Papilloma ointment is often used to combat tumors on the skin.The effectiveness of the product depends on the composition, the nature of the effect and the extent of the infection.Papillomas on the body and mucous membranes appear when the papillomavirus 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 the ointment and simultaneous use of antiviral agents, strengthening the immune system, helps to avoid relapses.
Methods of removing papillomas
Papillomas are benign skin growths.In very rare cases, a 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, such as when rubbing against clothing, it should be treated.It is best to consult an experienced doctor about the possibility and choice of treatment for papilloma.Experts often recommend removing the 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.Consult your doctor before using traditional methods.Some products cannot be used on the face, for example, others may cause individual side effects.
The use of ointments for the removal of papillomas, in contrast to immediate surgical or laser removal, is a milder way of combating tumors.
Types of ointments
All ointments used to combat papillomas can be divided into two types:
Ready-made ointments are sold in pharmacies or specialized stores 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 to treat papillomas on the face.In addition, the drugs can cause individual side effects and are not recommended for children and people with kidney failure.The effect appears 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 are made of herbs, allergic reactions are possible in people prone to allergies.Herbs, like acid-based medicines, do not act on the cause of the disease, but help to eliminate its external manifestations.
- Antiviral ointments.It is clear from the name that such ointments act on the cause of papillomas - the virus.Medicines disrupt the development and reproduction processes of the virus.
Ointments can be prepared independently at home.The most famous and effective is the vinegar ointment.A washed, clean chicken egg is placed in a cup and filled with vinegar (essence).Close it tightly.When the shell dissolves, remove the foil under the shell, add inner fat, mix well.The ointment is stored in the refrigerator and can last for several years.
Garlic-vaseline ointment, celandine and vaseline-based ointments, vinegar and flour are also made 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 your doctor.The skin at the site of removal is thin and sensitive, and infection can easily enter the wound.
The doctor will recommend treating 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 carefully monitor the skin, follow the doctor's recommendations and strengthen the immune system to prevent the appearance of new papillomas.
