Treatment of warts and papillomas with medicines is a modern therapeutic technique. Thanks to the latest advances in science and medicine, pharmacies have a huge number of all kinds of products for the care of problem areas and to combat such neoplasms.
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 medication against this virus has its own characteristics of use and effect. It is important to approach the problem correctly, taking into account the characteristics of the pathogen.
Papilloma elements are superficial neoplasms that look more like moles. Almost all of them have short legs, with which they are attached to the surface. Outwardly, such elements do not look aesthetically pleasing, which makes them embarrassing and inconvenient.
Neoplasms have a very different shape: flat, pointed, filamentous, mosaic. The color of the build-up is distinctive from the skin itself: it can be slightly lighter or darker. These growths are due to an increase in the number of elements in the upper layer of the epidermis in a specific area of the body.
The infection is secretive for a long time. The patient has only one complaint - the appearance of characteristic moles, warts. All internal structures of the body are also under attack. It has been proven that with an infectious lesion, distinct formations are detected on the mucous elements of the stomach, urea, and cervix.
Features of drug therapy
Preparations for removing papillomas are often used. The main therapy for this ailment is the surgical removal of neoplasms. In this way, viral elements on the surface of the face, neck, arms and legs are removed. This is a radical method of getting rid of warts, which is not always advisable. A more gentle technique is the use of drugs for viral neoplasms. It has been proven that the correct, adequate and full use of drugs brings good results.
It is important to know and understand: there is no panacea for the virus. After infection, the pathogen remains in the body forever. The only thing that can be done is to control its activity. Modern medicines for removing papillomas allow you to stop the spread of the pathogen and minimize the external manifestations of the disease.
If a papilloma is detected, how to treat and what medications to use, the doctor decides after examining the patient. Complex therapy of the correct intensity will quickly restore the immune system. Medicines for papillomas differ among themselves according to different criteria. In addition to the composition of the active substance and the manufacturer's company, they differ in their pricing policy. In practice, there are mainly 2 main groups of antipapilloma drugs in demand. They are fundamentally different in the mechanism of action on the pathogen. These are local and systemic medicines that can be found in every pharmacy.
Local agents for external exposure are directly applied to the affected areas: elements of growths. Because of this, all altered structures quickly die off, dry out and fall off by themselves. Systemic drugs, which include tablets and capsules, have a depressing effect on the pathogen itself from the inside. That is why it is best to apply comprehensive measures to combat the disease: this is the only way to reliably stop the activity of the virus.
Simple and affordable medicines are especially popular, which include:
- salicylic acid (alcohol);
- tincture of iodine;
- medical pencil;
- castor oil (for warts);
- adhesive plaster for removing corns;
- ammonia;
- hydrogen peroxide;
- tea tree essential oil.
It has been proven that for external use on the skin against warts, it is best to use ointment elements. These valuable medicines, even at maximum dosages, have minimal toxicity to the body. Medicines act exclusively in a local way. The growths after such exposure quickly disappear.
One of the most popular and inexpensive remedies for papilloma neoplasms from this group is a pencil. This is a long-known medicine based on silver compounds. This pencil is designed specifically to combat warts and papillomas. The product is extremely easy to use, fast and long lasting.
The pencil is the drug of choice for many patients. It has a pronounced cauterizing, antibacterial and necrotic effect on neoplasms. This is a very concentrated substance, so it should be applied gently without touching nearby healthy tissue. Otherwise, there is a risk of necrotization of healthy skin areas.
Before using the product, it is better to consult a specialist. If used improperly, burns, scarring of the skin may occur. It is better not to use such a remedy on the face, neck, genitals.
Tablet immunostimulants
One of the ways to combat the virus is the appointment of special medications that have a stimulating effect on the patient. Such treatment is most advisable to prescribe in severe cases of the disease with frequent and prolonged relapses. Such symptoms indicate a weakening of the body, depletion of its defenses. Therefore, it becomes necessary to prescribe medications to restore immunity.
The list of drugs for the complex therapy of viral relapse includes immunomodulators. Medicines effectively block the multiplication of the virus, destroying all diseased and damaged cellular elements. They show a pronounced antiviral effect, while significantly strengthening the immune system.
A medication for correcting pathological malfunctions of the immune system is available in tablet form. The course of therapy should not exceed 4 weeks.
The therapy regimen and the dosage of the medication are calculated individually. It all depends on the type of viral agent and the degree of damage. With ordinary papillomas, drug treatment is quite enough. If warts are observed on the skin, in addition to tablets, surgical intervention is indicated.
Homeopathy for HPV
At all times, to combat the signs of viral invasion, they fought with the help of natural ingredients at hand. Such therapy is especially effective in the complex fight against papillomavirus. Tinctures of ginseng, lemongrass or echinacea are in particular demand among patients. A cream based on mummy is considered valuable. Herbal remedies are in great demand, because they act an order of magnitude softer than industrial concentrated acidic or alkaline drugs.
Selection of medicines
To undergo papillomavirus treatment, it is recommended to consult a dermatologist. The therapy regimen depends on the location of the virus. If a number of neoplasms have appeared, for example, in intimate places - examination and consultation with a gynecologist or andrologist. According to experts, self-treatment of viral neoplasms is a great health risk. This is due to the fact that papilloma formations are often malignant.
Due to poorly selected and inadequate therapy, a new relapse of the disease quickly sets in. The correct selection of the medicine will provide:
- elimination of skin defects;
- strengthening of immunity, which is necessary to exclude relapses of the disease.
Human papillomavirus infection is one of the most common pathologies of our time. The causative agent is extremely persistent. It affects mainly mucous structures. To successfully combat the manifestations of pathology, it is extremely important to undergo a comprehensive examination to determine the type of virus. This is the first step towards finding an adequate and complete therapy. Modern techniques and approaches to treatment can only minimize the external signs of infection.
