Warts are unaesthetic structures that have formed on the surface of the skin from the dead layers of the epidermis. Their appearance is due to the action of HPV, which is activated with decreasing immunity, in stressful situations and under the influence of other factors. To choose the most effective remedy for warts, it is necessary to study their varieties.
The considered neoplasms are divided into several types:
- vulgar / common;
- flat / youthful;
- plantar;
- senile;
- Genital warts.
Warts that appear on the body after an HPV infection can go away on their own, as a viral disease is often cured when the body's defenses are restored. With a chronic course of the disease, accompanied by the formation of unsightly tubercles, various drugs are used to get rid of them.
In addition to the orally taken remedies for warts, the patient should regularly treat the growths with special ointments, creams and solutions.
Of the homeopathic remedies for the treatment of warts, tonic based on Schisandra chinensis, Leuzea, Echinacea, Ginseng, Aralia, Eleutherococcus are used.
The best drugs for warts and papillomas
Antiviral drugs for a wide range of uses are often used to remove warts. They are prescribed for therapeutic and prophylactic purposes from HPV and other diseases of a similar nature.
Gel treatment is not stressful - it is carefully applied to neoplasms, without smearing and rubbing. On average, such a fight against genital warts lasts 5 days. If the tubercles have not completely disappeared within the specified time, treatment is continued up to 10 days.
A few days after starting the treatment, the growths fall off by themselves (the warts do not need to be "helped"). In the case of several formations, it is not recommended to process them at the same time. In this case, the treatment should be carried out at intervals of several weeks.
One safe drug that is approved for independent use is a specialty freezing agent. The drug instantly freezes the wart and completely removes it within 10 days. However, in children under 4 years of age, the treatment of growths is not carried out.
