Human papillomavirus infection is spread primarily through sexual contact. To date, more than 100 virus strains are known, differing in the degree of oncogenicity. Recently, doctors have begun to attribute neoplasms of the skin, including papillomas, to an anti-cancerous condition, so it is very important to treat and remove the appropriate papillomas in the body in a timely manner.
Which doctor should I see with papillomas on my body?
Unfortunately, the human papilloma virus continues to develop in asymptomatic form for a long time, and not even after the papillomas appear in the body.
Patients are accustomed to seeking medical attention only with clear disturbing symptoms:
- pain,
- itchy
- whey discharge, blood leakage.
Often, such papilloma symptoms are characterized by malignancy or inflammation.
If tumors appear on the body, it is recommended that you consult a GP or a dermatologist directly. If human papillomavirus infection is suspected, the dermatologist may refer an infectious disease specialist, gynecologist, gynecologist, or urologist.
Oncologists should be consulted for alarming symptoms.
How to stop growth and cure papillomas in the body?
Removing papillary lesions alone will not solve the HPV problem.
Under favorable conditions, new tumors appear:
- Exacerbation of chronic diseases;
- Cold or hypothermia;
- Stress factor;
- Long-term medication.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to completely remove the virus from the body, but modern medicine is able to provide a stable remission of the additional pathogenic activity of HPV strains.
Appropriate drug therapy prevents the formation of new papillary foci and local drugs destroy the structure of the papilloma and lead to self-amputation.
Pill papillomas on the body
The tablets are prescribed by systemic treatment, if necessary, to stop the activity of the virus strains. At the same time, they solve the problem of treating combined pathologies or other predisposing factors that can lead to virus activation.
The following medications are prescribed to treat the manifestations of HPV:
- Immunostimulatory antivirals. The active ingredients suppress pathogenic viral activity in a short time. Along with the antiviral effect, the drugs stimulate the production of their own antibodies, which fight the virus and completely eradicate the strains.
- Herbal antivirals. The substances are effective in fighting viral infection, killing virus strains at the DNA level after a few days of use. These funds are raised on the first day of returning growth. Side effects include nausea, dyspepsia, and stool upset.
- Purine-based synthetic products. The daily dose is 2-3 tablets a day, and in case of severe infection the dose is increased to 5-6 tablets a day.
- High potency immunomodulators. Given that growth and reproduction of papillomas is only possible in the context of decreased immunity, prescription drugs are symptomatic. The daily dose is 1 tablet. 4 times a day. The tablets are not prescribed during pregnancy and in children under 10 years of age.
- Wide-spectrum tablets that are extremely effective against HPV, fungal infections, pathogenic microorganisms. The drugs increase the effectiveness of other antiviral drugs and have virtually no contraindications. The treatment is long, 14-21 days.
HPV tablets should be taken strictly after the appointment of your doctor. This is due to oral administration, the passage of the drug through the digestive tract, and the possible negative effects of the tablets on the condition of the internal organs and systems.
Creams and ointments
Topical preparations for papillomas can be used on the body on their own at home, which greatly simplifies the therapy. Unlike the use of tablets, ointments directly affect papillomatous focus, destroy viral DNA, and normalize proper cell regeneration.
There are several main medicines to use at home:
- Salicylic ointment. A drug with a concentration of 60% of the active ingredient is used for the treatment. The process of treatment depends on the effectiveness of the therapy. So the treatment is continued for 7-14 days with short breaks and then the treatment can be continued. Salicylic ointment may cause minor tingling, pain, itching. The affordable and affordable product is not harmful, but has a pronounced bactericidal and regenerating effect.
- Oxolin liniment 3%. The main difference from nasal ointment is the concentration of the active ingredient. 3% oxoline is required to remove papillomatous foci. The drug has a pronounced antiviral effect, preventing the appearance of new papillary foci.
- Ointment with interferon. Effective local immunomodulators that actively enhance local immunity. The active substance is human interferon, which has antiviral activity. It is characterized by the absence of contraindications, so the drug is widely used in pediatric practice.
- Zinc ointment. The drug is effective against many dermatological diseases, including papillomas and warts. Zinc paste is absorbent, astringent and anti-inflammatory. Liniment is based on zinc oxide, which dries the papilloma, helping it to fall off quickly.
- Ointments for papillomas with salicylic acid are effective in the composition. The formulations are applied twice a day with an applicator or cotton swab, avoiding contact with healthy skin surfaces.
- Ointments with herbal ingredients. The funds increase local immunity, help increase your own interferon synthesis. The drugs destroy the structure of the papilloma, eliminating not only the external growth but also the root of the neoplasm.
- Ointments with complex composition and antibiotics. The main ingredients are the antibiotic chloramphenicol and methyluracil, which belongs to the group of immunomodulators. Ointments contribute to the normal regeneration of skin cells, normalize the water balance in the skin structure. The general treatment is 4 weeks, 2-3 applications per day.
General complex therapy lasts for several weeks. Patients should take systemic medications along with topical agents to stop the viral process as quickly as possible.
The course of antiviral therapy must not be interrupted!
In the background of medication, you must stick to a healthy lifestyle, eat right and drink vitamin complexes. This is a comprehensive approach to the treatment of HPV that allows you to maintain stable immunity for a long time and prevent the appearance of new papillomas in different localized bodies.
Be healthy and happy!
