Papilloma ointment is often used to fight skin tumors.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 ointments and at the same time antiviral drugs, strengthening the immune defense will help to avoid recurrence.
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 it rubs against clothes, then it must be treated.It is best to consult with an experienced doctor about the possibility and choice of papilloma treatment.Experts often recommend removing papillomas 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 can cause individual side effects.
The use of ointments to remove papillomas, in contrast to immediate surgical or laser removal, is a gentler way of fighting tumors.
Types of fats
All ointments used to fight papillomas can be divided into 2 types:
Ready-made ointments are sold in pharmacies or specialized stores and come in 3 types:
- Fats 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 appears after a few weeks of use.These ointments are not effective in all cases.
- Vegetable fats.The active components of the ointment penetrate deep into the roots of the papilloma, and the powders have a harmful 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 cause of papillomas - a virus.Medicines disrupt the processes of virus development and reproduction.
Fats 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 melts, remove the film that was under the shell, add the inner fat, mix well.The fat is stored in the 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 product, including ointments, after papilloma removal must be consulted with a doctor.The skin at the site of removal is thin and delicate, and infection can easily enter 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.
