It is necessary to get preparations for warts with knowledge of the matter. The best solution is to consult a doctor who will examine your condition with papillomas and prescribe the appropriate medication. Self-medication can worsen the situation and cause a number of side effects. For the treatment of warts, exposure to drugs is considered by many to be the most optimal. Therefore, we will look at some remedies and help you choose wart remedies.
Drug release forms
In the case of warts, most people prefer to treat them with the help of pharmaceutical products. However, the possibility of using traditional medicine should not be excluded.
In fact, in terms of the effectiveness of the influence on the wart, traditional medicine can show results that are no worse than numerous pharmaceutical products. Traditional medicine removes warts gradually and safely. But for many, the duration of treatment becomes the main reason for abandoning traditional medicine in favor of drug treatment.
Going to the pharmacy kiosk to buy medicines, you should know that there are a number of forms for releasing medicines. Which drug you will use largely depends on the doctor's conclusions and your financial capabilities.
There are the following forms of release of pharmaceutical products for the treatment of papillomas and warts:
- Solutions for papillomas and warts. Basically, these are cauterizing, keratolic or mummifying drugs that have a devastating effect on the body of the papilloma. They must be applied carefully, without affecting healthy skin. Some over-the-counter wart solutions are only available by prescription or require professional application. That is, they are not used at home, but only the doctor applies the medicine.
- Fat and cream. They have an oily base, which allows the active substances to be gradually absorbed into the skin. They are second in popularity among pharmaceutical drugs for papillomas and warts after solutions. The objective disadvantage of creams and ointments is that after their application, the skin dries for a long time and absorbs grease, which can leave marks on clothes.
- Tablets. Doctors usually prescribe complex treatment for warts. Antiviral drugs and immunomodulators take the main place here. Some of them are sold in tablet form. They can be used as an independent remedy if there is no need to quickly get rid of papillomas.
- Gel. It is characterized by fast action due to its composition and ability to absorb. Gels are not used so often, because their range in the fight against papillomas is insignificant. But it has certain advantages over ointment or cream.
- Oil. Despite the greasy consistency, these drugs can be characterized by an aggressive action. This does not include essential oils that are often used to treat and remove papillomas.
- Freezing spray. The freezer is becoming more and more popular. Such means replace going to a clinic for cryodestruction. Home freezing with liquid nitrogen does not require special skills. It is only necessary to strictly follow the instructions for use from the manufacturer.
- Plasters from warts and papillomas. Their advantage is that they perform two functions simultaneously. Impregnation of the patch has a destructive effect on the papilloma, and the patch itself closes the growth from external influences or possible accidental damage. And they rarely need to be changed, which simplifies the treatment process.
- Pencils. Designed for spot application on wart-affected skin areas. Pencils are easy to use, but they are potentially harmful to healthy skin. Therefore, it is not recommended to apply the drug from a pencil to the skin near the papilloma.
Popular medicines
It is immediately worth noting that treating warts in children without appropriate experience or knowledge at home is not recommended. If your child has warts, take them to the doctor first.
The child's organism is able to quickly adapt and resist the papilloma virus in a natural way. That is, in many cases warts do not need to be treated. They are self-absorbed within 1-2 years after appearance.
If the doctor deems it necessary, the child will be prescribed antiviral agents, local preparations to speed up the treatment process. In situations that require surgical intervention, radio wave excision, laser removal or professional cryodestruction will be the best solution.
If you encounter papillomas as an adult, then you should not count on their self-resorption. First try medical treatment of the warts, and if that doesn't help, resort to removal.
How can warts be removed? We offer a list of some drugs that are popular and effective for the problem of papillomavirus. But the use of any of them requires prior consultation with experts.
- A solution with a cauterizing effect, characterized by an oil base and a rather pungent smell. But the unpleasant smell can be tolerated, because the drug is very effective and can get rid of small papillomas literally in one application. The medicine for children is contraindicated. Be sure to treat the skin around the neoplasm on which the solution is applied with any fatty cream or ordinary oil.
- Antiviral drug for warts. The effectiveness of the drug is due to the fact that it is based on synthesized interferon. This is a substance that our body produces to fight against pests, including the papilloma virus. By increasing the concentration of the protective interferon protein, it is possible to get rid of papillomas in a fairly short period of time. In addition, the product is safe for healthy skin. The course of treatment is prescribed individually, but must not exceed 30 days.
- The most popular, most effective, and therefore popular pills against warts. The drug helps to increase the body's protective functions and restore the immune system. The course lasts 2 weeks, after which you need to take a break for a month and repeat the course to consolidate the result.
- Herbal remedy for papillomas, presented in the form of a gel. Its application allows us to improve the production of our body's natural protective interferon protein. Because of this, the warts disappear within a week. The course of treatment lasts up to 10 days. The skin should be treated a maximum of 5 times during the day. The gel is characterized by its composition, which allows the active substances to penetrate deep into the skin and have a negative effect directly on the root of the papilloma.
- Castor oil. A fairly inexpensive drug for papillomas, which is best shown in the fight against neoplasms on the hands. The oil is rubbed into the skin every day until the growths disappear completely. But the treatment can last about a month.
- Iodine. Another inexpensive pharmaceutical drug that destroys the wart, helps it dry out and fall off. Iodine should be applied no more than 2-3 times a day, and the course should be continued for no more than 10 days.
- Pharmacy spray for freezing, which comes with an applicator for applying the product and detailed instructions for use. Contraindicated in persons younger than 4 years.
In no case should you self-treat papillomas and warts. Consult a doctor who will give concrete and optimal recommendations on the choice of pharmaceutical preparations and medicines.
