How to treat papillomas: traditional approach and folk remedies

Small papillomas can appear in any person, even small children are not protected from this disease. If such a formation has appeared, then there is no need to wait until the number increases or the color and size change.

You should come to a dermatologist who will accurately establish the diagnosis and advise how to treat papillomas .

What causes papillomas

The cause of the appearance of growths on the human body is considered to be the human papillomavirus  (HPV). This is a common name for more than 100 strains of viruses that cause the appearance of a wide variety of formations on the skin and mucous membranes in the human body.

All representatives are divided into three groups:

1. Highly oncogenic . All formations that appeared under the influence of this group are capable of degenerating into malignant tumors. To do this, you do not even need to somehow influence them. They often lead to the development of cervical cancer.
2. Low oncogenic . Some of the papillomas or condylomas can become malignant, but for this you need to often injure (cut off, cut off, exposed to acids). If treated promptly, they are not harmful. They can develop on the organs of the respiratory system and on the genitals .
3. Non-oncogenic . Viruses of this group provoke the appearance of only benign formations that never degenerate into malignant ones. But it is also necessary to deal with their treatment so that papillomas do not completely cover the entire human skin.

The virus can be in the human body for a long time and not give any manifestations. A healthy immune system quickly depresses its vital activity and formations appear only when the protective functions are reduced. But the body is unable to completely get rid of the papilloma virus  .

The reason for the decrease in immunity are:

1. Frequent viral infections.
2. Long-term use of medications.
3. Unbalanced nutrition.
4. Bad habits (smoking, alcohol, drugs).
5. Stressful situations and nervous tension.
6. Hormonal disorders.
7. Disorders of the digestive system.

After that, formations may appear on the human body that look like flat growths, filiform, pointed, with or without a pronounced leg. In this case, the color of the papilloma may not differ from healthy surrounding tissues or be slightly lighter.

How can you get infected

The virus is most often transmitted through sexual intercourse. It is able to penetrate even the smallest cracks and abrasions on the skin or mucous membranes. After infection, the formations appear only in the genital area and the anal canal.

But there is also the possibility of self-infection. A damaged papilloma is a source of a live virus that can be spread throughout the skin if you do not follow the rules of personal hygiene. There are other ways to get infected:

• Contact household. The virus is able to live for a long time outside the human body. This is facilitated by a humid environment. Therefore, other people’s towels, washcloths may contain an active virus. Even clothes and bedding often become a source of infection.
• Vertical or from mother to child. When papillomas on the genitals are found in a pregnant woman, she is recommended to have a caesarean section in order to avoid infecting the child.

Treatment

Both traditional medicine and folk medicine offer a large number of ways to treat papilloma. Before starting treatment, it is imperative to contact a qualified specialist to determine the strain that provoked the appearance of formations.

If an oncogenic virus has been identified , then self-medication is not worth it at all. After all, it can cause cancer. In any case, even after consulting a doctor, the patient decides how to get rid of papilloma.

ethnoscience

Some folk remedies  for papilloma contain such a substance as celandine juice. The celandine is used in its pure form. It is applied to the formation and additionally to the patch, which then closes the sore spot. The patch is changed every two days. And they carry out the procedure until the papilloma disappears.

Together with celandine  , herbal infusions are also made, which are applied exclusively to a wart or growth, without touching healthy areas of the skin. Helps with papilloma garlic. It is cut into small slices or crushed into gruel and applied to the formation.

But you need to remember that garlic contains many active substances, so you can’t leave it on the skin for longer than 2 hours. otherwise, irritation or even burns may occur. It is recommended to eat garlic and food. It enhances immunity and promotes the rapid action of other procedures.

Some note the positive effect of laundry soap . Tar soap is recommended for papilloma on the body. The formation is abundantly lubricated with soap moistened with water, and left for the whole night. Wash off with warm water in the morning. In this way, you can remove papilloma  at home .

You can also make an ointment. To do this, melt the soap in a water bath and add a little water or infusion of chamomile with celandine. A small amount is applied to the growth and left overnight.

Usually, treatment with folk remedies  lasts several days, sometimes even weeks. But the reviews of those who have tried them on themselves are only positive.

Traditional medicine recommends, in addition to removal, also maintain immunity. A good tool that everyone can cook is dried fruits (raisins, dried apricots), walnuts, lemon, ground in a meat grinder, along with the peel. Honey should also be added to this mixture (if you have an allergy, you can do without it). It is good to drink such a medicine with a rosehip broth.

traditional medicine

To establish how to treat papilloma, a dermatologist (gynecologist, urologist) must first determine which virus caused it to appear. For this, a small piece of the formation or a smear from the mucous membranes is taken.

Only after a series of studies, the doctor prescribes treatment. However, it must be complex. If you simply remove the external defect, then the formations may appear again. The complex will include:

• Medications.
• One way to remove.

The list of drugs will include those that enhance the protective function of the human body. Also, the doctor will definitely prescribe antiviral drugs and vitamin complexes.

Many people ask the question, how to get rid of the virus? So far, there is no magic pill that can completely remove the virus from the body. Therefore, doctors usually prescribe the same drugs against viruses as they do for diseases, influenza or hepatitis.

To remove the external manifestation of the disease, that is, a neoplasm on the skin or mucous membrane, several methods are used:

1. Excision with a scalpel. This is the oldest and surest way to remove warts and growths. But it is used only in cases where there are a large number of formations, or their size is very large, or it is not possible to use other methods. The operation is quite painful, so anesthesia is used.
2. laser removal. Very fast and painless way to remove. Suitable for even the deepest lesions. After such a procedure, there are no scars, and the recovery period is very short. In this way, papillomas on the neck can be removed .
3. Cryodestruction. Liquid nitrogen is used for this procedure. It freezes education. The method is quite popular, but doctors do not recommend it for all places on the body. The wound heals for a long time, and there are slight discomfort during the procedure.
4. Electrocoagulation. For this method, an apparatus is used that produces a high-frequency current. The electric current greatly raises the temperature inside the formation, and it collapses. The wound remains for a long time. Local anesthesia is used for the procedure.
5. Radioknife. After this procedure, the lowest risk of recurrence of the disease. After all, with the help of a special apparatus, the formation is removed deep enough.

How to cure papilloma, of course, the doctor will offer, but the patient has the last word. No matter how scary the names of the proposed procedures look, you should trust qualified specialists.

In some cases, self-medication is only postponing a medical procedure. When the appearance of papilloma is caused by an oncogenic strain, it is not worth wasting time, it is better to remove the formation in the early stages, which can cause oncology.
