To combat tumors on the skin, ointment for papillomas is often used.The effectiveness of this product depends on the composition, nature of action, and degree 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 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 defense will help avoid relapses.
Methods for removing papillomas
Papillomas are benign skin growths.In very rare cases, papilloma can develop into a malignant tumor.If the papilloma does not cause discomfort (physical or emotional), then it does not need to be removed.
But if the tumor causes pain, for example, when rubbing against clothing, then it must be treated.It is best to consult with an experienced doctor about the possibility and choice of treatment for papilloma.Experts often recommend removing 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.Before using traditional methods, you should consult a doctor.Some products cannot be used, for example, on the face, others may cause individual side effects.
The use of ointments to remove papillomas, in contrast to instant surgical or laser removal, is a milder way to combat tumors.
Types of ointments
All ointments used to combat 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.Known antiseptics have anti-inflammatory properties.It is not recommended to use such ointments for the treatment of papillomas on the face.In addition, the drugs may cause individual side effects and are not recommended for children and people with kidney failure.The effect occurs after several weeks of use.These ointments are not effective in all cases.
- 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 consist of medicinal herbs, an allergic reaction in people prone to allergies is possible.Herbal remedies, like acid-based drugs, do not act on the cause of the disease, but help eliminate its external manifestations.
- Antiviral ointments.From the name it is clear that such ointments act on the cause of papillomas - the virus.The drugs disrupt the processes of development and reproduction of the virus.
Ointments can also be prepared independently, at home.The most famous and effective is vinegar ointment.A washed, clean chicken egg is placed in a cup and filled with vinegar (essence).Close tightly.When the shell dissolves, remove the film that was under the shell, add interior fat, mix well.The ointment is stored in the refrigerator and has a shelf life of several years.
Garlic-vaseline ointment, ointments based on celandine and petroleum jelly, vinegar and flour are also prepared 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 removal of papilloma must be discussed with a doctor.The skin at the site of removal is thin and tender, and infection can easily get into the wound.
The doctor will recommend treatments for the wound and tell you about the possibility of using cosmetics.It is not recommended to use any products until the wound has healed.
After getting rid of papillomas, you need to carefully monitor your skin, follow your doctor’s recommendations, and strengthen your immune system to prevent the appearance of new papillomas.
