Papilloma ointment is often used to combat skin growth. The effectiveness of this drug depends on the composition, the nature of the action, the extent of the infection. Papillomas appear on the body and mucous membranes when the papilloma virus enters the body.
Therefore, the use of ointments, creams, gels usually has only a local effect. The virus does not disappear from the blood. The use of ointments and antiviral drugs, as well as strengthening the immune system, helps to avoid relapses.
Ways to remove papillomas
Papillomas are benign tumors of the skin. In very rare cases, the papilloma may degenerate into a malignancy. If your papilloma does not cause discomfort (physical or emotional), you cannot remove it.
But if the neoplasm causes pain when rubbed on clothes, for example, it should be treated without failure. It is best to consult an experienced doctor about the possibility and treatment of papilloma treatment. Experts often recommend removing the papilloma in one of the following ways:
- Surgery (excision under local anesthesia).
- Liquid nitrogen (cryodestruction).
- Sav.
- Laser.
- Electric current (electrocoagulation).
Many people use folk remedies to fight papillomas. You should consult a doctor before using traditional methods. Some products should not be used, such as on the face, others may cause individual side effects.
The use of ointments to remove papillomas, as opposed to immediate surgical laser removal, refers to milder methods of treating neoplasms.
Types of Ointments
All ointments used to control papillomas can be divided into 2 types:
Finished ointments are sold in pharmacies or specialist shops, there are 3 types:
- Ointments based on active acids.Known antiseptics have anti-inflammatory properties. It is not recommended to use such ointments to treat papillomas on the face. In addition, the funds can cause specific side effects and are not recommended for children and those with kidney failure. The effect occurs after several weeks of use. These ointments are not always effective.
- Herbal ointments.The active components of ointments penetrate deep into the roots of the papilloma, and the powders have a detrimental effect on the papilloma itself. Because the products are made from herbs, an allergic reaction in people prone to allergies is not ruled out. Herbal remedies, such as acid-based preparations, do not act on the cause of the disease, but help to eliminate its external manifestations.
- Antiviral ointments.It is clear from the name that such ointments act as the causative agents of papillomas - viruses. Drugs disrupt the processes of virus development and multiplication.
Ointments can also be made at home. The most famous and effective is vinegar ointment. The washed clean chicken egg is placed in a cup and poured with vinegar (essence). Close it tightly. When the shell dissolves, remove the film under the shell, add internal grease, mix thoroughly. The ointment is stored in the refrigerator and has a shelf life of several years.
Garlic-Vaseline ointment, celandine and Vaseline-based ointments, vinegar and flour are also made at home. Homemade ointment can damage healthy skin, so it should be used very carefully.
Skin treatment after papilloma removal
The use of any skin care product, including ointments after papilloma removal, should be discussed with your doctor. At the site of removal, the skin is thin, delicate, and infection can easily enter the wound.
Your doctor will advise you on tools for treating your wound and tell you how to use cosmetics. It is not recommended to use any tools until the wound has healed.
Once you have gotten rid of the papillomas, you need to pay close attention to your skin, follow your doctor’s recommendations, and strengthen your immune system to prevent new papillomas from appearing.
