Pharmacological treatment of warts and papillomas is a modern therapeutic technique. Thanks to the latest advances in science and medicine, pharmacies offer a huge amount of all kinds of products to care for problem areas and combat such tumors.
Brief information about papillomas
It is important to understand that human papillomavirus (HPV) is a serious infection that is difficult to treat. Each type of antiviral drug has its own specificity of use and effect. It is important to approach the problem correctly, taking into account the characteristics of the pathogen.
Papilloma elements are superficial tumors that are more like moles. Almost all have short legs that are attached to the surface. Externally, such elements do not appear aesthetic, which makes them embarrassing and uncomfortable.
The shape of the tumors is very different: flat, pointed, filamentous, mosaic. The color of the deposit can be distinguished from the skin: slightly lighter or darker. These increases are due to an increase in the number of elements in the upper layer of the epidermis in a particular area of the body.
The infection has been secret for a long time. The patient has only one complaint - the appearance of characteristic moles, warts. All the internal structures of the body are also under attack. It has been shown that in the case of an infectious lesion, separate formations are revealed on the mucosal elements of the stomach, urea and cervix.
Characteristics of medication
Preparations for removing papillomas are often used. The main therapy for this disease is surgical removal of tumors. In this way, viral elements on the surface of the face, neck, arms and legs are removed. This is a radical way to get rid of warts, which is not always advisable. A milder technique is to use drugs for viral tumors. The correct, appropriate and complete use of medicines has been shown to produce good results.
It is important to know and understand: there is no cure for the virus. After infection, the pathogen remains in the body forever. The only thing that can be done is to control the activity. Modern drugs for the removal of papillomas make it possible to stop the spread of the pathogen and minimize the external manifestation of the disease.
If papilloma is detected, how to treat it and what medications to use, the doctor will decide after examining the patient. Complex therapy with the right intensity quickly restores immunity. Medicines for papillomas differ according to different criteria. In addition to the composition of the active ingredient and the manufacturer's company, they differ in their pricing policy. In practice, there are basically 2 main groups of antipapilloma drugs. They differ fundamentally in the mechanism of action on the pathogen. These are local and systemic drugs that can be found in every pharmacy.
Topical exposure agents are applied directly to the affected areas: elements of growth. As a result, any altered structure dies quickly, dries out, and falls off on its own. Systemic drugs, including tablets and capsules, act on the pathogen itself when pressed from the inside. Therefore, it is best to take comprehensive measures to combat the disease: this is the only way to reliably stop the virus from working.
Particularly popular are simple and affordable drugs that include:
- salicylic acid (alcohol);
- tincture of iodine;
- medical pencils;
- castor oil (for warts);
- adhesive plaster for removing corns;
- ammonia;
- hydrogen peroxide;
- tea tree essential oil.
It has been proven to be the best ointment items to use on the skin for external use against warts. These valuable drugs, even at maximum doses, cause minimal toxicity to the body. The drugs act only locally. The increases following such exposure disappear rapidly.
One of the most popular and cheapest treatments for papilloma neoplasms from this group is the pencil. We have been talking about a drug known for a long time, based on silver compounds. This pencil is specifically designed to fight warts and papillomas. The product is extremely easy to use, fast and durable.
The pencil is the medicine of choice for many patients. It has a particularly cauterizing, antibacterial and necrotic effect on tumors. It is a very concentrated substance, so it should be used with caution without touching nearby healthy tissues. Otherwise, there is a risk of necrotizing healthy skin surfaces.
It is better to consult a specialist before using the product. Improper use can cause burns and scarring of the skin. It is better not to use such a cure on the face, neck, genitals.
Pills immunostimulants
One way to fight the virus is to prescribe special medications that stimulate the patient. Such treatment should be prescribed for the most severe, frequent and prolonged relapsing disease. Such symptoms indicate the weakening of the body, the exhaustion of its defenses. Therefore, it becomes necessary to prescribe drugs to restore immunity.
The list of drugs for complex therapy of viral relapse includes immunomodulators. The drugs are effective in inhibiting the growth of the virus, killing all diseased and damaged cellular elements. They show a pronounced antiviral effect while significantly strengthening the immune system.
The drug for the treatment of pathological disorders of the immune system is available in the form of tablets. The duration of therapy should not exceed 4 weeks.
The therapeutic regimen and drug dosage are calculated individually. It all depends on the type of virus and the extent of the damage. With common papillomas, medication is enough. If warts are detected on the skin, in addition to the tablets, surgery is also indicated.
Homeopathy against HPV
In order to overcome the signs of viral invasion, they always fought with the help of natural ingredients. Such therapy is particularly effective in the complex fight against papillomavirus. Tinctures of ginseng, lemongrass or echinacea are particularly demanding among patients. The mummy-based cream is considered valuable. Herbs are in high demand because they are orders of magnitude softer than industrial concentrated acidic or alkaline drugs.
Selection of drugs
It is recommended that a dermatologist be consulted for the treatment of papillomavirus. Therapy depends on the location of the virus. If a number of tumors have appeared, for example in intimate places - examination and consultation with a gynecologist or andrologist. Experts say self-treatment of viral tumors poses a major health risk. This is due to the fact that papilloma formations are often malignant.
Due to poorly selected and inadequate therapy, a new recurrence of the disease occurs rapidly. Choosing the right medicine ensures:
- elimination of skin blemishes;
- strengthening the immunity needed to rule out relapse of the disease.
Human papillomavirus infection is one of the most common pathologies of our time. The pathogen is extremely persistent. It primarily affects mucosal structures. To successfully combat the manifestations of the pathology, it is extremely important to undergo a comprehensive examination to determine the type of virus. This is the first step towards finding the right and complete therapy. Modern techniques and treatment methods can only minimize the external signs of infection.
