Redness of papilloma is a pathological process, which is based on changes in its natural, most often beige or pale pink color. In a normal situation this does not happen; there are always some reasons that cause such deviations. They can be both external and internal, or combined in the same person.

One of the main reasons that the papilloma turns red is the activation of the virus that caused the formation. Absolutely anyone can face this, regardless of age, but most often the elderly, children and pregnant women suffer from this problem. This is easily explained by the deterioration of their immunity, which is why the body is unable to fight HPV.

Among the factors contributing to the redness of papilloma are the following:

1. Exposure to UV rays. If you sunbathe occasionally or stay under the sun in closed clothes, then the likelihood of the formation changing color becomes minimal. But it increases sharply when staying on the beach or just outside from 12 to 16 hours, when ultraviolet radiation is most dangerous for human skin.
2. Injury to the growth. Visually, the papilloma can maintain its integrity, but upon closer examination, minor damage can be detected. Infections, penetrating through them, contribute to the appearance of redness. Impacts, friction on clothing, constant contact with chemical reagents contribute to their occurrence; all this also contributes to the redness of the papilloma.
3. Pregnancy. The reason for the change in the color of the formation during the period of bearing a child is most often a decrease in immunity, which is observed in the majority of expectant mothers. This phenomenon causes a lack of useful substances in the form of vitamins, micro- and macroelements, which, when entering the body, are now also spent on the baby.
4. Hormonal imbalances. First of all, the redness of papilloma concerns adolescents whose menstrual cycle is just stabilizing. This reason is also worth paying attention to for women facing menopause and those who are about to experience it in the near future. The reason for the color change in the growth may be disturbances in the production of hormones by the thyroid gland, kidneys, or ovaries. Hyperemia is provoked by both their excess and deficiency.
5. Long-term stress. Severe emotional exhaustion weakens the immune system and prevents the body from normal resistance to the papilloma virus. This is most often the catalyst for redness of the papilloma. It can also be triggered by chronic lack of sleep, frequent conflict situations at work and in the family, and increased mental stress.
6. Malignancy. This is the name for the process of degeneration of educational cells into malignant ones. At this stage, there is still no basis for making a diagnosis of oncology, but there are already prerequisites for this. As a result of such changes, the growth may also increase in size.

Of particular danger are various care products, containing a large number of synthetic components such as parabens, dyes, fragrances and other harmful substances. All this often causes skin irritation, which quite often entails hyperemia of the formation.

Among other causes of reddening of papilloma, it is necessary to highlight failure to comply with personal hygiene rules, which can lead to the penetration of various pathogenic microorganisms, which cause hyperemia of the formation.
