Genital warts are very common. Health experts states that more than a million new cases of genital warts are diagnosed in the United States every year. Unfortunately, the number continues to increase. Based on the most recent health surveys, the prevalence of genital warts among citizens in the United States have increased twice faster than the prevalence rate of genital herpes in the past ten years.

However, not everyone who has the infection manifests symptoms. In fact, only one percent of the HPV infected population develops visible signs and symptoms. That is why you may actually have genital warts but not know about it.

What causes Genital Warts?

Genital Warts are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV). This refers to a group of viruses comprised of more than eighty types. All of these types can cause wounds, lesions, sores, and warts. The most common of these types are Type 6, Type 11, Type 16, and Type 18. Type 6 and 11 are considered as the low-risk HPV types because they are more associated with skin lesions and sores. In contrast, Types 16 and 18 are classified as high risk types since they can cause abnormal cell growth (neoplasia or dysplasia). Such cell malfunction can cause cancers of the cervix or the anus.

How are warts passed on?

Although genital warts are very common, there are ways in avoiding victimization by this plague. To ensure your safety from genital warts, you should be aware of how the HPV virus spreads.

a. The HPV virus can easily be transmitted from one person to another by having sexual intercourse. A person who is sexually active is also highly at risk for genital warts. Regardless of gender and your age, this group is very vulnerable to the infection.

b. The HPV virus can spread not only through actual sexual intercourse. If a person has genital warts and you share the same sex toys, the virus will be transmitted just the same.

c. You don’t need to have penetrative sex to get genital warts. The virus can be easily transmitted through skin to skin contact. Close genital contact can spread the virus.

d. If you are having sexual intercourse with a person with genital warts, you can still get the HPV virus even if you are using a condom. This is because condoms do not cover the entire part of the genital area. As such, you are still highly at risk from transmission through skin to skin contact.

e. The absence of genital warts in a person with HPV virus should not be regarded as an indication that HPV transmission is improbable. Keep it mind that even though genital warts are not visibly present, you can still get the HPV virus.

f. If you have oral sex with a person that has genital warts or a person with the HPV virus, you can develop warts in your lips or in your mouth.

g. If genital warts develop in your genital area, it is highly probable for you to develop warts around your anal area even without anal sex.

h. If no lesions or sores are present from a person infected with the HPV virus, it will not be transmitted through kissing, hugging, sharing towels and utensils, bathing in the same pool, and using the same toilet.

Facial warts can be an embarrassing problem to have. If you are someone who at the wits ends to find a permanent cure for this problem, then there is some good news waiting for you. Facial wart removal is now possible and that too without the use of any prescription medication. There are many proven natural facial wart removal remedies that you can try.

Got a skin tag. Decided to operate…

Mole removal is something which not many people would consider unless it is necessary for various reasons. Some celebrities would even celebrate having those beauty moles on the right places, enhancing their beauty and looks. People would want to get rid of those moles when they are ugly and affect the general appearance of the individual especially when they grow on obvious body areas such as the face, neck or even specifically near the eyes, or mouth. Others remove them because of the enormous numbers they have grown into, affecting the daily activities of the individuals. But there is a third group of people who have no choice but to remove them and these are the ones whose moles have become malignant and cancerous. I would share with you some tips on identifying whether your moles are suspicious and what you show do next.

Moles are skin growths that are generally darker than your surrounding skin. This is understandable as they originate from pigment-producing skin cells called melanocytes. When these cells cluster and congregate together in one place rather than spreading evenly, a mole is born. Moles do not have a specific favorite place to appear as they can show up just about anywhere on our bodies and in the early childhood years.

Adults normally have over 20 moles. If you have noticed those moles on your body, you would realize that over time, some have faded and disappeared, some have grown darker, while some may even have strands of hair. People who are active in sports or are constantly out in the open and exposed to the sun would usually have darker moles.

Most moles if not all are harmless and do not interfere with the lives and activities of people. Majority of the population have no problem with them and can live with it all their lives as they neither cause pain or itch or any form of irritation. Unfortunately, amongst different kinds of skin growths like skin tags, warts, etc, moles have a higher tendency to become cancerous.

Moles can be categorized into 2 main types. One called congenital nevi, the other called atypical moles or dysplastic nevi. As the name suggests, congenital nevi appears at birth and only 1 out of every 100 persons are born with such moles, ie the probability of having such a mole at birth is about 1%. These moles are special because of its greater potential and risk to develop into malignant melanoma, ie cancerous growth than normal moles that appear after birth.

Dysplastic nevi are characterized by its larger-than-normal size. They come in different shapes, sizes and colour. Sometimes, each mole can be non-uniformed in color. Medical studies have revealed that the occurrence of this kind of moles can be linked to hereditary reasons and can get passed down from one generation to another. They become potentially dangerous when the numbers are great ie in the region of up to 100 moles and when they grow out of proportion.

So how do you know if your moles are harmless or malignant? Here are several tips to look out for when scrutinizing your moles.

1. Appearance Change Over Time

I mentioned earlier that the size of mole is a good indicator. If the congenital nevi grows beyond 7 inches, it is a clear sign that it could very well be malignant. However, other than their parents, most adults wonâ??t recall if the moles were developed at birth or after birth. As a simple rule of thumb, if they have grown larger than the size of a pencil tip (eraser tip), it is time to consult the dermatologist. Bleeding and itchiness could signal malignance as well.

2. Number of Moles

When the number of moles increases to such alarming numbers, this is not a healthy sign.

3. Symmetry of Moles

Moles are generally symmetrical in shape and each half should be identical to each other. Unhealthy and cancerous moles are asymmetrical in shape because of the growth.

4. Colour of Moles

Healthy moles are uniform in colour. When a mole becomes cancerous, there is a likelihood of colour change as different colour tones appear.

The above abnormalities should be a strong prompting for you to visit the dermatologist. A simple biopsy would be performed to excise a mole tissue sample for diagnosis.
