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 papilloma virus enters the body.
Therefore, the use of ointments, creams and gels usually only has a local effect.The virus does not disappear from the blood.The use of ointments and at the same time antiviral drugs, strengthening the immune defense, will help avoid relapses.
Methods for removing papillomas
Papillomas are benign skin growths.In very rare cases, papilloma can develop into a malignant tumor.If the papilloma does not cause discomfort (physical or emotional), it is not necessary to remove it.
But if the tumor causes pain, for example, when rubbing against clothes, then it must be treated.It is better to consult an experienced doctor about the possibility and choice of treatment for papilloma.Experts often 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 folk remedies in the fight against papillomas.Before using traditional methods, you should consult a doctor.Some products cannot be used, for example, on the face, others may cause individual side effects.
The use of ointments to remove papillomas, unlike instant surgical or laser removal, is a more gentle way to fight tumors.
Types of ointments
All ointments used to combat papillomas can be divided into 2 types:
Ready-made ointments are sold in pharmacies or specialized shops and are available in 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.In addition, the drugs may cause individual side effects and are not recommended for children and 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 harmful effect on the papilloma itself.Since the products consist of medicinal herbs, an allergic reaction is possible in people prone to allergies.Herbal remedies, such as acid-based drugs, do not act on the cause of the disease, but help eliminate its external manifestations.
- Antiviral ointments.From the name it is clear that such ointments act on the cause of papillomas - the virus.Drugs interrupt the development and reproduction processes of the virus.
Ointments can also be prepared independently, at home.The most famous and effective is vinegar ointment.A washed and clean chicken egg is placed in a cup and filled with vinegar (essence).Close well.When the shell has melted, remove the film that was under the shell, add the internal fat, mix well.The ointment is stored in the refrigerator and has a shelf life of several years.
Garlic and petroleum jelly ointment, ointments based on celandine and petroleum jelly, vinegar and flour are also prepared at home.Homemade ointment can harm 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 discussed with a doctor.The skin at the removal site is thin and tender, and infection can easily penetrate the wound.
Your doctor will recommend wound treatments and inform you about the possibility of using cosmetics.It is not recommended to use any products until the wound has healed.
After eliminating papillomas, you need to carefully monitor the skin, follow the doctor's recommendations and strengthen the immune system to prevent the appearance of new papillomas.
