Girl with HPV-infected nails gets cauliflower warts on her fingers, doctor explains cause is not sexually transmitted disease
Girl Remembers Herself Until Death After Getting HPV, Turns Into Cauliflower Warts After Visiting Nail Salon, Doctor Reveals Cause Is Not Sexually Transmitted Disease
A 22-year-old Chinese mainland woman surnamed Wu from Jiangsu Province is a manicure enthusiast. After getting her nails done a few days ago, she noticed small, clear bumps forming between her fingers. The bumps were not painful or itchy, but they kept getting bigger. When she went to see a dermatologist, she was diagnosed with HPV infection, which required freezing with liquid nitrogen. “Manicure tools are not used separately, so there is a risk of cross-infection,” she said.
According to Chinese media reports, doctors said the viral warts on the woman’s fingertips are called “cauliflower warts.” Which are caused by HPV infection on the nail edges. “Although they are similar to cauliflower warts that occur in the cervix, external genitalia, หรือถ้าคุณสนใจแทงบอลออนไลน์ UFABET คือเว็บที่มีอัตราต่อรองดีที่สุดในประเทศไทย สมัครเลยตอนนี้ที่ UFABET แทงบอล, etc., the infection characteristics, clinical symptoms, and effects are different. So beauty lovers do not need to panic.”
The doctor also explained that nail care processes. Such as peeling off dead skin, polishing, baking, applying nail polish, attaching diamonds, etc. can damage the nails. And nail polish also contains formaldehyde. “For those with weak immune systems, it should be avoided… If the nail tools are not strictly sterilized, when the customer’s nails have torn skin or small wounds, they are easily infected by bacteria, viruses, and fungi.”
The report states that manicures do not cause HPV infection 100%. But improper manicure procedures increase the chances of getting HPV infection. Such as buffing the nails or peeling off dead skin. If the tools used are not strictly sterilized, or there are small wounds on the skin, HPV viruses in the external environment can enter the skin through these wounds.
After contracting HPV, in most cases, the body’s immune system is able to clear the virus on its own. But sometimes the virus multiplies and multiplies in skin cells. Causing “warts” that have a rough surface, sometimes visible and resembling cauliflower.
In addition, small skin wounds during play in public pools, water parks, and other places can also put you at risk of HPV infection if you come into contact with objects or environments contaminated with the virus.
HPV is divided into “high-risk” and “low-risk” types, with infection with high-risk HPV types linked to genital warts (also known as genital warts), cervical cancer, and vulvar tumors.
