Will pseudosharp be itchy?

Pseudovestibular papillomatosis mostly does not cause itching, but it is possible for some individuals to experience itching symptoms, which depend on each person’s specific circumstances. Typically, pseudovestibular papillomatosis appears as clusters of smooth, white or pale red bumps the size of fish eggs. They are usually found on the inner sides of the female labia minora and the vestibule of the vagina, and do not produce noticeable symptoms. The acetic acid white test is also negative. Because pseudovestibular papillomatosis is related to the irritation from female genital secretions, severe vaginal inflammation can potentially cause itching due to local irritation. In such cases, it is important to improve immunity, exercise regularly, change sanitary pads frequently, bathe often, and actively manage vaginal inflammation to alleviate symptoms. Some individuals mistakenly treat pseudovestibular papillomatosis as actual genital warts after visiting unregulated facilities, which is unnecessary.

Early symptoms of damp warts

Genital warts, also known as condyloma acuminata, are a highly contagious sexually transmitted disease. The early symptoms of genital warts manifest as small papules on the external genitals or around the anus. These are usually moist, soft, and pale pink in color. Over time, they gradually increase in number and size, potentially merging to form cauliflower-like or nipple-like growths. These can bleed or exude fluids when touched. It is crucial to seek timely and appropriate treatment for genital warts in their early stages to avoid serious complications.

Initial symptoms of genital warts in women

The initial symptoms of genital warts in women are usually some pale red, soft, and tiny papules which then gradually increase in size and number. These papules may merge with each other, with some overlapping, and the surface becomes rough, resembling cauliflower or cockscomb, or nipple-like formations. If the area is moist and warm or exposed to chronic irritation, the warts can grow more rapidly. Generally, genital warts in women, after being infiltrated by secretions, turn a dirty grey or red color and have a rather soft texture. The base of the genital warts usually has some stalk-like structures. Some genital warts may erode and exude fluid, which also makes them prone to secondary bacterial infections, leading to foul smells. Genital warts in women are primarily caused by the human papillomavirus infection, and the treatment typically involves the use of methods like carbon dioxide laser or cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen.

Symptoms of infectious genital warts

Genital warts are caused by a papillomavirus infection and are a type of sexually transmitted disease, mainly spread through sexual contact. They frequently occur on mucous membranes such as the foreskin, glans, vulva, anal area, or mouth. Initially, a small granulation tissue appears, which gradually proliferates, enlarges, or multiplies, exhibiting a cauliflower-like growth. If the warts grow larger, the surface tissue becomes fragile, and lightly scratching may dislodge a piece of tissue, potentially causing bleeding. Once this disease occurs, it is essential to seek professional treatment at a dermatology department in a reputable hospital, as the disease is highly contagious and prone to recurrence, resulting in a lengthy treatment period. Sexual contact should be avoided until completely cured to prevent transmission to others.

Oral administration of thymopeptide enteric capsules and Awei-A capsules, among other medications; the wart and surrounding tissues can be treated topically with Kangfuxin solution or Huangbai solution for wet compresses. After the surface liquid dries, apply recombinant human alpha-2b interferon gel to inhibit the replication of the virus and prevent recurrence of symptoms. Rest is important.

What should I do after being infected with genital warts?

Genital warts are mainly transmitted through sexual contact and are caused by an HPV virus infection. This disease is highly contagious and recurrent. Once infected, one should not engage in sexual contact and must seek standard treatment at the dermatology department of a formal hospital. Initial treatment typically involves using laser to remove the warts, followed by the application of antiviral medications and oral medications to boost immunity. The treatment period for this disease is quite lengthy, and there is a very high recurrence rate half a month after the first treatment, necessitating multiple treatments at the hospital. During treatment, it is advised to avoid spicy and irritating foods, abstain from alcohol, increase exercise, and enhance immunity. If the disease repeatedly recurs and treatments are ineffective, photodynamic therapy can also be considered. Overall, the treatment costs are relatively high, but with long-term persistent treatment, it can be cured.
