To combat skin tumors, 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 system, will help avoid relapses.
Methods for removing 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), there is no need to remove it.
But if the tumor causes pain, for example when rubbing against clothing, then it needs to 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 to combat papillomas.Before using folk methods, you should consult a doctor.Some products cannot be used, for example on the face, others may cause individual side effects.
Using ointments to remove papillomas, unlike instant surgical or laser removal, is a more gentle way to combat tumors.
Types of ointments
All ointments used to combat papillomas can be divided into 2 types:
Ready-to-use ointments are sold in pharmacies or specialized stores and come 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 facial papillomas.In addition, medications can 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 detrimental effect on the papilloma itself.Since the products consist of medicinal herbs, an allergic reaction in people prone to allergies is possible.Herbal remedies, like acid-based drugs, 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 these ointments act on the cause of papillomas - the virus.Medicines disrupt the development and reproduction processes of the virus.
Ointments can also be prepared independently, at home.Vinegar ointment is the best known and most effective.A washed and clean chicken egg is placed in a cup and filled with vinegar (essence).Close tightly.When the shell dissolves, remove the film that was under the shell, add the interior fat, mix well.The ointment can be stored in the refrigerator and has a shelf life of several years.
Garlic and petroleum jelly ointments, celandine and petroleum jelly ointments, 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 discussed with a doctor.The skin at the removal site is thin and sensitive, and infection can easily enter the wound.
The doctor will recommend treatments for the wound and inform you about the possibility of using cosmetic products.It is not recommended to use any products 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.
