Everyone cares about their appearance and health. Everything is used - from homemade creams, masks, vitamins, to regular visits to beauty salons. And the sudden appearance on the body of unpleasant growths - warts or papillomas sinks into shock. What is this? Where? How dangerous is it? And finally, the main question, what to do with all this?
Anyone can face this problem. The human papillomavirus is spreading more and more every year. And no one is free from the criminal actions of the unruly invader. Well, let's get to know the enemy better.
Human papillomavirus (HPV)
The appearance of benign tumors on the skin or mucous membranes in the form of warts or papillomas is associated with the presence of HPV (human papillomavirus) in the body. It affects the lower layer of the skin (epithelium) and causes cell division.
The HPV group includes several virus strains:
- The first group causes the formation of warts and papules on the skin.
- The second group affects the genitals (genital warts appear there).
- The most dangerous group of viruses has oncogenic properties and causes the degeneration of growths into cancerous tumors.
Great!
Women are at risk for developing HPV cancer. But men must not forget the danger.
Popular breeding sites
Warts and papillomas are found on the skin and mucous membranes of the body. You can find them:
On the skin:
- Face, neck, eyelids.
- In the armpit;
- In the area of the mammary glands or below them.
- In the groin.
In the mucous membranes:
- Nose, mouth, vocal cords.
- Cyst;
- The organs of the gastrointestinal tract.
- Genitals.
Choice of treatment method
A disease such as papillomatosis should not be allowed to progress. Nipples are easily injured and this can accelerate their growth.
Of course, it is best to see a specialist. A dermatologist will be able to determine the exact cause of the disease and choose the right treatment for each case. In most cases, a specialist will offer a radical method of treating papillomas:
- Surgical;
- Electrocoagulation method (removal by electric current).
- Exemption from growths with liquid nitrogen (freezing).
- Laser treatment.
Any radical treatment method is combined with antiviral drugs. They come in the form of suppositories, drops, tablets or capsules. Their action is associated with the suppression of the virus and the increase of immunity.
Recurrence of the disease is possible even if all the doctor's instructions are followed. In this case, the neoplasms will be smaller in size, their total number will also decrease. It usually takes 2-3 sessions of radical treatment to forget about this problem forever.
Nipple removal at home
Unfortunately, it is not always possible to find time to visit a specialist. And papilloma is one such small thing that you can treat at home. Whatever option you choose to get rid of nipples, the main rule is one. Such treatment must be complete:
- External - to remove the tumor itself.
- Antiviral - destruction of HPV.
- Immunoregulatory - boost immunity.
Let's start by correcting the external problem. To do this, go to the pharmacy.
Means for removing papillomas at the pharmacy
How to understand the variety of drugs presented in the pharmacy network and find what works? Pharmacy nipple funds can be roughly divided into three categories:
- Cold preparations?
- Medicines;
- Preparations for the removal of papillomas based on medicinal plants.
Cold preparations
These papillomavirus drugs work in the same way as liquid nitrogen used in specialized clinics. They are produced in the form of an aerosol. These papilloma drugs freeze the tumor, tissue necrosis begins, and the accumulation disappears.
These medicines include propane and dimethyl ether. An effective remedy for papillomas and small warts. How to apply:
- Apply a little medicine to the application.
- Then apply the applicator to the problem area of the skin for 30 seconds.
- We continue to observe the tumor. If after two weeks the nipple has not completely disappeared, the procedure should be repeated.
The maximum number of procedures allowed under the instructions does not exceed three. To avoid burns on healthy areas of the skin, the manufacturer advises you to strictly follow the instructions.
Herbal remedies for the removal of papillomas
Herbs with hot poisonous properties were known to our grandmothers. They used castor oil and celandine for papillomas and other tumors. Now you do not need to collect grass "on a full moon at sunrise", you can use celandine from the pharmacy.
Celandine
Celandine treatment is probably the first thing that comes to mind when unpleasant growths are detected in the body. In the pharmacy network, it is easy to find wart removal that contains this herb. The composition of the most famous drug, in addition to the aforementioned herb, includes potassium and sodium alkali, the action of which is manifested in the appearance of local burns. How to apply: lubricate the skin abundantly near the nipple with a greasy cream. The liquid is applied directly to the tumor using a special spatula that comes with the kit. An unwanted side effect when removing papillae with celandine is scarring of the damaged area of skin. It is rather difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of this tool, as different manufacturers dilute the drug in different ways. And the strength of its effect is directly related to the concentration of alkalis in the preparation.
castor oil
Contains castor plant oil. Used to treat plantar warts. How to apply: steam the skin of the feet well, apply oil on the problem area and cover with plaster. After half an hour, remove the plaster and gently scrape the accumulation. Repeat the process up to ten times.
The effectiveness of castor oil in the treatment of warts and papillomas is questionable. Rather, its action is intended to soften the hardened skin of the feet.
Drops from papillae
They contain three main ingredients: tea tree oil, salicylic acid and castor oil. These nipple drops are available in tinted glass bottles. Method of application: the drops are applied to the tumor, left to dry. Repeat 2-3 times. The result will appear after 2-3 weeks. Based on the composition of the drug, one can judge its antiseptic, bactericidal and moisturizing properties. If it does not relieve the problem of tumors, then it will not harm the body.
Medicines
This group of drugs for papillomas includes drugs, the action of which is manifested by cauterization and mummification of skin cells affected by the virus. They usually contain acids, alkalis and ethanol.
Topical non-necrotic solution
Contains podophyllotoxin, which causes pain at the application site. Papilloma first turns red, then turns black and dies. Sold in small tinted bottles. Method of application: within three days, morning and evening, the solution is applied only to the nipples using a special spatula. It is necessary to be extremely careful and not to allow the product to penetrate into healthy areas of the skin. After 4 days, the procedure is repeated. It is considered the most effective drug according to patient reviews.
Cautery cream or ointment
This medicine is intended to fight both papillomas and warts. Its action is aimed at destroying the human papillomavirus and developing immunity to this disease. Method of application: the cream is applied in a thin layer twice a day on the tumor. It is important to avoid taking the product in healthy areas of the skin, as well as in the mammary glands and armpits. The duration of treatment is up to four weeks.
Nitrate silver pencil
Finding this safe treatment for papillomas is not difficult at the pharmacy. The preparation contains silver nitrate, which has an antiseptic effect. The action of the pencil aims at the destruction of bacteria and the burning of tumors. It is also used to treat wounds, cracks and other skin injuries.
Having faced the cosmetic problem and removing the nipples, you need to understand that the virus itself was not defeated. The human papillomavirus is very resistant and extremely difficult to treat. To prevent the recurrence of the disease in the form of new papillomas and warts, complex treatment is required, including the intake of antiviral and immunomodulatory agents.
Antiviral drugs
With their help, the activity of HPV is reduced. These include:
- The drug with inosine - has a milder effect, is well tolerated by children and the elderly.
- Sodium luminol salt - can be taken for a long time, suitable for children.
- A drug that prevents the virus from multiplying.
- A drug that reduces the activity of the virus and stimulates the immune system.
It should be borne in mind that these drugs affect the body as a whole, so it is not recommended to take them without consulting a doctor!
Immunoregulatory agents
They increase the body's resistance and correct the natural immunity. Assign:
- A drug - analogous to natural peptidoglycan - is usually taken together with an antiviral drug, which is produced in the form of tablets.
- Preparations with interferons, have an immunostimulatory effect, are produced in the form of suppositories (vaginal and rectal).
- A biological product that combines the ability to resist the virus and strengthen the immune system is available as an injection solution.
- Herbal immunostimulants - decoctions and tinctures of ginseng, eleutherococcus, echinacea, aralia.
You can try to remove the papules that appeared on the body yourself. Exceptions are tumors in visible areas of the body.
You should not fight yourself with nipples in the neck, face and décolleté. When starting treatment at home, you should not expect immediate results. This will take time. Failure to follow the instructions for use and precautions for home treatment of papillomas can cause skin burns, scars and scars.
Great!
To avoid complications, outsource papilloma treatment to professionals. See your doctor!
A dermatologist will pinpoint the cause of the papules and also tell you how to get rid of them quickly and painlessly.
