An anti-papilloma agent for the neck has antiviral and immunostimulatory effects that allow it to suppress HPV activity. Many drugs can effectively fight the disease. All of them help to reduce the activity of the virus, but they do not contribute to the complete removal of papillomas, which requires minimally invasive operation.
Why do papillomas appear on the neck?
The neck is in close contact with the collar of the dress. With active sweating, moisture appears, which is the optimal condition for the development of papillomas. A virus provokes their appearance, which enters the body from the outside and accumulates in the cells of the epithelium.
The second prerequisite for the development of the disease is reduced immunity. Only in the presence of an abnormally low immune response is the virus able to actively multiply and affect the skin of the neck. The size and number of neoplasms depends entirely on how many viral cells are present in the body.
What do they look like?
There are several forms of cervical papillomatosis:
- Pointed- has a common bottom, many papillae on the edge. Soft and flexible, body toned. Most susceptible to injury.
- Flat- appears as a light brown, rounded small spot. The external manifestations are similar to a mole.
- Filiform- some papillomas that resemble thin fibers 2-3 cm high. Trauma provokes pain. Infection is possible at the wound site.
Papillomas are often confused with moles, but they have nothing in common. Papillomatosis is provoked by a virus, so it is impossible to get rid of it only by removing the neoplasm. Complex treatment is required, which is performed intermittently.
Medications for neck papillomas
The main task of drug treatment is the overall effect on viral cells, which is achieved by taking antiviral and immunomodulatory agents. Treatment should be chosen by a doctor, taking into account the individual characteristics of the body and the type of HPV.
Medications
Antiviral drugs affect the cells of the virus, killing and destroying them. They are prescribed when the papillomatosis is in an advanced form and there are more than 10 to 15 neoplasms in the neck.
Immunostimulants help the “awakening” of the immune system by influencing the synthesis of immune cells. The doctor will prescribe them based on the results of the immunogram.
The duration of treatment depends entirely on the degree of damage to the skin of the neck and the blood levels of the virus. The choice of this or that treatment is up to the doctor. Self-healing can be ineffective and dangerous to health, especially if you suffer from a chronic illness.
Ointments
Local treatments for papillomas in the neck allow you to take action against the accumulation of viral cells, killing them. With proper treatment, papillomas will reduce in size and disappear completely if they have an initial stage.
The ointment is slid precisely with a cotton swab or ear swab. Severe itching, redness on the neck, and the appearance of spots are reasons for withdrawal of medication and review of treatment.
Creams
creams have a similar effect on the papilloma, but differ in their consistency and ability to penetrate the deep layers of the epidermis and neutralize not only the outer part of the papilloma but also its root.
Pharmacies for neck papillomas should be used with extreme caution as they can affect not only the papilloma itself but also healthy areas of the skin.
Hardware methods for treating papilloma
Papilloma is made up of altered and viral epithelial cells that need to be removed.
Modern hardware methods are used for this:
- radio wave therapyis the most painless and effective way to remove the neoplasm, after which no scars or scars form.
- Cryodestruction- freezing the wart in which the virus is completely destroyed.
- Electrocoagulation- burns of a papilloma with a current, followed by a wound.
- Laser Removal- prescribed for deep skin lesions. The procedure is extremely painful and therefore requires local anesthesia.
The best treatment for papillomas on the neck is to remove radio waves. Prior to the procedure, a course of antiviral and immunostimulatory drugs that reduce the activity of the virus is prescribed.
Surgical removal
Neck excision of the papilloma is not used in the treatment of papillomatosis. This is due to the following factors:
- Low efficiency of the procedure - only the superficial part of the neoplasm is removed and the root remains in place.
- There is a high risk of injury - there are blood vessels and capillaries in the neck, bleeding cannot be avoided in case of injury.
- Likelihood of recurrence - after a period of time, new warts appear at the site of the excised papilloma.
The doctor himself prescribes a specific procedure based on the results of the diagnosis. Superficial flat papillomas are best removed by cryodestruction, while rooted pointed neoplasms require a deeper effect that is within the power of the laser.
Folk remedies
It is strictly forbidden to use alternative prescriptions without consulting a specialist and undergoing a comprehensive diagnosis. Some papillomas are caused by a virus with high oncogenicity, so any manipulation and destruction of the neoplasm can trigger the development of cancer.
Sometimes folk remedies for neck papillomas are the only way out, as traditional medicines have detrimental effects on the liver and digestive system. But they must be used with extreme caution.
If there are several papillomas on the skin of the neck that are small in size, your doctor may recommend home treatment based on the tools available.
The most effective:
- Celandine Juice- apply fresh juice from the trunk of the plant to the papilloma, after which it will be smaller. The procedure is painful but extremely effective.
- Garlic Cream- take 1 clove of garlic and cut into mashed potatoes, then add a tablespoon of baby cream. Apply to the papilloma in a thick layer.
- Walnut-Petroleum Tincture- Take 5 tablespoons of purified kerosene for a handful of green walnuts. All ingredients are mixed into a homogeneous mass and allowed to cook in the refrigerator for 7-10 days. Apply in a thin layer for 3-4 hours, then wash the skin with warm soap and water.
Some recipes can cause rapid deterioration and active growth of papillomas around the neck. This requires constant monitoring by doctors. Folk remedies for papillomas in the neck help reduce the expression of the virus, but are unable to fight it completely.
Herbal teas are used to strengthen the immune system, which include herbs with bactericidal and anti-inflammatory properties: chamomile, sage, mint, bee, foal's feet, nettle, burdock.
The entire self-healing process should be supervised by a doctor. The greatest effectiveness of therapy is achieved when folk recipes are supported by antiviral agents and immunomodulators. If side effects occur, return to conventional treatment.
Prevention
It is impossible to completely protect yourself from HPV because the virus can wait anywhere. However, several guidelines can help reduce the chances of infection:
- Avoid contact with the patient and never use household items.
- Restricts access to saunas and swimming pools where the likelihood of infection is extremely high.
- Have sexual partners regularly, use contraception.
- Follow personal hygiene rules, do not give anyone personal belongings and clothing.
- Strengthen immunity through proper nutrition and an active lifestyle.
- Give up bad habits while living a healthy lifestyle.
If a person has strong immunity, after infection, the body will be able to defeat the virus, preventing it from accumulating and manifesting in the form of papillomas.
