Лечение
Conservative treatment:
Chemical degradation: the use of acids and alkalis to destroy warts. The solution is applied by a doctor or independently by a patient at home, without anesthesia, causing a chemical burn. The dense crust disappears after 7-10 days, depending on the size of the wart. Physical destruction: removal by electricity, laser or radio waves. It is performed under local anesthesia, healing takes 2-3 weeks. Cryodestruction: freezing of the wart with liquid nitrogen. Cell death and tissue rejection occur in 2-3 weeks. Photodynamic therapy: application of a photosensitive drug followed by irradiation with light, destroying the cells of the wart. The wound heals in 2-3 weeks.
