It is necessary to acquire preparations for warts with knowledge of the subject. The best solution is to consult a doctor who will examine your condition with papillomas and prescribe the appropriate drugs. Self-medication can lead to a worsening of the situation and provoke a number of side effects. For the treatment of warts, drug exposure is considered by many to be the most appropriate. Therefore, we will consider some drugs and help you choose drugs for warts.
Forms of drug release
With warts, most people prefer to treat them with the help of pharmaceuticals. However, one should not exclude the possibility of using traditional medicine.
Indeed, in terms of the effectiveness of the impact on the wart, traditional medicine is able to demonstrate results no worse than various pharmaceutical products. Traditional medicine removes the wart gradually and safely. But for many, it is the duration of treatment that becomes the main reason for abandoning traditional medicine in favor of drug treatment.
Going to the pharmacy kiosk to buy medicines, be aware that there are several forms for releasing medicines. Which medicine you will use largely depends on the doctor's conclusions and your financial capabilities.
There are the following forms of release of pharmaceuticals for the treatment of papillomas and warts:
- Solutions for papillomas and warts. Most often these are cauterizing, keratolic or mummifying drugs that have a devastating effect on the papilloma body. They must be applied carefully, without affecting healthy skin. Some over-the-counter wart solutions are either prescription-only or require professional application. That is, they are not used at home, but only a doctor applies the medicine.
- Ointment and cream. They have a fatty base, which allows the active substances to be gradually absorbed into the skin. They are in second place in popularity among pharmaceutical remedies for papillomas and warts after solutions. The objective disadvantage of creams and ointments is that after their application, the skin dries out for a long time and absorbs fat, which can leave marks on clothes.
- Pills. With warts, doctors often prescribe a complex treatment. The main place here is occupied by antiviral drugs and immunomodulators. Some of them are sold in pill 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 a fast action due to its composition and absorption capacity. Gels are not used so often, as their scope in the fight against papillomas is negligible. But it has certain advantages over ointment or cream.
- Oil. Despite the oily consistency, these drugs can be characterized by an aggressive effect. These do not include essential oils, which are often used to treat and remove papillomas.
- Freezing spray. The freezer is becoming more and more popular. These funds replace a trip to the clinic for cryodestruction. Home freezing with liquid nitrogen does not require special skills. It is only necessary to strictly follow the manufacturer's instructions for use.
- Plasters from warts and papillomas. Their advantage is that they perform two functions at the same time. Patch impregnation 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.
- Pencil. Designed for spot application to wart-affected areas of the skin. Pencils are easy to use but potentially harmful to healthy skin. Therefore, it is not recommended to apply the drug with a pencil to the skin close to the papilloma.
folk remedies
It is immediately worth noting that the treatment of warts in children without experience or proper knowledge at home is not recommended. If your child has warts, take him to the doctor first.
Children's bodies are able to quickly adapt and resist the papillomavirus in a natural way. That is, in many cases, warts do not need to be treated. They self-absorb within 1-2 years of appearance.
If the doctor deems it necessary, he will prescribe antivirals for the child, topical 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, as an adult, find papillomas, then you should not count on their self-resorption. First, try medical treatment for warts, and if it does not help, then you should resort to removal.
How can warts be removed? We offer a list of some drugs that are popular and effectively affect the problem of papillomavirus. But the use of any of them requires prior consultation with specialists.
- A solution with a cauterizing effect, distinguished by an oily base and a rather pungent odor. But an unpleasant odor can be tolerated, as the drug is highly effective and can eliminate small papillomas literally in one application. 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. It is a substance that our body produces to fight pests, including the papillomavirus. By increasing the level of concentration of the protective protein interferon, it is possible to get rid of papillomas in a very short period of time. In addition, the product is safe for healthy skin. The course of treatment is prescribed individually, but it should not exceed 30 days.
- The most popular, effective and therefore popular pills from warts. The drug helps to increase the body's protective functions and restore the immune system. The course lasts 2 weeks, after which it is necessary to take a break for a month and repeat the course again to consolidate the result.
- Phytotherapy for papillomas, presented in the form of a gel. Its application allows us to improve the production of our body's natural protein interferon. Due to this, the warts disappear within a week. The course of treatment lasts up to 10 days. The skin should be treated no more than 5 times during the day. The gel is characterized by its composition, which allows the active substances to penetrate deep into the skin and directly affect the root of the papilloma.
- Castor oil. A fairly inexpensive drug for papillomas, which shows itself best in the fight against neoplasms on the hands. The oil is rubbed into the skin every day until the growths completely disappear. But the treatment can take about a month.
- Iodine. Another cheap pharmacy 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.
- Freezing pharmaceutical spray, which comes with applicators for product application and detailed instructions for use. Contraindicated in children under 4 years of age.
In no case should you self-medicate papillomas and warts. Consult a doctor who will give specific and optimal recommendations on the choice of pharmaceutical preparations and drugs.
