Papilloma ointment is often used to combat skin tumors.The effectiveness of this product depends on the composition, the nature of action and the 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 to avoid relapses.
Methods for removing papillomas
Papillomas are benign growths on the skin.In very rare cases, a papilloma can develop into a malignant tumor.If the papilloma does not cause discomfort (physical or emotional), then it is not necessary to remove it.
But if the tumor causes pain, for example, when rubbing against clothes, then it should be treated.It is best to consult an experienced doctor about the possibility and choice of papilloma treatment.Experts often recommend removing the papilloma using one of the following methods:
- Surgical (excision under local anesthesia).
- Liquid nitrogen (cryodestruction).
- acid.
- A laser.
- Electric current (electrocoagulation).
Many people use folk remedies to fight papillomas.Before using traditional methods, you should consult a 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 tumors.
Types of ointments
All ointments used to combat papillomas can be divided into 2 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 for the treatment of 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 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.Since the products consist of medicinal herbs, an allergic reaction is possible in people prone to allergies.Herbal medicines, 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 causative agent of papillomas - the virus.Medicines disrupt the development and reproduction processes 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 glass and poured with vinegar (essence).Close tightly.When the shell dissolves, remove the film that was under the shell, add internal fat, mix well.The ointment is stored in a refrigerator and has a shelf life of several years.
Garlic-vaseline ointment, ointments based on celandine and vaseline, 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 papilloma removal should be discussed with a doctor.The skin at the removal site is thin and tender, and infection can easily enter the wound.
The doctor will recommend treatment of 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 should carefully monitor your skin, follow the doctor's recommendations and strengthen your immune system to prevent the appearance of new papillomas.
