Papillomas and warts are benign neoplasms located on the skin or mucous membranes, small in size, round in shape.
The reason for the appearance of such formations is the infection with the papilloma virus (HPV), which occupies a leading position on the scale of the most common diseases on Earth. There are two main routes of HPV transmission:
- Contact - household;
- Sexually.
The danger of papillomatosis is the development of the malignancy process (transformation of a benign neoplasm into an oncological tumor).
Infection with oncogenic strains of HPV, as well as growth injury, can cause a malignant process. Usually wart growths grow slowly, but if the body's defenses weaken, a full-fledged immune response is not formed, the process of increasing the size and number of growths can be accelerated.
Medical centers and clinics offer radical methods of removing external signs of papillomatosis. However, conservative home treatment will be just as effective.
Important!Before starting self-treatment of papillomatosis, you should consult a dermatologist.
The doctor will conduct the necessary clinical studies, make the correct diagnosis, clarify the HPV strain of the pathogen and recommend the most effective medications to eliminate the skin defects.
Medical care should not be neglected, as improper self-selected treatment can cause malignancy.
Do not attempt to cut the papilloma. This can cause them to spread and degenerate into an oncological tumor. Also, do not try to remove growths on the lining of the larynx, eyes or genitals at home.
Home Remedies
You can get rid of papillomas quickly and efficiently at home with the help of special medications.
Cryodestruction
Many medical clinics offer removal of wart growths with cold liquid nitrogen. This is a painless and low-trauma way to deal with skin damage.
