Papilloma ointment is often used to fight neoplasms on the skin. The effectiveness of this remedy depends on the composition, the nature of the action, the degree of infection. Papilloma occurs on the body and mucous membranes when the papilloma virus enters the body.
Therefore, the use of ointments, creams, gels usually has only a local effect. The virus does not disappear from the blood. The use of ointment and at the same time antiviral drugs, strengthening the immune system will help prevent relapses.
Ways to remove papillomas
Papillomas are neoplasms of the skin that are benign. In very rare cases, papilloma can develop into a malignant tumor. If the papilloma does not cause discomfort (physical or emotional), then you can not remove it.
But if a neoplasm causes pain, such as when wrapped around clothing, it should definitely be considered. It is best to consult an experienced physician about the possibility and choice of papilloma treatment method. Often experts recommend the removal of papilloma by the following methods:
- Surgical (excision under local anesthesia).
- Liquid nitrogen (cryodestruction).
- acid.
- Laser.
- Electroshock (electrocoagulation).
Many people use folk remedies to fight papillomas. It is necessary to consult a doctor before using traditional methods. Some products are impossible to use, for example, on the face, some may cause individual side effects.
The use of ointments to remove papillomas, as opposed to instant surgical, laser removal, involves lighter methods of dealing with neoplasms. Types of ointmentsAll ointments used to fight papillomas can be divided into 2 types:
Ready-made ointments are sold in pharmacies or specialty stores, there are 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, joints can cause individual side effects and are not recommended for children and people with kidney failure. The effect comes after a few weeks of use. These ointments are by no means effective.
- Herbal ointments. The active components of ointments penetrate deep into the roots of the papilloma and the powders have a detrimental effect on the papilloma itself. Since the products are made from medicinal plants, an allergic reaction is not ruled out in people prone to allergies. Herbal remedies, as well as acid-based preparations, do not act on the cause of the disease, but contribute to its external manifestations.
- Antiviral ointments.It is clear from the name that such ointments act on the cause of papillomas - the virus. Drugs disrupt the development and multiplication of the virus.
Ointments can also be made at home. The most famous and effective is vinegar ointment. Place the washed fresh chicken eggs in a glass, pour the vinegar (essence). Close tightly. When the shell disintegrates, remove the film that was under the shell, add the internal fat, mix well. Store the ointment in the refrigerator, the shelf life is several years.
Garlic-Vaseline ointment, celandine and oil jelly, vinegar and flour based ointments are also made at home. Homemade ointment can damage healthy skin and its use should be used very carefully.
Skin treatment after papilloma removal
