What to do if warts grow on eyelids

Everyone must have heard of the skin disease called warts in life. Warts mainly grow on the surface of human skin, and as time goes by, warts will grow bigger and bigger. Only then will people generally notice the existence of warts. But no matter where the wart grows on the human body, it is an unsightly presence. Especially for some people, warts grow on their faces or even on their eyelids. What should they do at this time?

Are warts on eyelids painful?

Warts Warts generally do not cause pain. Even if it grows on the eyelids, it will not cause pain.

The main symptoms of warts are the appearance of rough and colloid skin and papillary proliferation. The surface of the proliferation has stamen-shaped ulcers that are dirty yellow in color. Except for mild tenderness when pressed, there is generally no pain. The symptoms of warts mainly occur on the back of hands, fingers, feet, face and other parts of the body. The symptoms will continue to spread and worsen depending on the condition of the disease, and can multiply from one to dozens, seriously affecting the appearance of the skin. In recent years, experts have discovered that the occurrence of wart disease is directly related to the patient's body's immune ability. Long-term wart disease may cause immune system diseases and early symptoms such as HIV, cancer, and allergic diseases.

Warts are medically called verrucae. There are no complications. However, many skin growths are similar to warts, such as multiple syringomas around the eyes, fat granules, age spots, etc., which can easily be misdiagnosed as warts. There is currently no special prevention method that can completely avoid the occurrence of warts. The main thing is to cut off the route of transmission and avoid the occurrence of infection.

Treatment of warts, a common disease in children

Currently, the main methods for treating warts include: liquid nitrogen freezing, laser ablation, surgical resection, oral antioxidants, etc.

Liquid nitrogen freezing, laser cauterization and surgical resection are all physical treatments, which have relatively large side effects on the body and cannot eliminate the root cause. For example, liquid nitrogen freezing can freeze the tissues around warts, forming permanent scars and pigmentation. If the operation is not done properly, it can easily cause medical accidents such as wound ulceration. Neither laser burning nor surgery can kill the human papillomavirus that causes warts and achieve the purpose of cure. Moreover, the pigmentation formed by laser is difficult to remove later, and it cannot be used on sensitive areas such as the face and neck.

(1) Local treatment is the main treatment. 5% 5-fluorouracil ointment for external use has side effects such as pigmentation, mild corrosion and burning, but is now mostly replaced by injections with fewer side effects.

(2) Intralesional injection of bleomycin. 0.05%-0.1% bleomycin is used in saline solution or 2% procaine solution

Injection into local lesions, 0.2-0.5 ml once a week depending on the size of the wart.

(3) For those with a small number of scars, cryosurgery, laser treatment, and surgery may be options, but they should be considered with caution because of the scars that may remain.

(4) Antiviral drug treatment.
