The treatment of warts and papillomas with medication is a modern therapeutic technique. Thanks to the latest advances in science and medicine, pharmacies have a large quantity of all types of products to deal with problematic areas and to combat these neoplasms.
Brief information about papillomas
It is important to understand that human papillomavirus (HPV) is a serious and difficult-to-treat infection. Each type of drug against this virus has its own characteristics of use and effect. It is important to approach the problem correctly, taking into account the characteristics of the pathogen.
The elements of papilloma are superficial neoplasms that look more like blemishes. Almost all of them have short legs, with which they stick to the surface. Externally, such elements do not look aesthetically pleasing, which makes them embarrassing and inconvenient.
Neoplasms have a very different shape: flat, pointed, filamentous, mosaic. The color of the formation is distinct from the skin itself: it can be slightly lighter or darker. These growths are due to the 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 spots, warts. All of the body's internal structures are also under attack. It has been proven that in an infectious lesion, distinct formations are revealed in the mucous elements of the stomach, urea and cervix.
Characteristics of drug therapy
Preparations for removing papillomas are often used. The main therapy for this disease is surgical removal of neoplasms. In this way, viral elements from the surface of the face, neck, arms and legs are removed. This is a radical method of getting rid of warts, which is not always advisable. A gentler technique is the use of medications for viral neoplasms. It is proven that the correct, adequate and full use of medications brings 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 your activity. Modern drugs for removing papillomas make it possible 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 medications to use, the doctor decides after examining the patient. Complex therapy with the correct intensity will quickly restore immunity. Papilloma medications differ according to different criteria. In addition to the composition of the active substance and the manufacturer's company, the pricing policy differs. In practice, there are mainly 2 main groups of anti-papilloma drugs in demand. They are fundamentally different in the mechanism of action on the pathogen. They are local and systemic medications that can be found in all pharmacies.
Local external exposure agents are applied directly to the affected areas: growth elements. Because of this, all altered structures quickly die, dry up and fall by themselves. Systemic drugs, which include pills and capsules, have a depressive effect on the pathogen itself from within. That's why it's best to apply comprehensive measures to fight the disease: this is the only way to reliably stop the virus's activity.
Simple, affordable medications are especially popular, including:
- salicylic acid (alcohol);
- tincture of iodine;
- medical pencil;
- castor oil (for warts);
- Adhesive plaster to remove calluses;
- ammonia;
- hydrogen peroxide;
- essential oil from the tea tree.
It has been proven that for external use on the skin against warts, it is better to use ointment elements. These valuable drugs, even at maximum dosages, have minimal toxicity to the body. The drugs act exclusively locally. The growths after this exposure quickly disappear.
One of the most popular and inexpensive remedies for papilloma neoplasms in this group is a pencil. We are talking about a known drug based on silver compounds. This pencil is specifically designed to combat warts and papillomas. The product is extremely easy to use, fast and durable.
Pencil is the drug of choice 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 nearby healthy tissue. Otherwise, there is a risk of necrotizing healthy areas of the skin.
Before using the product, it is best to consult an expert. If used incorrectly, burns and scarring can occur. It is better not to use such a remedy on the face, neck, genitals.
Immunostimulants for pills
One of the ways to fight the virus is the indication of special medications that have a stimulating effect on the patient. It is more advisable to prescribe this treatment for serious illnesses with frequent and prolonged relapses. These 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 the complex therapy of viral relapse includes immunomodulators. The drugs effectively block the virus from multiplying, destroying all diseased and damaged cellular elements. They show a pronounced antiviral effect, while significantly strengthening the immune system.
A drug to correct pathological immune system dysfunctions is available in pill form. The course of therapy should not exceed 4 weeks.
The therapy regimen and drug dosage are calculated individually. It all depends on the type of viral agent and the degree of damage. With common papillomas, drug treatment is sufficient. If warts are observed on the skin, in addition to the pills, surgical intervention is indicated.
Homeopathy for HPV
At all times, to combat the signs of viral invasion, they struggled with the help of natural ingredients at hand. This therapy is especially effective in the complex fight against the papillomavirus. Ginseng, lemongrass or echinacea tinctures are especially requested by patients. A mummy-based cream is considered valuable. Herbal remedies are in high demand because they act an order of magnitude milder than industrial concentrated acidic or alkaline drugs.
Selection of medications
To undergo papillomavirus treatment, it is recommended to consult a dermatologist. The therapy regimen depends on the location of the virus. If several neoplasms have arisen, 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 papilloma formations are often malignant.
Due to poorly selected and inadequate therapy, a new relapse of the disease quickly sets in. The correct selection of the drug will provide:
- elimination of skin defects;
- strengthening of immunity, necessary to exclude relapses 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 structures. To successfully combat the manifestations of the pathology, it is extremely important to undergo a comprehensive examination to determine the type of virus. This is the first step in finding a suitable and complete therapy. Modern treatment techniques and approaches can only minimize outward signs of infection.
