Hello, verruca vulgaris, like condyloma acuminatum, is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). They are two different types of warts. There are many subtypes of human papillomavirus 100, and different subtypes of human papillomavirus infection can cause different clinical manifestations: HPV 1, 2, 4 and 7 can cause verruca vulgaris, and HPV6, 1 1,1. Therefore, condyloma acuminatum and verruca vulgaris can usually be distinguished according to the place where they occur, but in a few cases, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish patients with verrucous new organisms in perineum and other parts simply from the clinical point of view, and it is necessary to distinguish them by molecular biology techniques when necessary.

Diagnosis of condyloma acuminatum;

If vegetation or small warts are found in genitals, perianal region, perineum and vagina, it should be suspected to be condyloma acuminatum. If the wart is single or multiple small papules, papillae, cauliflower-shaped or cockscomb-shaped, with rough surface, pedicled roots or fused into blocks, it can basically be identified as condyloma acuminatum. Atypical lesions should be combined with acetic acid white test. That is, a gauze or cotton swab dipped in 5% glacial acetic acid solution is tightly applied to the affected area. After 2-5 minutes, it was observed that if it was condyloma acuminatum, it turned white locally and was a positive reaction; Pseudo condyloma is negative, that is, it does not change color. If there is local inflammation, it can be a false positive reaction, and pathological examination can be done if necessary.

Characteristics of verruca vulgaris:

Verruca vulgaris is a benign new organism on the epidermis caused by virus infection. This disease is more common in children and young people. Common in the back of the hand, fingers, feet, nails. Sometimes there is only one female wart, and sometimes the infection suddenly increases due to self-inoculation. Its pathological changes are round or polygonal fleshy nodules with needle tip size to bean grain size on the skin, and there are many fleshy filamentous protrusions on the surface, which are dry and rough. It feels hard and a little tender. Scattered distribution.
