of its occurrence is different. Warts cause human papilloma virus (HPV), and keratopapilloma is an age change.

Shenyl keratoma

Shenyl keratoma is known as senile. Characterized by gradual development. Initially, a small hyperpigmented spot appears having a brown color. Gradually, the surface of the spot begins to rise above the surface of the skin, acquires a supine view (due to which they can confuse with the Condyloma). When palpation is a soft consistency. Later, the coating layer is energized and disappears in the form of plates of grayish color.

It is considered a benign education characteristic of old age. Located on upper limbs, face, back and other closed parts of the body.

Follicular

Keratoma is located in the region of the hair follicle or nearby. It is a small nodule of corporal color, it can be pink or cream due to weak pigmentation, size 1-1.5 cm. Around the outflows outlines the hyperemic line. The center is a deepening, which contains keratogial masses.

It does not carry danger, it is blocked with a small probability, but it can appear again after removal. Favorite location places - nasolabial folds, upper lip, cheeks.

Seborine beard

Tumor of epithelial origin, benign. Develops from the basal layer of the epidermis. Characteristic for older people. Forms for several decades. Can reach 4 cm in diameter. After passing the stage of an inconspicuous yellowish spot, gradually hypertrophy, it grows. Throughout the time of formation from the surface of the spots, fatty flakes are sent. Battime attaches skin fat, thanks to which the tumor and got a name. Localizes more often on closed parts of the body. Seborine wart can be painted up to black and mushroom shape (or like papilla). Street (seborrheic) growths malignant reincarnation are not exposed.

Horny keratoma

Neof formation, developing from the spinged layer of epidermis. Clinically manifested in the form of a horns, like animals. The reason is the unnatural ability of the horn to glue the epithelial cells. May appear at any age. The zone of the lesion is the unacted areas of healthy skin. Developed against the background of solar, seborrheic keratosis, nevus, virus warts, skin tuberculosis, etc. The length reaches several centimeters. Takes any shape. Characterized slow growth. Sometimes located on the mucous membrane oral cavity, lips, centuries. They rarely discharge.

Solar keratosis

It is a precancerous state. Developed as a result of the detrimental effects of ultraviolet rays of sunlight on keratocytes. As a result, the cells become atypical. The predisposing factor is heredity, pale skin color, senile age, insolation degree. The danger lies in the possibility of rebirthing into flat-belling cancer or basal.

It has the form of multiple limited foci of hyperkeratose on the skin, subjected to excessive insolation. Initially, such a rash is slightly painful, it has a color from red to gray-black.

Angioratom

It has a view of a papule, a diameter of up to 1 cm, the wrong shape. The focus, which gave rise to the tumor - the puffy layer of the epidermis. A feature is the presence of developed vascular elements, which gives red or purple shade. But the pressure will not brighten. Appear from different age groups. Create paresthesia, eye damage.

Causes of occurrence

Causes provoking the emergence of warts with age:

• violation of the functions of the sebaceous glands;
• incorrect diet (excess in the diet of animal fat, hypo and avitaminosis, especially vitamins E, A, PR);
• long stay in the sun;
• elderly age;
• genetic predisposition;
• concomitant diseases (fat seborrhea, leukoplakia, skin tuberculosis, systemic red lupus, flat-cell cancer, basaloma, etc.);
• floor. Discratosis develop in both sexes, but some of their forms are more common from male representatives (skin hiN);
• mechanical and chemical damage.

A feature of the appearance of warts with age is that one pathological neoplasm can cause another (skin horn can develop on the soil of other keratosis).

Symptomatics and diagnostics

Determine the age wart possible thanks to the symptoms:

• at the beginning, pathological education has a view of a spider stripping to the skin;
• color: From pink to black or dark brown;
• dimensions and species: A small speck appears primary, which over time begins to grow, rises above the skin surface and acquires a warthy view. Over time, modifies and acquires a mushroom view. Multiple formations, close to those who can merge together, then the dimensions increase significantly;
• age cerats are characterized by the development of hyperkeratosis, active erogenation epithelial cells. As a result, a significant layer of exhausting horn masses is formed, sometimes up to 2 cm thick;
• education may differ to localization. Condillary can occur on mucous membranes, in the larynx (on voice ligaments), bladder bubble, ureters, outdoor auditory passage, sometimes in the chest (intrappete);
• the kerats are never located on the mucous membranes, but they can appear on the back, arms, chest, head.

For such formations, malignation is not typical, but externally they are able to remind melanoma due to the tortured edges, which is observed in some cases.

Diagnostics is carried out by a dermatologist (or an oncologist dermatologist). During the inspection, the form, form, edge, dimensions, consistency is estimated, then a fragment (piece) of warthamy growth is taken for histological examination. Only histology will allow you to put an accurate diagnosis.

What is the difference between papilloma from kerata

Papilloma and keratoma belong to benign neoplasms. They differ in the following features:

1. Keratoma is formed as a result of a violation of the orog. The phenomenon of hyperkeratosis develops. The resulting structures have a dense consistency, and the buried epidermis exfoliates from the surface of the growth.
2. Papilloma is formed as a result of active division of epithelial cells. As a result, the cells form masses resembling cauliflower. The growth has a soft consistency, a developed network of capillaries and stromal elements.
3. Difference in age group: Keratoma is characteristic of elderly people, papillomas arise at any age.
4. Papillomatosis is the result of human papillomavirus, as opposed to Kerat.
5. The provoking factor in the appearance of the kerat is old age and excessive insolation. Localization places - open areas of the body. Papillomatous expansions appear anywhere.

Treatment methods

Such pathology is peculiar to older people, classical methods of therapy may not be suitable due to the presence of many absolute and relative contraindications due to age features and related diseases.

Age (seborrheic) growths are not hazardous and physical discomfort, for help to doctors are treated from aesthetic considerations when neoplasms are located on the face.

Some warts are a symptom of other somatic violations, which requires additional diagnostics.

Surgical removal

The surgical method is a traditional treatment option. In surgery, treatment is used only in such cases:

• the probability of moving B. malignant tumor;
• uncomfortable location when constant damage occurs;
• when the process is pronounced and has multiple.

The essence of the operation:

1. Inspection, choice of place and volume of operation.
2. Preparation of the operating field. Treatment antiseptic solution (Betadine).
3. Conduct anesthesia (novocaine or lidocaine).

An individual intolerance is on anesthetic.

1. Dissection of tissues, excision of the pathological site within healthy tissues.
2. Antiseptic processing.
3. The overlap of the skin with re-treatment of betadine.
4. Overlay aseptic dressing.

Advantages of the operation:

• low probability of re-appearance in the same place;
• acceptable price;
• get rid of pathological tissues as much as possible, which is important in the case of a malignant tumor.

Negative sides:

• the scar remains;
• probability of infectious complications;
• relatively long healing.

Hardware procedures

Hardware procedures include:

• cryodestruction;
• radio wave method;
• laser removal.

Cryodestruction - The use of liquid nitrogen, low temperature allows you to destroy the tissues of pathological formation without damaging healthy tissues. The procedure is practically not felt, and the scars are not formed. The pathological focus will not immediately disappear, but after a few weeks. This method is safe for older people.

Radovolnova - Use of high-frequency radio waves. A feature of the method is the accuracy of execution, a short time of the procedure and the likelihood of use in hard-to-reach places (on centuries).

Laser removal - layered cell removal with a special laser. Ensures the elimination of a cosmetic defect for several sessions, it will not be able to remove everything at once. But the procedure does not have age limitations, bloodless due to vessels, short-term duration.

Folk treatments

Folk medicine allows you to treat keratopapillom on the skin at home. Treatment with folk remedies is varied.

Features of the treatment of seborrheic kerata

From seborrine kerata can be treated by the following methods of dermatology:

1. Removal of the focus by cryodestruction.
2. Laser removal.
3. Chemotherapeutic method.
4. The use of aromatic retinoids.

To remove kerats, a medical neodymium laser is used. The principle of action is similar to the laser removal of other formations - layer-by-layer destruction of cells.

The chemotherapeutic method involves the use of 30% of recipidine and 5% fluorouracyl ointment, solcoderma. Mazi have an antitumor effect. Solkoderm causes mummification of education with a subsequent self-sufficient. Applies only after checking on benignness. As a result, it seeks to reduce keratose elements.

Aromatic retinoids - synthetic analogs of vitamin A. Slow cell division. There are a number of contraindications, assigned individually.

Possible complications and disease prevention

Preventive actions:

• less to the sun;
• do not visit the solarium;
• in the diet there should be a lot of greens (parsley, onions, dill, basil);
• moderate consumption of animal fats;
• refuse bad habits (tobacco and alcohol);
• timely treatment of skin diseases;
• less nervous.

Probable complications:

• inflammation;
• infection with the development of the purulent process;
• the formation of a surround cosmetic defect.

Seborrheic keratosis - includes a whole group of skin diseases, which are combined by the only factor - thickening of the horn layer of the skin. It is noteworthy that the main risk group makes faces older than forty years. Currently, the causes of such pathology are not fully clarified, and clinicians identify a rather narrow circle of predisposing factors, which are based on chemical and mechanical damage to the skin.

The clinical picture will be slightly different depending on the basis of inactive. The most specific symptom is the formation of spots on any portions of the body, except palms and stop.

The establishment of the correct diagnosis will not be a problem for an experimental dermatologist, which is why the diagnosis is based only on a thorough physical inspection, which is personally by the clinician.

The treatment of seborrheic keratosis in the overwhelming majority of cases is carried out by minimally invasive surgical operationsHowever, it is sometimes possible to apply folk medicine.

International classification of diseases allocated similar benign skin pathology a separate value. Code of ICD-10 - L82.

Etiology

Previously it was believed that the disease is one of the symptoms or arises due to the continuous impact of direct sunlight. However, after long-term clinical studies, specialists from the field of dermatology decided it was decided that such theories were not related to seborrheic keratosis, in particular because pathology in the overwhelming majority of cases is diagnosed in people older than a forty-year age.

Nevertheless, predisposing sources are considered:

• multiple mechanical damage to the skin;
• chemical influence of aerosols;
• people in man chronic diseases from side endocrine system;
• a wide range of autoimmune processes;
• uncontrolled reception of some medicines, in particular hormonal substances with estrogen content.

It is believed that a genetic predisposition plays a recent role in the development of such ailment. The diagnosis of such a variety of seborrhea in someone from close relatives by about 40% increases the risks of the formation of similar pathology in the descendants.

Classification

Selection of seborrheic keratosis therapy tactics is directly dictated by the stage of progression of such a disease. Thus, the following steps of leakage are distinguished, slowly replacing each other:

• spot - This is the initial degree in which in addition to yellowish brown spots no other clinical manifestations not visible. Often, the treatment of the disease at such a stage is not carried out, since the disease does not cause discomfort to the patient. In the overwhelming majority of cases, the first spots begin to form aged fifty to sixty years;
• papulose form - The amazed area of \u200b\u200bthe skin begins to change the shade, and the nodule or papula is elevated above its surface. The neoplasms may differ in volumes and numbers;
• keratotic form - There is a formation of an elder wart or. If a little bleeding starts to damage the neoplasm;
• ebaw - At the same time, the formation of skin horns. Most often, at this stage of the flow, patients are treated for qualified help to a dermatologist.

In their way histological structure The disease is divided into:

• flat keratosis - consists of not changed pathological cells;
• annoying seborrheic keratosis - it is distinguished by the fact that the neoplasm is impregnated with a cluster of lymphocytes;
• retacular or adenoid - includes a network cystic education from the horny layer of the epithelium;
• light cell melanoma - acts as the most rare variety of such a disease. The composition of the horn cyst, melanocytes and keratinocytes is noted;
• lichhenoid keratosis - it is distinguished by the fact that in appearance resembles rashes appearing on the background or;
• clonal seborrheic keratosis - in such cases, the tumor includes both small and large pigmented keratinocyte cells;
• keratotic papilloma - consists of epidermis particles of single horny cystic neoplasms;
• follicular inverted keratosis - related histogenetically with the planeepithelial liner of the hair funnel of the hair follicle a benign tumor.

Symptomatics

Seborrheic skin keratosis flows completely asymptomatic, in the sense that it does not impair the patient's well-being, does not bring pain sensations And does not have pronounced symptoms.

However, the disease has such clinical signs:

• formation of single or multiple spots. A favorite location of localization is the skin on the back or chest, on the shoulders or on the face. Several times less than neoplasms are subject to neck and maspress part heads, as well as the rear surface of the forearm and zone of genital organs;
• keratoma in shape resemble a circle or oval;
• based on the size of the neoplasum range from several millimeters to six centimeters;
• have clear boundaries with healthy skin;
• as its progression, they rise above the skin surface;
• often accompanied by itching;
• stains and nodules possess wide spectrum Color gamma ranging from pink and ending with a black tint;
• peeling of the skin in places of lesion;
• warts are covered with fine film, which is easily removed, but at the same time bleed;
• acquisition of a pointed form, why Papula is towers over a healthy skin about one millimeter;
• the energization of the skin involved in the pathological process.

It is also worth noting signs in which you need to seek medical help to the dermatologist. It should be attributed to them:

• strong discomfort, which deliver papulas or nodules - while neoplasms begin to interfere with the fulfillment of ordinary casual affairs;
• severe bleeding;
• joining the inflammatory process;
• significant growth - volumes of stains or knots vary in a major side with each day, which is noticeable even with a naked eye;
• localization of education in a prominent place, which causes not only physical, but also emotional discomfort;
• multiple kerats whose number is constantly increasing;
• attaching pain.

All the above manifestations are characteristic of both sexes.

Diagnostics

Due to the fact that the disease has pronounced symptoms, very often no problems are observed with the establishment of the correct diagnosis.

The basis of the diagnosis is such events:

• study by the clinician of the medical history and life history of the patient - to establish the most characteristic cause of seborrheic keratosis in a particular patient;
• implementation of a thorough physical inspection - to estimate the state of the skin or hair part, which will help determine the number of pathological foci;
• detailed patient survey - to determine availability unpleasant sensationsAs well as in the presence of pronounced symptoms to establish the first time of the occurrence and degree of severity of signs. This will give the doctor to determine the degree of leakage of the pathological process.

Laboratory and instrumental diagnosis is based on a biopsy at which a small particle of neoplasia is taken and subsequent microscopic studies. This is necessary for:

• confirmation of the flow of a benign process;
• identification of infrequent situations of the cast-quality Kerat;
• definition of a variety of illness.

Only after studying the results of all analyzes and surveys, the dermatologist will decide on how to treat seborrheic keratosis individually for each patient.

Treatment

The tactics of therapy will be different depending on which diagnostics was performed at what stage of the flow. For example, before warts or nodules are formed on the skin, specific therapy is not carried out. The only drug technique is the reception ascorbic acid. This will help to avoid further progression of the disease and completely relieve from the initial stages of pathology.

In other cases, seborrheic keratose treatment is aimed at removing neoplasms and is carried out by the following procedures:

• laser therapy - It is that pathological tissues are burned with laser radiation and simply evaporate. After that, there is a small seal on the operation of the operation, which over time is resolved independently;
• radio wave therapy - similar to the previous event is based on the evaporation of the neoplasm, but it is performed under local anesthesia;
• burning with liquid nitrogen - It is distinguished by the fact that the keratoma is burning cold, after which hesifies. There is a small blister at the site of intervention, but he is self-propelled, and healthy skin grows in its place;
• electro-generation - implies excision with the help of an electric scalpel, after which, the place of the warts impose seam.

In rare cases, such techniques of therapy are used:

• appliques using ointments containing fluorouracil, solcoderm and other medicinal substances;
• curetzh;
• folk Medicine.

In the latter case, treatment is carried out using:

• silver from a thin piece of aloe, which is applied to the problem of the body;
• propolis-based compress;
• appliques from crumpled potatoes;
• frames out low husk and vinegar.

It is worth noting that therapy at home should be carried out only after prior counseling and approving the attending physician.

Prevention and forecast

Since the reasons for the development of illness are unknown, preventive measures will be based on the general rules:

• conducting a healthy lifestyle;
• careful skin care;
• minimizing the influence of irritating factors;
• reception of drugs strictly by appointment of a doctor;
• timely treatment of endocrine pathologies.

Also, do not forget that several times a year it is recommended to undergo a complete preventive inspection in a medical institution with a visit to all specialists.

Seborrheic keratosis is a disease that can be cured without applying special efforts. The forecast in the overwhelming majority of cases is favorable. Nevertheless, in 9% of situations, the ill-quality of Kerat occurs.

Is everything correctly in the article from a medical point of view?

Answer only if you have confirmed medical knowledge

The skin kerat is a long-known disease that is common among people over forty years. Information about the symptoms, features (photos) and the treatment of disease in adults is presented in the article Next.

Keratoma is a neoplasm on a human skin of a benign character. The type of keratoma in shape resembles an oval of brown or dark brown. To the touch formation can be rough and have a crust. The disease most often proceeds asymptomatic, but cases were recorded when the kerats were hurned and hurt.

Often people are confused by papilloma and keratom, thinking that this is the same. Externally, the neoplasms are a bit similar, but have completely different symptoms and the cause of the occurrence.

Localization of keratoma

The neoplasms are usually localized on their hands, neck, back and sometimes on the legs, especially often on the face, which delivers psychological discomfort. Each patient has different kerats. Alone has only one, the others their number exceeds several dozen pieces. The spread of kerats by body is spontaneously.

Code of the ICD-10

Keratoma refers to benign formations, respectively, has a code on the ICD-10 - D23 "Other benign skin neoplasms".

Why appears

With age, the skin becomes not susceptible to external factors of impact, and the cells of the epidermis begin to be converted into buried tissues, tested above the skin.

Experts allocate several major factors that contribute to the emergence of kerat:

• age-related skin changes;
• failures B. immune systemse;
• diseases associated with the endocrine system;
• metabolic disease;
• violation of the hormonal background;
• insufficient admission to the body of vitamins and minerals;
• uncontrolled and long-lasting antibiotics;
• impact on the skin of chemicals;
• wearing close synthetic clothing;
• prolonged exposure to sun rays;
• hereditary predisposition (more often on the male line).

What is the danger

Keratoma (what it is and how dangerous it is dangerous, not every person knows a serious illness, first of all, because it is capable of reborn into a cancer tumor. To prevent it, consultation of a qualified medical specialist is necessary With the subsequent observation of the development of the neoplasm.

Of all the species of this neoplascence, such species as solar and housing are characterized by the greatest probability of transition to oncology.

Several factors that can provoke the transition of kerats to the oncological form are distinguished:

• radioactive and ultraviolet radiation;
• careless causing injury, including constant friction of clothing;
• incorrect treatment.

If the keratom is damaged, the healing process will be long. It is impossible to ensure that the neoplasm is bleeding, in which case conditions are created for the penetration of infection.

As reflected on the health of the patient

The neoplasm in the form of kerata in most cases does not cause a person of any discomfort if there are no open areas of the body.

According to statistics, the main complaints are:

• burning;
• pinching;
• cosmetology flaw;
• uncomfortable wearing clothes.

Important! Not all types of kerat can manifest themselves, some of them are invisible to humans, especially if the location site is not visible.

What does keratoma look like at the initial stage

As soon as the skin keratoma begins to form, regardless of its varieties, the main signs and symptoms will be the same:

1. Keratoma (photo - the initial stage proceeds almost imperceptibly - shown in the article) implies the appearance of a small spin of a pale yellow shade.
2. Then the spot acquires a darker color.
3. At the next stage, the neoplasm begins to rise above the skin and resemble a warts.
4. The last stage is characterized by the growth of the neoplasm in width and height with a noticeable peeling and darkening.

Important! Keratoma cannot be scratching and deleted independently, this may entail the infection and the transition to the oncological form.

Senile (seborrheic, seenylon) keratoma - Photo

Seborine keratoma, according to statistics, arises mainly in old age, after fifty years. The causes of the disease are not clarified, but experts with confidence claim that it is non-infectious pathology.

If the size of the neoplasses reaches more than 3 mm, then you need to constantly monitor the development process together with a medical specialist. Only he will be able to determine the seriousness of pathology and appoint effective treatment.

The main features of seborrheic type kerat include the following:

• Seborine type kerats can be located on all parts of the body, with the exception of stop and palms.
• The neoplasms may be accompanied by itching or burning.

The disease is developing slowly, so it is not always possible to immediately understand that it is precisely Keratoma.

Important! If the rapid growth of the neoplasia is noticed, you should contact a qualified oncologist for a detailed examination. These changes may indicate that the keratoma goes into the oncological stage.

Seborine type kerats are determined visually at the reception at a dermatologist. To determine the tendency to cancellation, cell fence is made, namely, histological analysis is carried out.

Keratoma of the skin (photos, symptoms and treatment in adults are reflected in the article) seborrheic type is determined at several stages:

It is impossible to ignore the treatment of elder kerats, because In case of injury, it is capable of moving into a malignant tumor. This species, compared with others, is most often transformed into oncology.

Other types of kerat with photos

There are several more types of kerat, among them allocate:

• actinic;
• follicular;
• corneum.

Keratoma (photo cm below) Actinic species is a disease that manifests itself after forty years. Most of this pathology are people having dry and light skin cover. The neoplasms have an incorrect round shape of brown.

In the area where the keratoma was formed, a slight pinching or itching may occur. This type of kerat is localized in open areas of the skin. Follicular keratoma is a common disease may occur both in children and in an adult population. This type of kerata also has such names as red deprived, goose leather, discratosis.

The most frequent localization places are:

• hips
• buttocks,
• elbows
• knees,
• head,
• arms.

Initially, such symptoms may occur as the blood nodes of a small size, the desire to scratch the neoplasm and the energization of the skin.

Horny keratoma is the born fabric of the epidermis. In the risk group there are people after forty years, because It is after this age that the skin begins to react to the sun and the external impact in a different way. This species can grow from seborrheic (senile) type of kerata.

Provoke education capable:

• virus infections;
• injury to the skin surface;
• volchanka (red or tuberculosis);
• long stay under the right rays of the sun.

To which doctor to turn

Keratoma (what it is, how to treat should find out for consultation with the doctor) is diagnosed by a dermatologist. If necessary, he will send to a consultation to the oncologist. But no reasons for panic, because This neoplasm can be deleted.

The main thing is to be keen on a visit to a qualified medical specialist, otherwise you can skip the transition of the disease in the oncological form.

Diagnosis of the disease

For setting the correct diagnosis, the following studies can be appointed:

• collection of anamnesis using physical inspection;
• conducting an inspection of neoplasms through a dermatoscope;
• conducting histology of kerata;
• taking biopsy;
• holding ultrasonic research internal organs patient;
• blood take to study a hormonal background;
• checking the immune state.

Treatment is appointed only by the attending physician after the studies conducted. In order to eliminate the risk of malignant education, biopsy is taken and a histological study is carried out.

Removal methods

There are several methods for removing kerats.

These include:

• laser Removal;
• electrocoagulation;
• radio wave removal;
• cavity;
• using liquid nitrogen;
• surgical removal method.

Deleting kerats with a laser is considered the most common and better option for the patient. This method allows you to remove the neoplasm so that there will be no scars and scars. This procedure has contraindications, therefore, first of all, the patient is consulted by a dermatologist and a surgeon.

Before you begin to remove, the place where the keratoma was formed is lubricated with a special Blocking the pain of gel. The laser beam affects the new formation point, evaporating damaged cells and not hurt healthy skin. By time, the procedure takes no more than 30 minutes.

After removal of basic education, an additional effect is carried out by a laser beam, which seals vessels and disinfects the surface so that the infection does not penetrate. In place of Keratoma remains a wound, which is delayed within seven days.

Contraindications for laser removal:

• blood blood clotting;
• oncological diseases;
• pregnancy period;
• pathological processes in respiratory organs;
• temperature;
• disorder of kidney and liver;
• diabetes;
• tuberculosis disease.

You can get rid of kerata with an electrocoagulation. This method is to affect the neoplasm electric shock. With it, the affected area is literally cut. After removal at the site of exposure, a crust remains under which the final healing of tissues occurs.

It is impossible to touch the corrger in the rehabilitation period, it will disappear independently after 14 days. This method is most suitable for treatment with kerats that have not achieved a large size. Do not remove kerata in such a method in prominent parts of the body, so as not to leave an ugly scar or scar.

Electro-generation is contraindicated in angina, arrhythmia and pressure problems.

Removal by a kerat radio wave is most often practiced in open areas of the body, for example, on the face. This procedure is carried out without contact with the skin. Impact on the skin high temperatures, evaporating the neoplasm. In place of exposure remains a crust, which is independently without scars and scars on the seventh day after the procedure.

The incineration of the neoplasms is performed using chemicals, namely by acids, alkalis and mineral salts. To date, this procedure is relevant, as it has many contraindications and undesirable consequences.

According to statistics, such a method is used at home, which is fraught with irreversible consequences. Due to incorrectly conducted procedure, the keratoma can be transformed into oncology.

Getting rid of kerata with liquid nitrogen is also a popular procedure in medical practice. By time, the procedure takes no more than two minutes.
