Treatment of neck papillomas has antiviral and immunostimulatory effects, which can suppress HPV activity. There are many different drugs that can effectively fight the disease. All help to reduce the activity of the virus, but do not help to completely remove papillomas, which require minimally invasive surgery.
Why do papillomas appear on the neck?
The neck is in close contact with the collar of the dress. With active sweating, moisture appears, which is an optimal condition for the development of papillomas. A virus enters the body from the outside and stimulates the appearance of accumulated in the epithelial cells.
The second precondition for the onset of the disease is a decrease in immunity. Only in the presence of pathologically low immune reactions, the virus is able to actively multiply and affect the skin of the neck. The size and number of neoplasms depend entirely on how many virus cells there are in the body.
What do they look like?
Cervical papillomatosis can have several types of warts:
- Sharp- has a common base and many papillae on the edge. Soft and elastic, with a meaty tone. Most susceptible to damage.
- Straight- looks like a small round spot with a pale brown color. External manifestations are like a break.
- Filiform- single papillomas resembling thin filaments 2-3 cm high. Trauma is triggered by pain. Infection is possible at the wound site.
Papillomas are often confused with moles, but they have nothing in common. Papillomatosis is triggered by a virus, so it is impossible to get rid of it just by removing the neoplasm. Complex treatment is required, carried out in stages.
Medications for the treatment of papillomas in the neck
The main task of drug treatment is a comprehensive effect on viral cells obtained by taking antiviral and immunomodulatory substances. Treatment should be chosen by the physician, taking into account the individual characteristics of the body and the type of HPV.
Medications
Antiviral drugs affect the cells of the virus and cause their destruction. They are prescribed in the presence of an advanced form of papillomatosis and more than 10-15 neoplasms in the neck.
Immunostimulants help to "wake up" the immune system by affecting the synthesis of immune cells. It is prescribed by a doctor based on the results of the immunogram.
The duration of treatment depends entirely on the degree of damage to the skin of the neck and the level of the virus in the blood. The choice of this or that remedy is determined only by a doctor. Self-medication can be ineffective and dangerous to health, especially if you have a chronic illness.
Ointments
For topical application, a tool for neck papillomas allows the accumulation of viral cells, destroying them. With proper treatment, papillomas decrease in size and disappear completely in the early stages.
The ointment is applied in the direction with a cotton swab or ear stick. Severe itching, redness and spots along the neck can lead to withdrawal of the drug and reconsideration of treatment.
Creams
Creams have a papilloma-like effect, but differ in consistency and ability to penetrate the deeper layers of the epidermis, neutralizing not only the outer part of the papilloma, but also the root.
Pharmacy treatment of neck papillomas should be used with extreme caution, as they can affect not only the papilloma itself, but also healthy skin areas.
Apparatus methods of papilloma treatment
Papilloma consists of altered and viral epithelial cells that must be removed.
Modern hardware methods are used for this:
- Radio wave therapyis the most painless and effective way to remove the neoplasm, leaving no scars or scars.
- Cryodestruction- freezing the wart where the virus is completely dead.
- Electrocoagulation- current-induced papilloma burning, followed by wound formation.
- Laser removal- is prescribed for deep skin lesions. The procedure is extremely painful and therefore requires local anesthesia.
The best treatment for neck papillomas is radiofrequency ablation. Before the procedure, a course of antiviral and immunostimulatory drugs that reduce the activity of the virus is prescribed.
Surgical intervention
Removal of papilloma of the neck is not used in the treatment of papillomatosis. This is due to the following factors:
- Low efficiency of the procedure - only the superficial part of the neoplasm is removed and the root remains in place.
- The risk of injury is high - there are veins and capillaries in the neck, and if damaged, bleeding cannot be prevented.
- Probability of recurrence - new warts appear at the site of papilloma removed after a certain period of time.
Based on the results of the diagnosis, the doctor prescribes this or that procedure. Superficial flat papillomas are best removed using cryodestruction, the pointed neoplasms at the root require a deeper impact with laser power.
Folk remedies
It is strictly forbidden to use alternative medicine without consulting a specialist and undergoing a thorough diagnosis. Some papillomas are triggered by a virus with high oncogenicity, so any manipulation and destruction of the neoplasm can lead to the development of cancer.
Sometimes folk remedies for neck papillomas are the only way out, as traditional medicines have a detrimental effect on the liver and digestive system. However, they should be used with extreme caution.
If there are several small papillomas on the skin of the neck, the doctor may suggest home treatment based on the use of available means.
The most effective are:
- Carnation water- apply fresh water from the stem of the plant to the papilloma, then it becomes smaller. The procedure is painful, but very effective.
- Garlic Cream- Take 1 clove of garlic and chop it into mashed potatoes, then add a tablespoon of baby cream. Apply a thick layer to the papilloma.
- Walnut-kerosene tincture- Take 5 tablespoons of refined kerosene for a handful of green walnuts. All ingredients are mixed to a homogeneous mass and allowed to infuse for 7-10 days in the refrigerator. Apply a thin layer for 3-4 hours, then wash skin with warm water and soap.
Some recipes can cause rapid deterioration and active growth of papillomas along the neck. This requires constant supervision by doctors. Folk remedies for neck papillomas help reduce the appearance of the virus, but do not completely fight it.
To strengthen the immune system, herbal teas containing herbs with bactericidal and anti-inflammatory properties are used: chamomile, sage, mint, mint, thyme, nettle, nettle, burdock.
All self-medication should be supervised by a physician. The highest effectiveness of therapy is achieved when folk recipes are supported by antiviral agents and immunomodulators. If adverse reactions develop, it is necessary to return to traditional treatment.
Prevention
Because the virus can be everywhere, it is not possible to completely protect yourself from HPV. However, there are a number of guidelines that can help reduce the likelihood of infection:
- Avoid contact with a sick person and never use household items.
- Limit visits to saunas and swimming pools where there is a high risk of infection.
- If you have a regular sexual partner, use barrier contraception.
- Follow the rules of personal hygiene, do not give personal belongings and clothes to anyone.
- Strengthen immunity with proper nutrition and active lifestyle.
- Get rid of bad habits in favor of a healthy lifestyle.
If a person has strong immunity, after infection, the body will prevent the virus from coping and manifesting itself in the form of papilloma.
