Papilloma ointment is often used to combat skin growth. The effectiveness of this agent depends on the composition, the nature of the effect and the degree of infection. Papillomas on the body and mucous membranes appear when the papillomavirus enters the body.

Ways to remove papillomas
Papillomas are benign neoplasms on the skin. In very rare cases the papilloma can degenerate into a malignant tumor. If the papilloma does not cause discomfort (physical or emotional), you cannot remove it.
However, if the neoplasm causes pain, e. g. B. When rubbing against clothing, it must be treated. It is best to consult an experienced doctor about the possibility and choice of a method of treating papillomas. Often times, experts recommend removing the papilloma using one of the following methods:

Many people use folk remedies in the fight against papillomas. Before using traditional methods, it is necessary to consult a doctor. Some products cannot be used on the face, while others may cause individual side effects.
