Can iodine cure a papilloma?

There are a number of people who do not trust traditional medicine. From all diseases they are saved by improvised means and folk methods. Warts and other growths are also treated in this way.

To remove formations on the skin, various means are used, for example, celandine, vinegar, iodine, peroxide and others. But is it possible to cauterize papillomas with iodine? Let’s take a look at this method below.

Does the substance work?

An alcohol solution or tincture of food can be found in any home first aid kit. These funds are used as an antiseptic for the treatment of wounds. Given the properties of the drug, people decided to try to get rid of papilloma with iodine.

Some argue that such activities give a very good result. Under the influence of such a drug, papilloma is cauterized.

But doctors do not at all welcome the treatment of papilloma with iodine. They argue that instead of a positive result, that is, removal of the formation, you can get a severe burn of healthy skin areas. After such exposure, scars may remain. A negative result is obtained if the rules for using the medicinal substance are not followed.

Those who recommend cauterization with iodine claim that the remedy has an excellent effect on small formations, up to 0.5 cm in diameter. It is better not to smear larger growths with iodine. There are other contraindications to the removal of formations in this way.

When not to use

Iodine in any form is still a drug. Therefore, it has its own contraindications, which cannot be ignored at all. Treatment with iodine should not be carried out in the following cases:

• If a person has liver and kidney disease.
• Allergy to the active substance is also one of the contraindications.
• A child under 3 years of age is prohibited from using iodine-containing drugs.
• Disorders of the thyroid gland.
• If a woman is breastfeeding or carrying a child.

It is very important to take into account these contraindications, and if they exist, then it is better not to remove the papilloma with iodine. In such cases, it is better to seek the advice of a specialist.

Dermatologist – will help get rid of formations on the skin and mucous membranes in the mouth . Gynecologist – will help women with formations in intimate places and on the mucous membranes of the internal genital organs. Urologist – will be a lifesaver for those men who have found papillomas on the penis.
