Papillomas and warts are benign neoplasms located on the skin or mucous membranes, small in size, and round in shape.
The reason for the appearance of such formations is infection with the papillomavirus (HPV), which occupies a leading position in the ranking of the most common diseases on Earth. There are two main routes of transmission of HPV:
- Contact - household;
- Sexual.
The danger of papillomatosis is the development of the process of malignancy (transformation of a benign neoplasm into an oncological tumor).
Infection with oncogenic HPV strains, as well as injury to the growth, can provoke the process of malignancy. Usually, wart growths grow slowly, but if the body's defenses weaken, a full-fledged immune response is not formed, the process of increasing the size and number of growths can accelerate.
Medical centers and clinics offer radical methods of getting rid of external signs of papillomatosis. However, conservative home treatment will be just as effective.
Important!Before starting self-treatment of papillomatosis, you should consult a dermatologist.
The doctor will conduct the necessary clinical studies, make the correct diagnosis, clarify the HPV strain of the pathogen and recommend the most effective drugs for removing skin defects.
Medical care should not be neglected, as improper self-selected treatment can cause the development of malignancy.
Don't try to cut the papilloma. This can provoke their spread and degeneration into an oncological tumor. Also, do not try to remove the growths located on the mucous membranes of the larynx, eyes or genitals at home.
Medication at home
