Treatment of warts and papillomas with medication is a modern therapeutic technique. Thanks to recent advances in science and medicine, pharmacies have a huge amount of all kinds of products for the care of problem areas and for the control of such neoplasms.
Brief information on papillomas
It is important to understand that human papillomavirus (HPV) is a serious infection that is difficult to treat. Each type of medicine against this virus has its own characteristics of use and effect. It is important to approach the problem correctly, taking into account the properties of the pathogen.
Papilloma elements are superficial neoplasms that more closely resemble moles. Almost all have short legs with which they are attached to the surface. Externally, such elements do not look aesthetically pleasing, making them embarrassing and inconvenient.
Neoplasms have a very different shape: flat, pointed, filamentous, mosaic. The color of the build-up is characteristic of the skin itself: it may be a little lighter or darker. These growths are due to an increase in the number of elements in the upper layer of the epidermis in a specific area of the body.
The infection is secret for a long time. The patient has only one complaint - the appearance of characteristic moles, warts. All internal structures in the body are also under attack. It has been proven that with an infectious lesion, various formations are revealed on the mucous elements in the stomach, urea and cervix.
Properties of drug therapy
Preparations for papilloma removal are often used. The main therapy for this disorder is surgical removal of neoplasms. In this way, viral elements are removed on the surface of the face, neck, arms and legs. This is a radical method of getting rid of warts, which is not always advisable. A more gentle technique is the use of drugs for viral neoplasms. It has been proven that correct, adequate and full use of drugs gives good results.
It is important to know and understand: there is no panacea for the virus. After infection, the pathogen remains in the body forever. The only thing that can be done is to control its activity. Modern drugs for the removal of papillomas allow you to stop the spread of the pathogen and minimize the external manifestations of the disease.
If a papilloma is detected, how to treat and what drugs to use, the doctor decides after examining the patient. Complex therapy with the correct intensity will quickly restore immunity. Medicines for papillomas differ according to different criteria. In addition to the composition of the active substance and the manufacturer's company, they differ in their pricing policy. In practice, there are mainly 2 main groups of antipapillary drugs that are in demand. They are fundamentally different in the mechanism of action of the pathogen. These are topical and systemic drugs available at any pharmacy.
Local agents for external exposure are applied directly to the affected areas: elements of growth. Because of this, all altered structures die quickly, dry out and fall by themselves. Systemic drugs, which include tablets and capsules, have a depressant effect on the pathogen itself from within. Therefore, it is best to apply comprehensive measures to control the disease: this is the only way to reliably stop the activity of the virus.
Simple and affordable drugs are especially popular, which include:
- salicylic acid (alcohol);
- tincture of iodine;
- medical pencil;
- castor oil (for warts);
- adhesive plaster for removing corns;
- ammonia;
- hydrogen peroxide;
- tea tree essential oil.
It has been proven that for external use on the skin against warts it is best to use ointment elements. These valuable drugs, even at maximum doses, have minimal toxicity to the body. Drugs work exclusively in a local way. The growths after such exposure disappear quickly.
One of the most popular and inexpensive remedies for papilloma neoplasms from this group is a pencil. We are talking about a long known medicine based on silver compounds. This pencil is specially designed to fight warts and papillomas. The product is extremely easy to use, fast and long lasting.
The pencil is the preferred drug for many patients. It has a pronounced cauterizing, antibacterial and necrotic effect on neoplasms. This is a very concentrated substance, so it should be applied gently without touching healthy tissue nearby. Otherwise there is a risk of necrotization of healthy skin areas.
Before using the product, it is better to consult a specialist. If used incorrectly, burns, scarring of the skin may occur. It is better not to use such a remedy on face, neck, genitals.
Immunostimulatory tablets
One of the ways to fight the virus is the appointment of special drugs that have a stimulating effect on the patient. Such treatment is most advisable to prescribe in case of serious illness with frequent and prolonged relapses. Such symptoms indicate a weakening of the body, depletion of its defenses. Therefore, it becomes necessary to prescribe medication to restore immunity.
The list of drugs for complex therapy of viral relapse includes immune modulators. Medicines effectively block the multiplication of the virus and destroy all diseased and damaged cellular elements. They show a pronounced antiviral effect, while significantly strengthening the immune system.
Medicines to remedy pathological malfunctions in the immune system are available in tablet form. The course of treatment should not exceed 4 weeks.
The treatment regimen and the dosage of the medicine are calculated individually. It all depends on the type of viral agent and the degree of damage. With common papillomas, medication is quite enough. If warts are observed on the skin, in addition to tablets, surgery is indicated.
Homeopathy for HPV
At all times, they fought using natural ingredients to combat signs of viral invasion. Such therapy is particularly effective in the complex fight against papillomavirus. Tinctures of ginseng, lemongrass or echinacea are especially in demand among patients. A cream based on mummy is considered valuable. Herbal remedies are in high demand because they appear to be an order of magnitude softer than industrial concentrated acidic or alkaline drugs.
Selection of medicines
To undergo papillomavirus treatment, it is recommended to consult a dermatologist. The therapy regimen depends on the location of the virus. If a number of neoplasms are shown, for example in intimate places - examination and consultation with a gynecologist or andrologist. According to experts, self-treatment of viral neoplasms is a major health risk. This is because papillary transformations are often malignant.
Due to poorly selected and inadequate therapy, a new relapse of the disease sets in quickly. The correct choice of medicine gives:
- removal of skin defects;
- strengthening immunity, which is necessary to rule out relapse of the disease.
Human papillomavirus infection is one of the most common pathologies of our time. The causative agent is extremely persistent. It mainly affects mucous membranes. In order to successfully combat manifestations of pathology, it is extremely important to undergo a comprehensive examination to determine the type of virus. This is the first step towards finding a suitable and complete therapy. Modern techniques and methods of treatment can only minimize the external signs of infection.
