Papilloma ointment is often used to fight skin growths. The effectiveness of this agent depends on the composition, the nature of the action, the degree of infection. Papillomas in the body and mucous membranes occur when the papilloma virus enters the body.
Therefore, the use of ointments, creams, gels generally has only a local effect. The virus does not disappear from the blood. The use of ointments and antiviral drugs at the same time, strengthening the immune system will help prevent relapses.
Ways to remove papillomas
Papillomas are benign neoplasms on the skin. In very rare cases, papilloma can develop into a malignant tumor. If the papilloma does not cause discomfort (physical or emotional), you cannot eliminate it.
However, if the neoplasm causes pain, for example, when rubbing on clothes, then it must be treated. It is best to consult an experienced physician about the likelihood and choice of a method for the treatment of papilloma. Experts often recommend the removal of papilloma in one of the following ways:
- Surgery (excision under local anesthesia).
- Liquid nitrogen (cryodestruction).
- Acid.
- Laser.
- Electric shock (electrocoagulation).
Many people use folk remedies to fight papilloma. You should consult a doctor before using traditional methods. Some products, for example, can not be used on the face, while others can cause individual side effects.
The use of ointments to remove papillomas, as opposed to immediate surgical or laser removal, is a lighter method of combating neoplasms.
Types of ointments
All 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 to treat facial papillomas. In addition, foundations can cause individual side effects and are not recommended for children and people with kidney failure. The effect occurs after a few 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. As the products contain herbs, an allergic reaction is not excluded in people prone to allergies. Herbal remedies, like acid-based preparations, do not act on the cause of the disease, but help to eliminate its external manifestations.
- Antiviral ointments.As the name implies, such ointments are the cause of papillomas - a virus. Drugs disrupt the development and reproduction of the virus.
Ointments can also be made at home. The most popular and effective is vinegar ointment. Washed clean chicken eggs are placed in a glass and poured with vinegar (itself). Close tightly. When the shell is dissolved, remove the film from the bottom of the shell, add the inner oil, mix well. Keep the ointment in the refrigerator, the shelf life is several years.
Garlic-Vaseline ointment, currant and oil gel based ointments, vinegar and flour are also made at home. Homemade ointment can damage healthy skin and should be used with extreme caution.
Skin treatment after papilloma removal
After removing a papilloma, the use of any skin care product, including ointment, should be discussed with a physician. The skin at the site of removal is thin, delicate, and the infection can easily spread to the wound.
The doctor will advise you on the means to treat the wound, explain to you the possibilities of using cosmetics. It is not recommended to use any tool until the wound heals.
After getting rid of papillomas, you should carefully monitor the skin, follow the doctor's recommendations, and strengthen the immune system to prevent the formation of new papillomas.
