Papillomas and warts are benign neoplasms located on the skin or mucous membranes, small in size and round in shape.
The reason for the appearance of these formations is infection by papillomavirus (HPV), which occupies a prominent position in the ranking of the most common diseases on Earth. There are two main HPV transmission routes:
- Contact - home;
- Sexual.
The danger of papillomatosis is the development of the malignancy process (transformation of a benign neoplasm into a cancer tumor).
Infection with oncogenic HPV strains, as well as growth damage, can trigger the malignancy process. Typically, warts grow slowly, but if the body's defenses weaken, a complete immune response is not formed, the process of increasing the size and number of growths can accelerate.
Medical centers and clinics offer radical methods to eliminate external signs of papillomatosis. However, conservative home treatment will be equally 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 drugs for removing skin defects.
Medical care should not be neglected, as improper self-selected treatment can cause malignancy.
Don't try to cut the papilloma. This can cause its spread and degeneration in a cancer tumor. Also, do not attempt to remove growths located on the mucous membranes of the larynx, eyes or genitals at home.
Medication at home
You can eliminate papillomas at home quickly and effectively with the help of special medications.
Cryodestruction
Many medical clinics offer warts removal with refrigerated liquid nitrogen. This is a painless and non-traumatic way of dealing with skin defects.
A similar procedure can be performed at home. Modern pharmacology offers special preparations for domestic free-destruction.
Freeze in steps:
- Clean the skin area with papillomatosis;
- Apply the product punctually with an applicator or cotton swab.
In seven to ten days, the wart tissue necrotizes and dies. The advantage of free destruction is the absence of scarring.
Important!If the tumors are located in places that are difficult to access (in the armpit, under the chest, in the back or at the elbows), it may be inconvenient to perform the procedure alone. In that case, it is worth attracting someone close to you.
Adhesive strips
There are special adhesive tapes impregnated with a compound capable of reducing unwanted neoplasms. It is possible to cure papillomas in this way in 1 day. The strips are glued directly to the lumps, left for three hours. After that, the strip should be moistened in warm water and carefully removed along with the build-up.

To reduce buildup, instructions must be followed carefully. A special solution helps to quickly eliminate even large tumors. The removal of neoplasms with this powerful agent can cause painful sensations. It will take about a week for the skin to fully recover.
Gel
It is considered one of the most effective remedies against cancer. The advantage of the drug is its ease of use and painless: the gel is applied directly on the accumulation and left until its complete absorption.
Popular recipes
Papillomas can be treated according to popular recipes. They were used by our grandmothers at a time when official medicine was not widespread. Its advantage is security. You can use these recipes for mothers who are carrying a baby or breastfeeding.
Important!Traditional recipes for external use should be combined with systemic intake of antiviral drugs. This will help to disable the papillomavirus.
Household immunostimulants
Reduced immunity causes the spread of papillomatosis. Therefore, the disease must be treated comprehensively. A good recipe to strengthen the body's defenses: daily, on an empty stomach, drink a glass of freshly squeezed juice, you can alternate potato juice with tincture of echinacea, rosehips, nettle, lemon balm, banana.
