To combat skin tumors, people often use papilloma ointment.The effectiveness of this product depends on its ingredients, nature of action and severity 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 topical effect.The virus does not disappear from the blood.The use of ointments, and at the same time antiviral drugs, strengthening immune defenses will help avoid relapses.
Method of removing papillomas
Papillomas are benign skin growths.In very rare cases, papillomas can develop into malignant tumors.If the papilloma does not cause discomfort (physical or emotional), it does not need to be removed.
But if the tumor causes pain, for example when rubbed against clothing, treatment is needed.It is best to consult an experienced doctor about the possibility and options of papilloma treatment.Experts usually recommend removing papillomas using one of the following methods:
- Surgery (excision under local anesthesia).
- Liquid nitrogen (cold reduction).
- Acid.
- Laser beam.
- Electric current (electric current).
Many people use folk remedies in the fight against papillomas.Before using traditional methods, you should consult your doctor.Some products cannot be used, for example on the face, others can cause individual side effects.
The use of ointments to remove papillomas, as opposed to immediate surgical or laser removal, is a gentler way to fight the tumors.
Types of ointments
All ointments used to treat papillomas can be divided into 2 types:
Ready-made ointments are sold in pharmacies or specialty stores and come in 3 types:
- Ointments based on active acids.Antiseptics are known to have anti-inflammatory properties.It is not recommended to use such ointments to treat papillomas on the face.In addition, the drug can cause side effects in individuals and is not recommended for children and people with kidney failure.Effects occur after a few weeks of use.These ointments are not effective in all cases.
- Herbal ointment.The active ingredients of the ointment penetrate deep into the roots of the papilloma, and the powder has a detrimental effect on the papilloma itself.Since the products contain medicinal herbs, allergic reactions may occur in people susceptible to allergies.Herbal treatments, like acidic drugs, do not act on the cause of the disease, but help eliminate the external manifestations of the disease.
- Antiviral ointment.From the name it is clear that such ointments have a papilloma - viral effect.These drugs disrupt the growth and reproduction of viruses.
Ointment can also be prepared independently at home.The most famous and effective is vinegar ointment.Wash and clean a chicken egg, put it in a cup and fill it with vinegar (essence).Tightly closed.When the shell is completely dissolved, remove the membrane underneath the shell, add the fat inside, and mix well.The ointment is stored in the refrigerator and has a shelf life of several years.
Garlic-vaseline ointment, ointment made from celandine and kerosene, vinegar and flour are also prepared at home.Homemade ointment can damage healthy skin, so it should be used with extreme caution.
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 excision is thin and tender, and infection can easily penetrate the wound.
The doctor will recommend wound treatment and tell you about the possibility of using cosmetics.Do not use any products until the wound has healed.
After removing the papilloma, you need to carefully monitor your skin, follow your doctor's recommendations and strengthen your immune system to prevent the appearance of new papillomas.
