To combat tumors on the skin, papilloma ointment is often used.The effectiveness of this product depends on the composition, the nature of the action and the degree of infection.Papillomas on the body and mucous membranes appear when the papillomavirus enters the body.
Therefore, the use of ointments, creams and gels usually has only a local effect.The virus does not disappear from the blood.The use of ointments and at the same time antiviral drugs that strengthen immune defenses will help avoid relapses.
Methods to remove papillomas.
Papillomas are benign skin growths.In very rare cases, the papilloma can develop into a malignant tumor.If the papilloma does not cause discomfort (physical or emotional), it does not need to be removed.
But if the tumor causes pain, for example, when rubbing against clothing, then it needs to be treated.It is best to consult with an experienced doctor about the possibility and choice of papilloma treatment.Experts usually recommend removing papilloma using one of the following methods:
- Surgical (excision under local anesthesia).
- Liquid nitrogen (cryodestruction).
- Acid.
- Laser.
- Electric current (electrocoagulation).
Many people use home remedies in the fight against papillomas.Before using traditional methods, it is advisable to consult a doctor.Some products cannot be used, for example, on the face, others may cause individual side effects.
Using ointments to remove papillomas, as opposed to instant or laser surgical removal, is a gentler way to combat tumors.
Types of ointments
All ointments used to combat papillomas can be divided into 2 types:
Prepared ointments are sold in pharmacies or specialized stores and are of 3 types:
- Ointments based on active acids.Known antiseptics have anti-inflammatory properties.It is not recommended to use such ointments for the treatment of papillomas on the face.Additionally, the medications may cause individual side effects and are not recommended for children or people with kidney failure.The effect occurs after several weeks of use.These ointments are not effective in all cases.
- Herbal ointments.The active components of the ointments penetrate deep into the roots of the papilloma, and the powders have a detrimental effect on the papilloma itself.Since the products are composed of medicinal herbs, an allergic reaction is possible in people prone to allergies.Herbal remedies, like acid-based medicines, do not act on the cause of the disease, but help to eliminate its external manifestations.
- Antiviral ointments.From the name it is clear that such ointments act on the cause of papillomas - the virus.The drugs interrupt the development and reproduction processes of the virus.
Ointments can also be prepared yourself, at home.The most famous and effective is vinegar ointment.A clean, washed chicken egg is placed in a cup and filled with vinegar (essence).Close well.When the shell dissolves, remove the film that was under the shell, add the inner fat, mix well.The ointment is stored in the refrigerator and has a shelf life of several years.
Garlic and Vaseline ointments, ointments based on celandine and Vaseline, vinegar and flour, are also prepared 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 products, including ointments, after papilloma removal should be consulted with a doctor.The skin at the extraction site is thin and sensitive, and infection can easily penetrate the wound.
The doctor will recommend treatments for the wound and inform you about the possibility of using cosmetics.It is not recommended to use any product until the wound has healed.
After getting rid of papillomas, you should carefully monitor your skin, follow your doctor's recommendations and strengthen your immune system to prevent the appearance of new papillomas.
