Types of papillomas

Papillomas, both on the face and on any part of the body, are divided into 3 main types:

In this regard, before eliminating the growths, it is important to first find out the malignancy of the formation. Otherwise, therapy may not give the desired result.

Localization sites on the face

Removal of papillomas on the face can be done with the use of medicines or the hardware method. The choice of manipulations depends on the degree of danger of education and its location.

The main places of localization of papillomas on the face are:

• eyelids and near the eyes... Mostly filamentary and pointed growths are noted;
• eyebrows... Any types of papillomas can be localized near the eyebrows. The danger lies in the likelihood of injury in the process of cosmetic manipulations;
• cheeks... Flat formations prevail, which can be located both on the outer surface of the cheeks and on the inner. The growths on the mucous membrane are dangerous with regular injury during the meal;
• forehead... In this area, papillomas of any kind can be located. The most dangerous site of localization is along the hairline. Since when combing, they can be regularly injured, which can lead to the degeneration of formations;
• the chin... There are outgrowths of a flat or pointed appearance. It is recommended for the male sex to eliminate these growths immediately, since they will be constantly injured in the process of shaving;
• near lips... Peaked and flat papillomas predominate, which attract considerable attention, creating aesthetic discomfort;
• near the ears... In this zone, flat papillomas are more often noted. Their location near the ear canal is dangerous, since they can be injured during hygiene procedures;
• in the area of ​​the nose... Formations of any kind can be localized. Their presence causes severe psychological discomfort.

• when the growth is located in the eye area, it can interfere with the view, as a result, visual impairment is noted. Additionally, when the formation is localized on the eyelids, they can interfere with blinking (that is, moisturizing the mucous membrane) and completely closing the eyes for a period of night rest;
