I. Initial consultation
The child, female, 7 years old, found a wart on her hand one month ago. After examining the child’s hand, he found a soy-sized wart on his right palm, with a rough surface and a granular feel, consistent with the characteristics of viral warts, the initial diagnosis is viral warts, and liquid nitrogen cryotherapy is recommended.
The actual fact is that the actual person is not a person who is not a person.
The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things. When part of the wart returns to its normal color, then freeze it again and repeat the process 3-5 times. The child was crying during the treatment because he couldn’t stand the pain, but the whole procedure was only a few minutes and was over quickly. The warts are slightly red and swollen after the cryotherapy, which is normal.
Third, the treatment effect
After the liquid nitrogen freezing treatment, a blister appeared on the child’s hand that night, but the blister was not large and did not need to be treated, as long as the blister was absorbed and the wart fell off. The blisters crusted over after 3-5 days of cryotherapy. The child was seen 3 weeks later and the warts and scabs of the viral warts had fallen off and the lesions were very smooth and did not leave scars, so there was no need for a second treatment.
IV. Notes
We are glad that the viral warts on the palms of the children’s hands were cured, but we need to advise the children and their parents that the warts will blister after freezing, so they need to protect the lesions, pay attention to clean and dry, and avoid scratching, so as not to cause infection at the lesions. In addition, you need to pay attention to avoid direct sunlight on the lesions to avoid itching caused by the heat of the lesions. In addition, we need to pay attention to the diet to strengthen nutrition, reasonable arrangement of work and rest, and appropriate participation in physical exercise, which can help strengthen the body resistance.
Five, personal feelings
This is the first time I’ve ever seen a child with viral warts, but the parents did not treat the child in time, resulting in the warts growing larger and larger, which will increase the pain of the child during treatment. So remind the general public, if the skin has any abnormal symptoms, it is best to go to the hospital for examination, early diagnosis, early treatment can reduce pain, avoid aggravation, but also reduce the cost of treatment.
