It has been found that skin growth appears in almost all people. But not everyone pays attention to them, combining the appearance of a piece with a new mother.
This is not entirely true. In most cases, these are benign formations. Doctors recommend that you remove them. A dermatologist or venereologist will tell you how to remove your papilloma.
Causes of Papilloma
Skin growth occurs under the influence of human papillomavirus. There are about 100 virus strains under one name that provoke the appearance of the most diverse tumors in shape, color, and size. These viruses enter the skin or mucous membranes and persist forever
Currently, pharmacists are unable to provide a drug that can get rid of this pathogen. However, doctors have found ways to fight HPV, which we’ll talk about a little later.
The human defense system can inhibit the vital activity of the virus for a long time, so the first symptoms of the disease appear in a week or even years. It all depends on how strong a person’s immunity is.
If the immune system can cope with the virus, why do papillomas appear?As already mentioned, the virus stays in the body forever and as soon as the defense system weakens, it is immediately activated and creates growth on the skin.
Immunity is weakened for the following reasons:
- Hormonal disorders (pregnancy, breastfeeding, taking hormonal medications).
- Bad habits (drug addiction, smoking, alcoholism).
- unbalanced diet.
- Exacerbation of chronic or congenital diseases
- Overweight.
- Long-term drug use.
- Promising sex.
- Common cold.
When the human body is exposed to these factors, tumors appear. Doctors recommend removing papillomas, although they do not endanger human life.
Why remove warts and tumors
There are a number of consequences if papillomas appear if not treated in a timely manner.
- Some tumors are caused by oncogenic viruses. Such multiplications easily degenerate into a malignant shape and result in cancer.
- Papillomas usually occur in areas where the skin comes in contact with clothing. This means that the deposit is permanently damaged. A small wound or crack in the dust for secondary infection. Damaged papillomas do not heal well, scarring can develop there. In the worst case, supposition may develop, which is ingested by sepsis.
- Often patients consult a doctor, if the disease is very advanced, it increases so much that it is better to choose surgical removal. Physicians choose this method as a last resort.
- Lack of treatment is also dangerous because it can infect family and friends.
How to treat tumors
Traditional medicine offers both medication and one method of removing papilloma. It is desirable that the treatment be comprehensive. This helps to reduce the risk of tumors recurring.In some cases, the tumors disappear on their own after taking the medication, and you do not have to choose the method of removing the papilloma.This can happen in this case:
- Tumorsvery fresh (recently applied).
- Human immunity works well.
Medications
As mentioned above, HPV is incurable. However, doctors prescribe antiviral drugs that reduce the activity of the pathogen well. And then the case depends on human immunity. If the body's protective function is impaired, your doctor will advise you to take immunostimulants, immunomodulators and vitamin complexes.
In pharmacies, you can find medications that help remove papilloma.These are ointments, creams, concentrated solutions. They are applied directly to the formations.It is not advisable to prescribe such treatment to yourself or others.These products contain quite corrosive acids or alkalis
Using them without consulting your doctor may result in:
- Papilloma damage.

- Welding damaged areas.
Methods of papilloma removal
Modern medicine offers a number of effective ways to remove tumors. Painless and effective. If there is a lot of growth or large, several procedures need to be performed, but in case the papillomas are small and relatively recent, a visit to the manipulation room is sufficient.
Surgery
Surgical removal of the papillomais rarely chosen as a radical treatment. The procedure is performed in the operating room under general anesthesia. Scars usually remain after surgery.
Indication of the deletion method:
- Large area of tumors caused by tumors.
- Significant growth dimensions.
- No other method can be used.
Compared to surgery, below we learn about modern papilloma removal methods, go much faster and give good results.
Cryodestruction
As a result of this procedure, the papilloma is cauterized with liquid nitrogen.The patient calls this therapy freezing. At low temperatures, the tumors die from the inside and disappear after a while.
The procedure works, but it has some drawbacks:
- Even an experienced professional will find it difficult to check the depth of impact. Therefore, healthy areas of the skin may burn if the material passes too deep or a second procedure will be required. In this case, the low temperature did not affect the entire papilloma, and areas of infection remained
- Scars may appear.
- Pain during the procedure (personal pain sensitivity)
Laser therapy
This is the most popular procedure.Laser removal of the papilloma is very fast and almost painless. If manipulation is performed on very sensitive areas of the skin, local anesthesia should be used.
The procedure is performed as follows:
- Your doctor will gradually remove all layers of affected cells with a laser.
- There is no blood as the beam cauterizes the vessel directly with the mice.
This way you can remove all training and not leave the smallest infected area. Healing after the procedure takes place within a week. It is important that scars or scars after laser removal are extremely rare.
Electrocoagulation
This procedure, like the previous one, is very popular. Papillomas are removed with a high-frequency electric current. The procedure is completely safe and is therefore recommended for children.In small patients, the procedure is performed under general anesthesia. Adults use local anesthesia.
Electrocoagulation removes both large and small formations. In this case, after removal, the growth can be examined for the appearance of cancerous changes because the papilloma was not burned but removed. Bleeding during the procedure is also completely ruled out, as all blood vessels are processed immediately.
The disadvantage of such removal is the possibility of scarring or recurrent papilloma.
Radio wave shift
For this procedure, the doctor uses a special knife that generates radio waves. Under their influence, the papilloma is removed.Thanks to the high precision of the procedure, healthy tissues are not damaged, so there is no burn injury or other damage.
Relapses after such a procedure are very rare. Local anesthesia is recommended to relieve pain, although patients with a high pain threshold do not experience discomfort.
Benign abnormal tumors are removed by radio wave method. Removal of malignancies in this way is contraindicated.
Of course, it is better to remove this or that formation, the doctor will decide, comparing the possible negative consequences and the positive results of the procedures. However, the procedure is named only after the test results obtained.
In summary, you need to monitor your health to achieve clean and good skin. After treating a papilloma virus infection, your doctor may make the following recommendations:
