What is a wart
A wart is a benign epithelial tumor caused by the human papillomavirus
A wart is a benign epithelial tumor, the occurrence of which is caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV): modern science knows more than 100? its genotypes. This pathogen penetrates the cells of the skin or mucous membranes.
Most often, warts appear on the hands and feet, but they can appear on any part of the skin or mucous membranes. Its replication occurs primarily in differentiated epithelial cells in the upper layers of the epidermis. HPV causes accelerated proliferation of skin cells and disruption of keratinization, which leads to the appearance of peculiar growths on it. Such benign skin growths cause awkwardness and embarrassment to their owners, and their presence can be associated with significant discomfort.
After initial contact, HPV can remain in the skin cells in an inactive state, without causing the appearance of warts (the incubation period can last several months). This means that many people, without knowing it, are already carriers of the virus.
HPV leads to the appearance of vulgar, plantar and flat warts, as well as genital warts. The first of them are sharply limited, grayish-white, dense, hemispherical nodules that rise above the skin level. Their surface can be covered with papillary growths in the form of cauliflower. Plantar warts are dense and painful formations with pronounced horny layers, most often localized on the feet in the heel area.
Flat (juvenile) warts look like flattened small nodules of a grayish-yellow color, slightly protruding above the surface of the skin. They are localized on the back of the hands, forearms, on the face and neck, as well as between the fingers and near the nails.
Warts can disappear spontaneously without treatment, but another possible scenario is that they may increase in size and number. Given the viral etiology, warts are a contagious disease.
Discoverers
Nitrogen does not have a specific scientist who is considered the discoverer of this element. More precisely, there are, but a few. It is now impossible to find out who exactly owns the laurels of the discovery.
1772 is an important year for the chemical element. Four scientists came very close to the discovery of nitrogen. These are the British chemist Henry Cavendish, the discoverer of oxygen Joseph Priestley, the Swedish pharmaceutical chemist Karl Scheele, and the Scottish chemist Daniel Rutherford. All of them at the same time carried out various studies and experiments with gases. These people came close to discovering a new chemical element. But it is impossible to single out any of them as a clear discoverer.
Why carry out the procedure
Cryodestruction is widely used to remove warts, moles, papillomas, condylomas and other formations that are located on the surface of the skin
Cryodestruction is widely used to remove warts, moles, papillomas, condylomas and other formations that are located on the surface of the skin. This method removes defects on the arms, legs, shoulders and other parts of the body with the exception of the face.
Thanks to excellent aesthetic results, absolute painlessness and a number of other advantages, cryodestruction is widely used in cosmetology, dermatology, as well as gynecology in the treatment of cervical erosions, papillomas and polyps, urology for the removal of condylomas, proctology during the treatment of hemorrhoids or polyps, otolaryngology for inflammation tonsils. It can also be used for large benign tumors and skin cancer.
How does the procedure work?
Liquid nitrogen is applied to the cleaned area of skin using a special device or, if one is not available, with a sprayer or cotton swab
Liquid nitrogen is applied to the cleaned area of skin using a special device or, if one is not available, with a sprayer or a cotton swab. It is important that the diameter of the tampon is smaller than the diameter of the tumor. The amount of liquid nitrogen required is determined in each case individually and depends on the type of formation and its size.
When removing warts, the amount of nitrogen is determined by their location and size. If warts are located on the palms, fingers, or feet, local anesthesia may be used.
Removal of tumors is usually carried out in several stages:
- Treatment of the skin with liquid nitrogen, accompanied by blanching of the skin, tingling, burning and other mild sensations
- Impaired local circulation and overflow of blood vessels with blood 2 hours after freezing
- Formation of blisters filled with blood or serous contents over the next 24 hours
- Dying of the skin over 2 weeks - 2 months with gradual rejection of the crust and the formation of healthy skin
- Complete skin restoration.
Removing growths with nitrogen
The most popular method of getting rid of skin growths is cryodestruction. The price of services varies depending on the institution in which the manipulation is performed, the type of tumor, the area affected, the size and number of tumors. The most expensive places are intimate organs, face, soles, fingers.
Localized growths with an area of 0.5 cm can be removed in a medical office for 500−700 rubles . The larger the wart, the more expensive the procedure will cost. If you need to process several elements at once, the clinic usually offers a discount.
The quality of the operation directly depends on the chosen specialist , so this issue must be approached with the utmost seriousness. A doctor who selects the wrong dosage of nitrogen can permanently leave an aesthetic mark on the skin in the form of a scar or scar.
The freezing procedure is contraindicated in the following conditions:
- epilepsy at any stage;
- vasospasm;
- individual case of nitrogen intolerance;
- hypertension, high blood pressure;
- pregnancy.
If there is a rash or any irritation around the wart, handling liquid nitrogen or any similar type of drug is prohibited . It is also not recommended to remove growths in case of ARVI, flu, colds, any inflammatory processes and elevated body temperature.
Description of the procedure
Removal of warts at low temperatures is carried out using a spray can with an applicator. Cryodestruction is aimed directly at the wart, acting for 20-30 seconds.
The device is a reservoir with a substance, at the end of which there is a tube with a cotton swab, through which the drug is supplied.
During the freezing process, the neoplasm begins to fade, turn white and thicken . After the procedure, the treatment site swells and turns red, and after some time a bubble with serous or hemorrhagic contents forms at this site. The blister resolves on its own within a week, and in its place a crust appears, which after a while disappears and leaves behind young, pink skin.
When it is necessary to cure juvenile papillomas, the doctor only performs skin shading .
With this procedure, the specialist treats the surface of the epithelium several times per session with quick rotational movements. The skin first turns white, then becomes crusty and eventually peels off along with the growths.
Is it possible to buy liquid nitrogen at a pharmacy?
There is no more effective remedy for the treatment of warts, papillomas, and various problematic skin diseases. But is it possible to buy liquid nitrogen at a pharmacy, since beauty salons charge exorbitant amounts of money for the procedure?
After visiting a beauty salon once to have a wart removed and seeing that the procedure is simple, many people think about doing it themselves. But is it possible to buy liquid nitrogen at a pharmacy, will they sell it?
This question is asked, as a rule, by very great comedians who are not familiar with the laws of physics. The fact is that the boiling point of this substance is -196 degrees. That is, it is stored at lower temperatures in special refrigerators or cryogenic installations. To buy liquid nitrogen at a pharmacy, the buyer would, at a minimum, need a special Dewar flask and skills in handling this substance. Moreover, liquid nitrogen can be very dangerous if used incorrectly. For this reason, it is sometimes available in pharmacies, but is not sold.
In addition, despite the apparent simplicity of removing warts with liquid nitrogen, there are quite a few nuances to using this substance. In cosmetology, this is taught for quite a long time, because the skin can get severe burns. Cryotherapy involves dosed freezing taking into account the Leidenfrost effect. If there is not enough experience, a scar may appear at the site of the removed wart.
So you shouldn’t look for liquid nitrogen in pharmacies and self-medicate; it’s better to try some folk methods of removing defects. And it’s better not to try folk remedies on your face, because even warts on your hands are treated very carefully.
If you still need to get liquid nitrogen somewhere, then it is better to look for it not in a pharmacy, but at manufacturing plants.
History of the discovery of nitrogen
There is still debate about who was the discoverer. In 1772, Scottish physician Daniel Rutherford , by passing air through hot coal and then through an aqueous solution of alkali, obtained a gas that he called “poisonous gas.” It turned out that a burning splinter brought into a vessel filled with gas goes out, and a living creature quickly dies in the atmosphere of this gas. By the way, you can see the experiment with a hot splinter in the video.
At the same time, the British physicist Henry Cavendish , conducting a similar experiment, obtained N2, calling it “suffocating air”, the British naturalist Joseph Priestley gave it the name “dephlogisticated air”, the Swedish chemist Wilhelm Scheele - “ spoiled air."
The final name “nitrogen” was given by the French scientist Antoine Laurent de Lavoisier.
The word "nitrogen" is of Greek origin and means "lifeless."
Nitrogen is quite easily absorbed by hot calcium carbide, forming an important technical product - calcium cyanamide, and this has already been written about in the article on the production of acetylene from calcium carbide.
Wartner Cryo
When using the WARTNER wart removal device, the wart is immediately frozen (the skin turns pale, a tingling sensation may occur, which quickly passes). As a result of freezing, a blister forms under the wart (sometimes it can be visible to the naked eye). After 10–14 days, the wart gradually disappears or falls off, and within a month, normal skin is restored in its place.
In most cases, WARTNER allows you to get rid of a wart in 1 session. The WARNER wart removal device is not used in the presence of an inflammatory process on the skin, as well as in areas with thin or sensitive skin: on the face, neck, armpits, chest, buttocks. WARNER is not used to remove genital warts.
It is important that in 1 session it is necessary to apply the application to only 1 wart: each subsequent wart is treated separately with an interval of 2 weeks.
| Table | Duration of WARTNER application |
| Wart diameter, mm | Duration of application, s |
| <2,5 | 10 |
| 2,5–5 | 15 |
| >5 | 20 |
The WARTNER wart removal device can be used in adults as well as in children over 4 years of age.
So, if the Indian summer matches the calendar, we will still have to flaunt in open outfits for a long time. Consequently, this is another reason to get rid of cosmetic defects in the form of warts: the WARTNER wart removal device will be a reliable ally in this matter.
Striving for excellence with Wartner Cryo
WARNER is a modern and effective method of removing warts in one cold application, which can be used at home at a time convenient for the patient
The appearance of unaesthetic warts is accompanied by negative experiences, which is why starting treatment should not be put off for a long time. Warts can be a source of discomfort, cause pain and bleeding, especially when localized in places of frequent trauma. In addition, when the skin is damaged, warts grow easily.
Today there is a simple, convenient way to deal with this problem at home, without making an appointment with a dermatologist or resorting to medications - the WARTNER wart removal device. The use of this device eliminates the need for patients to undergo cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen in a medical institution. A convenient alternative to this is WARNER - a modern and effective method of removing warts in one cold application, which can be used at home at a time convenient for the patient.
The WARTNER Wart Remover contains an alternative refrigerant, a mixture of dimethyl ether and propane, which successfully freezes warts at -57°C throughout their entire depth.
Due to its simplicity and safety of use, this method of cryotherapy has become available for patients to use independently at home.
In addition to the 50 ml refrigerant aerosol can, the WARTNER kit also includes 12 disposable applicators for removing 12 warts, a holder for them and detailed instructions. Thanks to the presence of an applicator, the freezing mixture acts locally on the lesion, preventing contact with healthy areas of the skin, which cannot always be avoided when using aggressive acids and alkalis to treat warts.
Advantages and disadvantages of the drug
The drug "CryoPharma" is convenient and safe for home treatment of warts.
The main advantage of CryoPharma is the ability to use it at home. It is simple and easy to use and does not require special preparatory operations or doctor's prescriptions. The procedure can be carried out by the patient himself or ask for help; it does not require any special skills or abilities. The drug is completely safe if you follow the instructions. Does not harm the environment. The presence of 12 applicators included with the balloon allows for repeated use. Removal occurs within a period of 2 weeks. You can treat children older than 4 years. After use, no scars or scars appear.
The disadvantage of the drug is that users note its high price (although it is lower than hardware procedures). Unpleasant sensations during freezing, and if the instructions are not followed, the possibility of swelling, welts and scars also do not add to the advantages of CryoPharma. If the applicator is held for longer than prescribed, burns may occur.
CryoPharma
How does CryoPharma work? When you press the applicator onto the surface of the wart, it immediately freezes the wart down to the base. There may be a slight burning or tingling sensation of the skin, as a result of the process of tissue freezing, as well as its whitening. After removing the sponge applicator, the skin color is restored.
After the freeze has weakened and the color of the skin has been restored, the frozen surface may acquire a reddish tint. After a few days, as a result of freezing, a blister may form under the wart, invisible to the naked eye.
The frozen skin on the surface of the wart falls off after 10-14 days. During this time, new healthy skin forms under the blister. If the wart or part of it has not disappeared 14 days after the first treatment, you can repeat the treatment without any risk to your health.
One package of “CryoPharma” is designed to remove 12 warts.
Directions for use and doses
- Insert the sponge applicator into the applicator holder.
- Insert the applicator holder into the aerosol can for 3 seconds.
- Hold the white tip of the applicator on the wart for the length of time indicated in the table below.
| Type of wart | Wart diameter | Exposure time |
| Common and flat warts, as well as warts localized on the arches and toes | Less than 2.5 mm | 10 Seconds |
| From 2.5 to 5.0 mm | 15 seconds | |
| More than 5.00 mm | 20 seconds | |
| Plantar warts localized in areas exposed to pressure | Any size | 40 seconds |
Side effects
Side effects
- As with any other method of cryotherapy, a temporary appearance of a white ischemic ring around the site of application of CryoPharma® for feet is possible.
- CryoPharma® for feet should be used in strict accordance with the instructions for use. Excessive and prolonged exposure to cold can lead to damage to the top layer of skin and, as a result, scarring and/or damage to nerve endings.
- If the product gets on healthy skin of the foot (which may be a consequence of using the applicator for more time than recommended in the instructions), local damage to surrounding tissues is possible.
- Therefore, it is very important to remember that the applicator should be on the affected area for at least 10 and no more than 40 seconds. Use the chart below to determine the exact exposure time.
