Tumors on the body, similar to mild warts or stitches on the legs, appearing out of nowhere and often disappearing without any treatment, are papillomas.
The causative agent of the disease - the human papillomavirus (from English - Human Papillomavirus) - enters the body from the outside, it is uncommonly common: up to 80% of the world's population carries it!
This high percentage is due to the fact that the infection occurs through tactile contact, making it almost impossible to contain the virus transmission.
Not every patient cares about the disease and goes to the doctor, which is why the removal of papillomas at home is always important.
The nature of papillomavirus
The insidious virus can be located anywhere: in the neck, armpits, under the breasts, in the eyelids, abdomen and genitals. In most cases it is a benign formation. If a virus invades cell chromosomes and integrates into the cell's nucleus, it becomes malignant.
Before starting treatment, you should consult a doctor to find out the nature of the virus and then choose an acceptable method.
who is at risk
The modern person is plagued by chronic stress, illness and bad habits. In such difficult conditions, the immune system fails, the doors open to various infections, and the papilloma virus is ready to attack. The main prerequisites for increasing virus activity:
- severe stress;
- pregnancy;
- serious illness;
- long-term use of medications;
- advanced age;
- avitaminosis;
- bad habits: smoking, alcohol;
- high unprotected sexual activity.
If at least one of the signs is present, it is likely that there is an exacerbation of the papillomavirus and the appearance of unexpected skin growths.
Infection routes
Anyone can get the virus. But there are factors where infection is almost inevitable:
- transmission of the virus from the mother to the newborn;
- unprotected sexual contact with a carrier;
- tactile contact with the patient;
- when sharing appliances;
- visiting the pool;
- virus penetration through skin wounds.
A papillomavirus carrier can live in peace for years and not suspect its presence; enlightenment usually occurs when the immune system is weakened. Then the virus, dormant in the basal layer of the epithelium, reaches the surface and takes the form of genital warts or flattened plaques. Living with papillomas is not comfortable and is not aesthetically pleasing.
The most effective treatment is removal. You can't just cut off the legs of the papillomas or try to cut them off, you can cause the tumors to actively grow and reproduce, growing into a malignant form.
At the first sign of infection, consult a dermatologist or try alternative treatments.
homemade recipes
With self-removal, only the superficial part is removed, the nucleus of the papilloma is not affected. To completely destroy the virus, you must undergo treatment with a dermatologist. The most popular at-home methods for removing growths are:
- Celandine. The caustic sap of the plant burns warts, and the same can be done with papilloma. Two methods of treatment are known: tearing off a celandine leaf, smearing the papilloma with the juice that has come out and sealing it with a plaster. Lubricate again once every 2 days, after a while the papilloma will dry out and fall off. The second way: make a "cocktail" of celandine, nose and string. Freeze in ice cube trays and apply to plants three times a day for a few minutes.
- Kalanchoe pinnate is cut lengthwise, applied to papillomas, tied with a bandage and left overnight.
- "Garlic Cream". Chop the garlic and mix the resulting mass with any cream in a ratio of 1: 2. Then apply it to a piece of bandage and secure it to the tumor, gluing it with a plaster. Leave on for 3 hours and then wash with soap and water.
- Healing baths. Pour boiling water over half a bucket of green chestnut leaves and bring to a boil. Insist 12 hours. Prepare a bath with the resulting broth, adding water at a comfortable temperature. Treatment will take 2 weeks at a rate of 7 procedures every other day.
- Onion skin. Mix the dry husks in a jar with vinegar. Tie the jar with parchment or a thick cloth, keep in the dark for 2 weeks. Peel off and dry, tie to papillomas at night. Remove the bandage in the morning and soften the skin with a greasy cream.
- Floral collection: 1 part tricolor violet, 1 part absinthe herb, 3 parts banana, 2 parts clover flowers, St. John's wort, calamus root and dill seeds. Pour boiling water over the collection to make 1 part collection 7 parts boiling water. Insist day, strain, take 1 tbsp. spoon three times a day.
- Dandelion flower colony. Fill a glass bottle with dandelion heads by force. Pour the triple colony in there and let it ferment in the dark for 2 weeks. Transfer to a dark glass bottle and store in a cool, dark place. Lubricate papillomas with infusion 4-5 times a day until they disappear.
Lubricate the papillomas with egg white remaining on the shell walls after dumping the egg. Collect with a bandage and apply to the papilloma.
Superstitions to help
Ancient semi-mystical methods of removing papillomas have survived to this day. The most curious of them:
- Knot the plants with silk thread, tie the thread in knots to a cut potato and hide it where no one will find it. After a while, the potato will rot and the papillomas will disappear!
- Rub the plants with the potato cut in half: first with one half, then with the other. Gather the halves, store them in a dark place and try to forget. The skin will peel off after the potato rots.
- The most romantic way is by moonlight. In the light of the waning moon at the end of the night, rub the papilloma onto the moonlit surface and the tumor will disappear.
These unusual methods of treatment were, at first glance, practiced by healers in the old days, and having a positive effect, they were corrected by repeated repetitions.
Today, papillomavirus carriers have access to a variety of medical methods of treatment with the help of tinctures, decoctions and herbal medicinal juices. When choosing any method, it is recommended to consult a physician.
