The reason appeared
Warts are caused by infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV).This happens during sexual intercourse, the child passes through the genital tract of the infected mother during childbirth.
The disease can be transmitted within families.The virus is resistant to adverse environmental factors and can survive on wipes, towels and clothes of infected people.When other people use such items, microorganisms can easily enter even if the skin is slightly damaged.
Sometimes autoinfection occurs when virus particles are transferred from one area of the body to another (eg, when shaving, waxing).
Papillomavirus has more than 100 strains (types), a person can be infected with many strains at the same time.
The location, appearance of warts and the possibility of developing a malignant process depend on the type of virus.
The virus can persist without symptoms in the body after infection for up to several years.Papillomas on the skin and mucous membranes begin to develop against the background of:
- reduced immune defense;
- vitamin deficiency;
- exacerbation of chronic diseases;
- psycho-emotional stress;
- Hormonal changes (eg, during menopause, during pregnancy);
- Poor nutrition, including excessive consumption of carbohydrates, fats, and fried foods.

When warts appear, sometimes a paste consisting of crushed garlic, flour or cream is applied to them for 3 hours.The product is washed off with water and the skin is washed with soap.
To make dandelion tincture, the flowers of the plant are poured into a jar, filled with alcohol and waited for 14 days.
Apply dandelion product to the growth area 4-6 times a day.
Castor oil can be applied to the surface of the papilloma twice a day.After lubricating the warts, they will be covered with a bandage.The operation is carried out in 3-6 days.
To treat papillomas in both men and women, a decoction of horsetail, nettle, lemon balm, dandelion root and banana leaves is used.Mix the dry plants in equal parts, take three full spoons of the mixture and brew with a liter of boiling water.The medicine is taken before each meal for 10 days.
Non-botanical folk methods
Some people use a cotton swab soaked in ammonia on the affected area.
A mixture of 2.5 grams of salicylic ester of acetic acid, the same amount of iodine, 2 grams of boric acid, 100 ml of alcohol is also prepared.The composition is applied 2-3 times a day to warts.
Treat warts and papillomas with home remedies
The medicine can be prescribed by a doctor after conducting a test and confirming that a person is infected with the virus.Drug treatment helps increase immunity and reduce viral activity in the body.The action of some pharmaceutical products is aimed at eliminating skin formations.
Antiviral drugs, immunomodulators
To combat the HPV virus, doctors prescribe tablets, capsules and injections that prevent the growth of microorganisms in tissues.At home use:
- Specific antiviral drugs.
- Inductor(stimulator) of interferon synthesis.
- The product contains interferon.
- Non-specific immunomodulators.
If human papillomavirus is detected in a woman and warts are present, vaginal suppositories will be used.
Local medications can be used to remove papillomas
Treatment with these measures at home is carried out only after examination by a doctor who has excluded a malignant process in the wart area.
The drug must not come into contact with healthy skin or mucous membranes;otherwise, burns and scarring may occur.
The medicine causes burns when applied to papillomas in the neck and other parts of the bodynecrosis(death) of cells due to the presence of active chemical components.They are used to lubricate warts with a special tool, a thin wooden stick;The frequency of manipulation depends on the scale of the growth.
Antiseptics containing silver nitrate cause tissue necrosis when applied topically.It is used on many different parts of the body, except the face and mucous membranes.It should be noted that it does not eliminate, for example, the cause of underarm papillomas, and treatment with it is aimed at eliminating the external manifestations of the pathology.
When flat, common warts are present, including on the fingers and feet, a product containing propane and dimethyl ether, in a metal bottle, is used.
Liquefied gas when leaving the cylinder creates a temperature of -57°C;when they are applied locally to the skin, the tissues freeze.
The product package contains 12 disposable plastic utensils with holders.The latter reliably limits affected areas from healthy tissue.During the procedure, a burning and tingling sensation often occurs.After 10-14 days, the frozen tissue will disappear.If one procedure is not enough, the operation is repeated.
Do not use the drug if the tumor is located in areas with thin skin (genitals, eyelids, chest area).Papillomas in the neck should also not be removed independently using this method.
Treatment of papillomas with hardware methods
Your doctor may recommend treating warts and warts at specialist clinics.After this use the following methods:
- cold destruction;
- chemical coagulation;
- electrocoagulation;
- radio wave therapy;
- laser therapy;
- plasma coagulation.
Cold destruction- freeze tissue with liquid nitrogen.The latter is applied to a special applicator, which is applied to papillomas.After a while, the tumor darkens and disappears.When using this method, controlling the depth of impact on the wart is extremely difficult;A repeat procedure may be required.Sometimes scars remain after cold destruction.
Chemical coagulation is carried out with preparations containing concentrated acids.The latter causes necrosis of treated tissues.This solution is used to remove common and plantar warts and genital warts.
Electrocoagulation—exposure of tissues to high frequency electric current, leading to irreversible coagulation of proteins therein.This is a traditional technique to remove tumors on the body;The risk of infection and bleeding is extremely low.
Radiofrequency therapy uses a special device.The impact on unaffected areas is minimal, the possibility of bleeding is minimal.In women, treatment in this way is carried out if warts are present.
Using the device, the electrical current is converted into radio waves that cut through soft tissue in various parts of the body.
During laser treatment, the tumor will evaporate under the influence of the laser beam.This method is used to treat papillomas on any part of the body, including the presence of papillomas in the male genital organs.There is no bleeding after the procedure, the laser beam destroys microorganisms in the applied area, and the treated area is free of infection.
Scarring after laser treatment is extremely rare.
If a woman is diagnosed with ductal papilloma, which is a precancerous condition, surgical treatment will be performed.A partial mastectomy is performed—removing a portion of the breast with altered milk ducts.
When treating papillomas at home, traditional methods and medications are used.In specialized clinics, the tumor is removed using the hardware method.Before treating warts, you must consult your doctor and undergo the examination recommended by him.
