Growths on the skin: photo and name

Skin growths are a fairly common occurrence that occurs in many patients. Today, dermatologists note a rapid increase in the number of patients complaining of various bulges and irregularities of the epidermis. The article provides a photo, true name and description of growths on the skin, which can be either benign or malignant. Even the smallest visible defect on the skin of the body, arm, leg or mucous membrane causes alarm, because it may turn out to be a “bell” of a dangerous disease.

Most often, growths on the skin are represented by the following pathologies:

All of the above pathologies have different symptoms. Those found on the skin of the arms and legs are written separately. Let's look at the most common diseases.

Growths on the skin called seborrheic keratosis (+ photo).

This skin disease appears as a wide variety of plaques and growths of brown, black or pink on any surface of the body, but is most often localized on the chest, neck, face and upper back. The reasons that cause the disease are not fully understood. In the course of numerous studies, doctors have put forward three versions of the occurrence of seborrheic keratosis:

  • Age factor - the older a person gets, the more likely it is to develop the disease;
  • Genetic factor – hereditary risk of disease transmission;
  • Solar radiation.
  • As can be seen in the photo, growths on the skin of the seborrheic keratosis type often have black or white grains of horny cysts on their surface. Seborrheic keratosis extremely rarely degenerates into squamous cell carcinoma, however, if there is a sudden active appearance of new spots and their growth, you should consult a specialist, as this may be a sign of a malignant tumor in the internal organs.

    Actinic keratosis – yellow growths on the skin (+ photo).

    This type of growth appears as scaly and rough plaques with a yellowish tint on skin that is red at the base. Appears on those parts of the body, arms, legs, face that are exposed to solar radiation (tanning). Quite often, growths on the skin (see photo) called actinic keratosis turn into squamous cell skin cancer. This happens in about 20% of cases. However, when there are many such growths, the danger of degeneration increases sharply. Solar keratosis occurs most often in men and women over 55 years of age. The disease is characterized by a slow and painless development, so many patients do not pay attention to it. The only drawback at the initial stage is cosmetic.

    Growths on the skin called warts.

    Almost everyone is familiar with juvenile warts on the fingers. However, there are other types of growths on the skin of the legs, arms, face and body under this name. They are caused by other types of human papillomavirus and look somewhat different (see photo). Skin growths called warts are mostly harmless. However, some of them degenerate or contribute to the appearance of squamous cell skin cancer.

    Types of growths from hardened skin (warts):

  • Periunguals. The name speaks for itself - such warts are located near the nails. Most often, they are flat, rough, with light, dense horny foci of hardened skin. On the fingers, growths on the skin (pictured) can disrupt the growth of nails, giving them an ugly shape.
  • Plantar. They are located on the soles of the feet and are usually dark in color. They resemble calluses of hardened skin. However, they are located in areas where there is no friction. They have dark dots on the surface (see photo). Growths on the legs cause discomfort and pain when walking.
  • Thread-like. This is a rare type of growth with thin horny spines on the top, directed in different directions.
  • Growths on the skin of papilloma in the photo.

    The human papillomavirus is one of the most common in the world. In Russia, both warts and condylomas can be called papillomas. However, it is more correct to call growths on the skin (see photo) in the form of single thin outgrowths resembling a papilla. The route of transmission of the virus is contact and sexual. An exacerbation of the disease is observed in patients who have a weakened immune system, are exposed to stress and hormonal disorders.

    Growths on the skin called condylomas.

    These are growths on the mucous membranes or skin of the genital organs, which in their shape are similar to scallops or a sharp dome. The human papillomavirus, which causes condylomas, is detected in 40-80% of people, however, it manifests itself in only 3% of cases. Skin growths called condylomas are not only cosmetic, some of them contribute to the spread of cancer.

    Photo of skin growths called soft fibroids.

    These growths are skin-colored, soft to the touch, and have stalks that taper at the base. Consists of mature connective tissue elements. The neoplasm is solitary and has clear boundaries. The diameter of soft fibroids can be up to several centimeters. The skin on the surface is by no means roughened; its normal color is preserved, in some cases slightly darker than usual (see photo). Skin growths with this name often appear in people of “age”, as well as in those whose body weight is clearly exceeded. Their locations: armpits, folds under the breasts and in the groin area, eyelids, the front surface of the neck.

    The growths on the skin in the photo are called intradermal nevi.

    This is a benign skin defect, but in some cases it can develop into melanoma. Unlike most other nevi, they are often flesh-colored. In view of this, instead of the usual popular term, “mole” is often called “growth” by patients. Melanocytes in an intradermal nevus are located deep in the dermis and undergo self-destruction there, therefore, the dark color is lost. Over time, growths on the skin (pictured) under this name become more and more prominent. Dense to the touch. The skin on the surface is not roughened and may have protruding hairs.

    Growths of hardened skin of the form cutaneous horn.

    The cutaneous horn is a benign growth covered with very rough skin, the horny masses on the surface of which become more and more protruding, forming a semblance of a horn. Cutaneous horn develops from unchanged skin, actinic or seborrheic keratosis. Skin growths under this name mainly affect older people. In most cases, it develops into squamous cell carcinoma. Over time, the skin at the base of the cutaneous horn becomes increasingly dense, roughened, and reddened, which indicates malignant degeneration. Particular attention should be paid if the cutaneous horn appears on the lip, nose, cheeks or ears. Transition to squamous cell carcinoma in these areas is most dangerous.

    Squamous cell keratinizing cancer in the form of growths on the skin (with photo).

    This is a malignant formation, which is characterized by rapid development and aggressive course. Metastases primarily affect the nearest lymph nodes, then penetrating into neighboring internal organs. It is often formed from hardened skin, warts, chronic ulcers, scars, cutaneous horn, actinic keratosis or keratoacanthoma. Sometimes, it is located in the thickness of the tissue and this causes difficulties in timely differentiation. Skin growths under this name are usually diagnosed in adulthood. According to statistics, of all cases of skin cancer detected, 25% are squamous cell carcinoma; in three out of four cases, the malignant tumor is localized on the head or face.

    Atheroma growth on the skin with photo.

    Skin atheroma is a tumor that appears from a clogged sebaceous gland, in which its secretions accumulate. As a result, it increases in size, becomes overgrown with a capsule, and can periodically become inflamed. The presence of a blocked dilated excretory duct of the sebaceous gland in the form of a yellowish or dark brown dot is characteristic.

    Precancerous skin growth keratoacanthoma in the photo.

    Keratoacanthoma is caused by rare types of human papillomavirus. In appearance it resembles some variants of the development of squamous cell skin cancer. It grows quickly and reaches a decent size. If left untreated, it may disappear on its own over time. However, there is a high probability of developing into squamous cell carcinoma.

    Growths on the skin of the hands (with photo).

    Growths on the hands bring a person enormous cosmetic discomfort, especially if they are located on the fingers. Young people and children are most often diagnosed with juvenile warts in the form of rough, dense skin on the fingers. You can also find growths of other types of warts on your hands. For example, periungual, flat, filiform, or even plantar. The latter will appear as rough, reddened, rough skin on the forearms, or the back of the hands, and be large in size.

    In older people, seborrheic or actinic keratosis often occurs on the hands. Often such growths on the skin (pictured) will be located on the back surface of the hands, forearms, and the outer surface of the shoulder, where more sunlight falls. In these same areas, the likelihood of cutaneous horn and squamous cell carcinoma is high.

    Growths on the skin of the arms called papillomas or soft fibromas, on the contrary, most often appear on the inner surface of the shoulder, in the axillary areas, where the skin is subject to thorns. This contributes to the spread of human papillomavirus and the growth of papillomas. Injury to the subcutaneous tissue by thorns causes the growth of soft fibroids.

    Growths on the skin (with photo) of the legs.

    Growths on the skin of the feet called warts, their plantar and periungual varieties are found in the corresponding areas. Plantar warts on the heels are very painful. However, flat, thread-like warts may be found on the legs and thighs. And, on the inner surface of the upper third of the thigh, there are also condylomas.

    Even experienced doctors cannot always recognize the transition of a wart to squamous cell carcinoma (its verrucous form). In addition, long-term non-healing wounds, trophic ulcers, and varicose veins are still found on the legs. All this can serve as both a source and a disguise for emerging squamous cell carcinoma. Doctors and the patient may decide that just another exacerbation has occurred when a growth appears on the skin with the true name of squamous cell carcinoma. Hence diagnostic errors and tragic endings.

    Actinic and seborrheic, cutaneous horn, squamous cell carcinoma on the legs does not appear so often. For most men, these areas are not exposed to much sunlight. However, these types of growths on the legs, on the skin of the dorsum of the feet, on the legs, most often appear in women (exposed to the sun in summer).

    Growths on the skin of the arms and legs also require serious attention, even if they are painless and seem harmless. If any such skin defect is detected, you should contact a dermatologist or oncologist to make an accurate diagnosis and choose further solution to the problem.

    Where does hand fungus come from and how to get rid of it? Medicines and folk remedies

    Hand skin fungus (see photo below) is a rarer phenomenon than foot fungus (the ratio of the frequency of diagnosing hand and foot fungus can be displayed as proportions 1:3 - 1:7 according to various sources).

    Hand fungus occurs much less frequently than foot fungus, but is still a very unpleasant disease.

    The basis of nutrition for almost all types of fungus is keratin. It is for this reason that, first of all, those areas in which this protein is most accessible are involved in the pathological process: nails, hair and skin. When a fungal infection of the skin occurs, the disease is called “mycosis”.

    The fungal infectious agent that causes mycosis (skin and nail fungus) on the hands most often belongs to one of the following types:

  • dermatophytes (mainly the genus Trichophyton: T. mentcigrophytes and T. rubrum);
  • Candida yeast fungi (1/4 of diagnosed cases of hand mycoses).
  • At the same time, all fungi are divided into the following groups according to their damaging ability:

  • zooanthropphilous (capable of causing mycoses in most animals and humans);
  • anthropophilic (only humans get sick);
  • bestial (only animals can get sick, people do not get infected).
  • The hands are affected by dermatophytes upon contact with a person suffering from mycosis (extremely rarely with a carrier).

    This is interesting! There is a term called “one hand, two feet syndrome.” This name reflects the mechanism of infection: while caring for one’s feet, a person infects one’s own palm (left-handers – the left, and right-handers – the right, respectively).

    Taking care of fungal-infected feet can infect your hands.

    Mycosis on the hands is more common among older people (aged 65 years and older), mostly affecting the male population. However, nail fungus and fungus on the skin of the hands also occur in women, who, in turn, are more susceptible to infection by yeast-like fungi. In children, skin fungus and nail lesions are very rare, however, they are accompanied by painful, weeping rashes.

    The risk group for the incidence of mycoses includes housewives, cooks, confectioners, cleaners, dishwashers, workers of saunas, swimming pools and baths. Simply put, these are those people whose hands are exposed to prolonged exposure to detergents, solutions, water, dough, alkalis, which disrupt the structure of the protective layer of the dermis, causing it to become fragile and crack. These factors create a favorable environment for the penetration and development of fungus on the fingers. Even completely healthy people can be unsuspecting carriers of fungal microflora, and damaged areas of the skin instantly become entry points for infection.

    By the way, the likelihood of infection is no less high among people who use antibacterial soap instead of regular toilet soap when washing their hands multiple times daily.

    So, what other conditions can cause the activation of opportunistic fungal infectious microflora? There are many of them:

  • weakening of the body - stress, long-term illness;
  • unbalanced diet;
  • pregnancy period;
  • adolescence, old age;
  • failure to comply with hygiene rules;
  • long-term use of antibacterial agents;
  • undergone chemotherapy;
  • diabetes
  • endocrine disruptions.
  • Usually, fungi live peacefully and quietly on a person’s body and do not cause him harm.

    Important! Any mycosis signals that not everything is fine in the body, and it would be very helpful to have a comprehensive examination.

    Hand skin fungus (mycosis) is an alarming signal that says that not everything is okay with the body

    The infection often goes undetected for a long time because people simply have no idea what the fungus looks like and mistake its symptoms for irritation and a local allergic reaction.

    • Dermatophytoses . When infected with dermatophyte fungi, the mycotic lesion begins to manifest itself from the interdigital folds, often with a regular skin crack.
      1. White stripes and spots on the nails – leukonychia (can occur due to a lack of vitamins);
      2. Itching in the palms;
      3. Redness and maceration (wetting) of the skin;
      4. Yellow areas and stains in the thickness of the nail plate;
      5. Callus of the skin;
      6. Skin cracks in the skin, especially in the interdigital (3,4,5) spaces;
      7. Interdigital peeling of the skin, crater-like formations on the palms;
      8. Bubbles, then erosive foci of fusion;
      9. Allergic rash (can reach the level of the elbow joint, mostly typical for pediatric patients).
      10. Itching in the palms is one of the signs of mycosis

        • Candidiasis . In 84% of cases, Candida albicans is to blame, approximately 10% are caused by C. parapsilosis; and only 2% comes from C. tropicalis. Pathological clean people who wash their hands too often may not notice for a long time the signs of yeast mycosis on their palms, which is characterized by thickened dry skin, lune-shaped, powdery or lamellar peeling, washed off with water. But when mycosis already spreads to the nails, it becomes difficult not to notice it.
        • The photo shows mycosis that has spread to the nails

          The following symptoms will indicate candidiasis:

          • Paronychia develops - the nail fold is inflamed and swollen, hangs over the nail, and turns red. May release a whitish liquid when pressed. Most often appears on the middle and ring fingers;
          • The photo shows paronychia - inflammation and swelling above the nails

            • The stratum corneum of the skin and nail thickens (keratosis develops);
            • Dystrophy of the nail plate is observed - grooves, waviness;
            • Itching and burning are felt, and if the process is advanced, then pain often occurs;
            • The palmar furrows acquire a brownish, whitish or brown tint;
            • The palms become dry, peel off in areas of powdery, hole-shaped and ring-shaped formations, and deep furrows appear on the skin. Most often, the border of the affected area runs along the palmar rib; it has a dry, crumbling structure and a whitish color.
            • Depending on the type of pathogen, the degree of tissue involvement in the pathological process and the general health of the patient, the doctor will decide how to treat the fungus. Patients are prescribed either local or systemic treatment only. Sometimes combination therapy is indicated.

            • Locally prescribed: anti-fungal ointment, as well as antimycotic creams and antifungal gels, varnishes and sprays - depending on which form of the drug will be more convenient in each particular case.
            • When a dermatologist is forced to decide how to get rid of fungus in the later stages, then, in the absence of direct contraindications, the patient is prescribed antifungal drugs for oral administration (capsules and tablets). They make it possible to completely cure a patient of a fungus, since the active substance penetrates the bloodstream and spreads throughout all tissues of the body, accumulating in them in a fairly high concentration.
            • Systemic therapy is carried out with tablet and capsule drugs Diflucan (wide range of mycoses), Terbinafine (combined microflora, wide spectrum of action) and Itraconazole (dermatophytoses); children are often prescribed Griseofulvin as a low-toxic drug. Other antimycotic drugs are also prescribed, the names of which are not fully listed.

              However, the following names of antifungal agents are most often found on the domestic market:

            • Bifonazole (Bifosin, Mikospor);
            • Terbinafine (Amphotericin, Atifin, Fungoterbin, Terbizil);
            • Fluconazole (Diflucan, Flucostat)
            • Sertoconazole (Zalain);
            • Itraconazole (Itramicol, Itrazole);
            • Ketoconazole (Nizoral, Mycozoral);
            • Clotrimazole (Canison);
            • Exoderil (Naftifin).
            • It is better to start treating fungus on the hands after consulting a doctor.

              If local agents are added to oral administration of the drug, a combination treatment is obtained. There are also additional laser treatment methods (at the stage of clinical trials) and therapeutic manicure.

              Important! The duration of therapy is calculated by the doctor individually. Do not engage in “amateur activities” under any circumstances.

            • For interdigital mycosis, antifungal agents with the active ingredient Ciclopirox (cream and powder) are used. Treatments are carried out 2-3 times per day for seven days.

            For hyperkeratosis and keratinization, it is recommended to peel off the dead layers using Salicylic ointment, and then apply Miconazole or ciclopirox in the form of a cream.

          • To relieve the inflammatory process in paronychia, this method is well suited: a soda, boric or manganese bath (3%) is applied for 20 minutes, then the softened plate is cut off, dead skin is scraped off, the legs are wiped dry and an antimycotic drug is applied to the treated areas.
          • Sometimes the usual “brilliant green” (Diamond green) is prescribed, as well as Castellani liquid, ichthyol ointment, Iodine, and Corticosteroids.

          • For acute weeping dermatitis of the nail fold caused by yeast fungi, antibiotic therapy (Tetracycline, Erythromycin, Penicillin) and antihistamines (Diazolin, Tavegil, Suprastin) are prescribed.
          • When large blisters form, they are opened, “green paint” or a solution of Methylene blue is applied to the affected area and a lotion with 2% boron is applied.
          • Note! External antimycotics are prescribed to relieve acute inflammation at the site of skin lesions.

            Traditional methods of treatment

            Advice! Treatment with folk remedies should in no case be prescribed without the consultation of a doctor and as the main method of treatment. Otherwise, you risk the process becoming chronic. Folk remedies, however, can be an addition to prescribed therapy and speed up the healing process.

          • Pine tincture is an excellent assistant in the fight against fungal skin infections. It is prepared as follows: pour 100 g of cones with medical alcohol in a volume of 250 ml and infuse for 15 days. Then the finished product is filtered and applied to the affected areas daily 1-2 times a day for 30 days.
          • Treating fungus with pine tincture significantly speeds up the healing process

            • An ointment made from activated carbon with garlic and the addition of calendula also works well for skin fungus. Here's how it's prepared: a few garlic cloves are passed through a press or meat grinder; knead into powder 10 tablets. activated carbon; 20 g of calendula flowers are ground into a paste; mix the components and add 100 g of non-liquid fat as an ointment base. The ointment is applied to the affected areas at night and cotton gloves are worn. In the morning, hands are washed with soap. The procedure is repeated daily for a month.
            • Mycosis of the skin, feet and hands: photo symptoms and treatment

              Skin diseases are a common phenomenon in adults and children. The rash and other reactions affect the skin and are localized in different places, so it is necessary to carefully consider the treatment program to avoid complications. One of the serious diseases is mycosis. Photos, symptoms and treatment will be discussed in the material.

              Mycosis of smooth skin photo symptoms and treatment

              Mycosis of smooth skin is the occurrence of a fungal infection in the skin area. The most widespread phenomena are microsporia, trichophytosis and lichen versicolor.

              Symptoms of the disease

              The manifestation of the disease depends on the type of disease, and there are several of them.

              Usually the disease is transmitted from an animal that has previously been infected. Often these are cats. Manifestation occurs in the form of round lesions on the skin. They have a diameter of up to 2 cm, are equipped with outlines with clear boundaries and are pink in color. Peeling is observed in the center of the lesion, and the affected areas can form confluences, spreading to large areas of the body and hair.

              This mycosis of smooth skin can be transmitted from rodents, but most often the source of the infection is a sick person. Large lesions affect and cause a rash on the face , neck, and forearm area. An oval or round spot with nodules or flaky particles in the center forms on the area. Chronic varieties of the disease occur less frequently, but most often affect the elbows and knees. The suppurative form of the disease predominates on the hair, accompanied by the appearance of bright crusts and peeling.

              The disease is the most common among all similar phenomena; intoxication is transmitted from a sick infected person. Usually you can “catch” an illness in a bathhouse, sauna, or gym. The main manifestations of the disease are the appearance of minor peeling between the fingers.

              If there is a severe form of the process, more serious ulcers and lymphangitis may occur. The rash in a child usually appears as peeling in small plates, and cracks may appear between the fingers. The disease is differentiated in children with lupus and eczema.

              Such diseases can occur even on the skin of a healthy person. And in the case of certain conditions, rapid proliferation of fungi occurs, giving rise to pathology. Symptoms include small spots localized in the cervical, thoracic and dorsal regions, and on the extremities. In the first stages of the disease, the spots have a pink tint, but then turn into brown formations.

              In this case, CANDIDA fungi infect the body and skin. They inhabit the entire surface, including mucous membranes. Current conditions for the development of the disease are low immunity, severe pathological processes of the thyroid gland and stomach. As manifestations, one can highlight the formation of small bubbles in the folds of the hands, while the skin becomes noticeably redder. From the moment the disease progresses, peeling occurs.

              The healing process of mycosis on smooth skin

              1. Microsporia is treated by treating the lesions with an iodine , alternating in doses with an ointment or cream against fungal formation.
              2. If multiple lesions are observed, experts recommend the use of antifungal antibiotics (for example, griseofulvin ).
              3. When the disease moves to the hair, it must be wiped with salicylic acid , treatment continues until all signs are eliminated, after which the head area is examined for the presence of “remnants” of the pathology.
              4. In case of trichophytosis, the lesions are treated with an iodine solution; in the case of a suppurative process, therapy begins with the removal of crusts with pus through the application of napkins lubricated with salicylic ointment . It is recommended to keep such “compresses” for several hours. chlorhexidine are applied to the affected areas . At further stages, anti-fungal ointments are used as directed.
              5. Proven remedies are used as general medications for the treatment of rashes and suppurations - Lamisil, Exifin, Nizoral . To use, wash and dry the skin; apply once a day.
              6. Therapy for multicolored lichen involves the use of nizoral, exifin, mycozone . If common variants of the disease occur, it is customary to treat with fluconazole and intraconazole orally.
              7. Candidiasis is well “removed” by a combination of local antiseptics ( brilliant green solution ) and antifungal compounds - Triderm and others.
              8. The main task is the timeliness and efficiency of actions; the possibilities of a full recovery depend on this factor.

                Mycosis of legs and feet photo symptoms and treatment

                In recent years, mycosis has become an epidemic phenomenon, since according to statistics, a third of the earth suffers from it. A popular disease in the civilized world is foot fungus. Fungus incubators are boots and other shoes of poor quality, not worn for the weather. Absolutely all people are at risk, especially those in working professions.

                Symptoms of the disease

                The symptoms of the process depend on the clinical form of the disease, and there are three of them (there are even more classifications, but the most popular types will be presented here).

                Erased stage of the disease

                The minimality of symptoms makes this variant of the disease insidious. People tend to believe that peeling skin on the feet and a small rash on the legs are normal, and that the spaces between the toes that are corroded are just intertrigo. As a result, the disease remains untreated, developing into more serious pathologies.

                This is a senile variant of the disease; in 86% of cases it occurs in people over 60 years of age who contact a specialist. The form is particularly neglected and the severity of symptoms. The skin becomes dirty gray, thick and rough. Cracks form on the foot, and over time there is a stench. The color and texture of the entire lower leg changes.

                "Wet" type of disease

                The vesicular form consists of clusters of blisters on the leg, covered by a thick cap of the stratum corneum. After bursting, the blisters leave unsightly ulcerative lesions; it is difficult to diagnose the phenomenon as a result, since differentiation can be carried out with a “bouquet” of skin diseases - psoriasis, dermatitis, eczema. The picture is aggravated by bacterial organisms that continually penetrate the ulcers.

                Treatment of mycosis of the feet and legs

                The rash in adults and young people must be treated, otherwise serious consequences will follow. General methods of therapy can be mono or combined. Mono methods involve the use of a basic therapy option, while combined processes offer a combination of internal and external means, including alternative methods of medicine.

              9. If you follow the research, the most effective remedy for treating feet is the fungicide Lamisil , which takes an active part in eliminating fungal infections of all types.
              10. External use products – gels, foams, creams, solutions, emulsions. Effective and proven drugs are: mycozoral, nizoral, canizon, bifosin, mifungar . The treatment plan is prescribed by a physician, but the general principles are to apply the product to dry and clean skin once every 24 hours for up to half a month.
              11. Antifungal agents are also effective: these are ekalin, mycozolon, travogen, mycoseptin , they must be applied once every 12 hours until the symptoms completely disappear. After this, preventive treatment lasts for two weeks, but the number of applications is halved.
              12. Before treatment measures, you need to peel off the roughened area of ​​skin and scrape off the affected nails. Then, after steaming your feet in the bath and freeing them from dead layers, you can apply the products.

                Mycosis on the hands photo symptoms and treatment

                Mycosis of the skin on the hands is a serious equine disease caused by fungi. Pathologies develop in about 10% of patients after 60 years of age. Transmission can occur from person to person through contact with any objects and shaking hands.

                Causes of the disease

                Among the causative factors that gave rise to the disease, several points can be distinguished.

              13. Problems with the functioning of the immune system;
              14. metabolic difficulties;
              15. diseases of endocrine function;
              16. hygiene problems;
              17. severe frostbite on hands;
