Infection with HPV does not always lead to the appearance of growths with an unpleasant appearance.
To activate the pathogen, the provoking action of one of several negative factors is necessary - a decrease in immunity, chronic diseases of the digestive tract, long-term stress, hormonal failure.
The activation of the virus leads to the fact that it begins to multiply actively in the epithelium, changes the structure of the cells of this layer of the skin, and as a result, a small tumor begins to appear on the body.
It can be in the form of flat or filiform papillomas, warts, genital warts growing in the genital area, plantar papillomas on the feet.
The main danger of the formation of papillomas on the body lies in the possibility of injury and infection.
Condylomas on the external and internal genital organs can form in the presence of oncogenic strains of HPV in the body and therefore can indicate the possibility of cancer development. There is also a risk of multiple occurrence of papillomas on the body from one first formation.
