To combat tumors on the skin, ointment for papillomas is often used.The effectiveness of this product depends on its composition, nature of action, and level 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 prevent relapse.
Methods for removing papillomas
Papillomas are benign skin growths.In very rare cases, papillomas can develop into malignant tumors.If the papilloma does not cause discomfort (physical or emotional), then it does not need to be removed.
But if the tumor causes pain, for example, when rubbing clothes, then it must be treated.It is better to consult with an experienced doctor about the possibilities and treatment options for papillomas.Experts often recommend removing papillomas using one of the following methods:
- Surgery (excision under local anesthesia).
- Liquid nitrogen (cryodestruction).
- Acid.
- Lasers.
- Electric current (electrocoagulation).
Many people use folk remedies in the fight against papillomas.Before using traditional methods, you should consult a doctor.Some products should not be used, for example, on the face, others may cause individual side effects.
The use of ointments to remove papillomas, in contrast to immediate surgery or laser removal, is a milder way to combat tumors.
Type of ointment
All ointments used to combat papilloma can be divided into 2 types:
Ready-made ointments are sold in pharmacies or specialized stores and come in 3 types:
- Ointment based on active acid.Antiseptics known to have anti-inflammatory properties.It is not recommended to use such ointment for the treatment of papilloma on the face.In addition, the drugs can cause individual side effects and are not recommended for children and people with kidney failure.Effects occur after a few weeks of use.This ointment is not effective in all cases.
- Herbal ointment.The active component of the ointment penetrates deep into the root of the papilloma, and the powder has an adverse effect on the papilloma itself.Since the product consists of medicinal herbs, allergic reactions in people prone to allergies are possible.Herbal medicines, like acid-based medicines, do not act on the cause of the disease, but help eliminate its external manifestations.
- Antiviral ointment.From the name it is clear that such an ointment acts on the cause of papillomas - viruses.Medicines interfere with the development and reproduction of the virus.
Ointment can also be prepared independently, at home.The most famous and effective is vinegar ointment.Washed and washed chicken eggs are placed in a cup and filled with vinegar (essence).Close tightly.When the shell dissolves, remove the film that is 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 ointment, ointment based on celandine and petroleum jelly, vinegar and flour are also prepared at home.Homemade ointments can damage healthy skin, so they should be used carefully.
Skin treatment after papilloma removal
The use of any skin care products, including ointments, after papilloma removal must be discussed with a doctor.The skin at the removal site is thin and tender, and infection can easily enter the wound.
The doctor will suggest treatment for the wound and tell 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 need to monitor your skin carefully, follow your doctor's recommendations, and strengthen your immune system to prevent the appearance of new papillomas.
