Papillomas and warts are benign neoplasms on the skin or mucous membranes, small and round.
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 ways HPV is transmitted:
- Contact - Household;
- Sexually.
The danger of papillomatosis is the development of the malignancy process (transformation of a benign neoplasm into an oncological tumor).
An infection with oncogenic HPV strains as well as damage to the growth can provoke the malignancy process. Usually wart growths grow slowly, but when the body's defenses weaken, a full-fledged immune response is not formed, and the process of increasing the size and number of the growths may accelerate.
Medical centers and clinics offer radical methods to eliminate external signs of papillomatosis. However, conservative home treatment will be just as effective.
Important!Before starting self-treatment for 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 to remove skin defects.
Medical care should not be neglected, as improper self-chosen treatment can lead to malignancy.
Do not try to cut the papilloma. This can provoke their spread and degeneration into an oncological tumor. Also, do not try to remove the growths on the lining of the larynx, eyes, or genitals at home.
Medicines at home
