Papillomas are benign tumors located on the surface of the skin and mucous membranes, with the appearance of a papillary growth located on a thin "foot". This disease is associated with the human papillomavirus. The resulting papillomas can be injured, painful and cause external defects. In this case, normalquestion of their removal Below we will talk about drugs to remove papillomas.
Human papillomavirus is far from being a harmless representative of the viral flora. Not only does it cause the formation of papillomas and warts, but this germ sometimes leads to malignant tumors, especially cervical cancer. In 2019, researchers published a work that revealed that the population has little awareness of the human papillomavirus, its transmission routes, consequences and preventive measures.
Topical drugs
First, let's look at drugs that are specifically designed to remove papillomas. We emphasize that before using them you should consult an expert.
The first drug is a liquid for external use, which contains two components - metacresol and phenol. It must be applied directly to the affected area of the skin or mucous membrane using a special stick, avoiding contact with the adjacent area of the skin. For small papillomas, one application is usually sufficient, for larger ones, repeated applications (3-4 times) may be required at intervals of several minutes.
How does this remedy work? The components contained in the solution lead to coagulation of skin proteins, due to which papillomas disappear.
Another commonly used preparation is a liquid of sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride, and sodium hydroxide. It also has a cauterizing effect, which allows you to remove not only papillomas, but also warts, genital warts, etc.
In addition, a solution containing:
- nitric acid;
- acetic acid;
- lactic acid;
- oxalic acid dihydrate;
- copper nitrate trihydrate.
It belongs to local necrotizing drugs, contributes to the destruction of pathologically changed tissues. This product is also applied directly to the affected area. If necessary, the process is repeated several times.
Systematic treatment
Topical drugs alone are not enough to fight papillomas effectively. To prevent a relapse, general treatment must be carried out, namely taking drugs that have an antiviral and immunosuppressive effect.
An example is inosine acedoben dimepranol. This drug is active against the human papillomavirus, helps to suppress it in the body and has an immunostimulating effect.
We emphasize once again that before using any medicine you should consult a specialist.
