Verrucae palmares et plantares
Verrucae palmares et plantares, commonly known as Palmoplantar warts, are a specific type of HPV infection that primarily affects the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet. They are a form of common warts, and are caused by a variety of strains of the HPV virus.
Etiology[edit | edit source]
Verrucae palmares et plantares are caused by the HPV virus, specifically types 1, 2, 4, 27, and 57. The virus is typically contracted through direct contact with an infected individual or by touching a surface that an infected individual has touched, such as a towel or a floor.
Symptoms[edit | edit source]
The primary symptom of verrucae palmares et plantares is the presence of small, hard growths on the palms of the hands or the soles of the feet. These growths may be painful, particularly when pressure is applied. In some cases, the warts may also cause itching or discomfort.
Diagnosis[edit | edit source]
Diagnosis of verrucae palmares et plantares is typically made through a physical examination. In some cases, a biopsy may be performed to confirm the diagnosis.
Treatment[edit | edit source]
Treatment for verrucae palmares et plantares typically involves the use of topical medications, such as salicylic acid, to remove the warts. In some cases, more aggressive treatments, such as cryotherapy or laser therapy, may be used.
Prevention[edit | edit source]
Prevention of verrucae palmares et plantares involves avoiding direct contact with individuals who have the infection, as well as avoiding contact with surfaces that an infected individual may have touched. Regular hand washing and the use of hand sanitizers can also help to prevent the spread of the virus.
