Papillomas are benign formations that can be localized anywhere on the skin and mucous membranes. Various tools and methods are used to remove them - drugs, herbs, surgical removal. Treatment of papillomas with folk remedies is more often used to localize formations on the skin and is carried out at home.
Folk remedies for papillomas are not always effective enough, so it is better to supplement them with other treatment methods.
Papillomas: what they are and how to treat them
Papillomas are benign tumors that arise from increased proliferation of epithelial cells. They can appear anywhere on the body:
- face - most often near the eyes;
- neck;
- chest, abdomen, back;
- lower and upper limbs;
- anogenital zone;
- the mucous membrane of the genitals - the walls of the vagina and cervix in women, the penis in men;
- the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract.
In most cases, the formations are caused by papillomaviruses (human papillomavirus, HPV). The disease can develop in both adults and children.
Treatment has two main directions: removing papillomas and fighting viral infection (including strengthening the immune system). Various methods can be used for this, including traditional medicine recipes. The most effective is a combined approach to treatment, that is, a combination of different methods.
Folk recipes: advantages and disadvantages
The use of folk remedies is only one treatment option.
The main advantage of traditional medicine is accessibility. It can also be treated at home, while the treatment does not require extra costs.
There are also disadvantages that limit the use of folk recipes:
- Getting rid of warts can take several months, the disease cannot be cured quickly. But even with long-term treatment, success is not guaranteed.
- The use of aggressive products can lead to skin burns and other complications.
- Contraindications to the use of certain herbs are often not taken into account during the treatment, so allergic reactions and side effects from the digestive system may develop.
Thus, treatment with folk remedies does not allow the papillomas to get rid of them quickly. However, with the right approach, home treatment can be effective.
What principles should be followed when choosing therapy:
- combination of funds for internal and external use;
- list of contraindications for use;
- frequency of use.
In addition, it is not recommended to limit the use of folk remedies, since it is unlikely that papillomas can be cured only with their use. It is much more effective if their intake is combined with basic therapy (lifestyle correction, immunity strengthening), if necessary, with drug treatment or surgical removal.
Classification
All folk remedies are divided into 2 large groups - for internal and external use. However, they do not exclude each other, rather they complement each other. The combination of internal and external agents is particularly important in the treatment of skin diseases caused by a weakened immune system.
