The treatment of warts and papillomas with drugs is a modern therapy technique. Thanks to the latest advances in science and medicine, pharmacies have a huge amount of products of all kinds for caring for problem areas and combating such neoplasms.
Brief information on papillomas
It's important to understand that human papillomavirus (HPV) is a serious infection that is difficult to treat. Each type of drug against this virus has its own characteristics of use and effects. It is important to properly approach the problem, taking into account the characteristics of the pathogen.
Papilloma elements are superficial neoplasms that look more like birthmarks. Almost all of them have short legs that attach them to the surface. Outwardly, such elements do not look aesthetically pleasing, which makes them embarrassing and uncomfortable.
Neoplasms have a completely different shape: flat, pointed, filamentous, mosaic-like. The color of the structure is different from the skin itself: it can be a little lighter or darker. These growths are due to an increase in the number of elements in the top layer of the epidermis in a specific area of the body.
The infection has been secret for a long time. The patient has only one complaint - the appearance of characteristic birthmarks, warts. All internal structures of the body are also attacked. It has been proven that with an infectious lesion, distinct formations become visible on the mucous elements of the stomach, urea and cervix.
Features of drug therapy
Often, preparations are used to remove papillomas. The main therapy for this disease is surgical removal of neoplasms. This will remove viral elements on the surface of the face, neck, arms and legs. This is a radical method of getting rid of warts that is not always advisable. A gentler technique is to use drugs against viral neoplasms. Proper, adequate, and complete intake of medication has been proven to produce good results.
Important to know and understand: There is no panacea for the virus. After an infection, the pathogen remains in the body forever. The only thing that can be done is to control its activity. Modern drugs for removing papillomas allow you to stop the spread of the pathogen and minimize the external manifestations of the disease.
If a papilloma is discovered, how to treat it and what drugs to use, the doctor will decide after examining the patient. Complex therapy of the right intensity quickly restores immunity. Medicines for papillomas differ according to various criteria. In addition to the composition of the active ingredient and the manufacturer, they differ in their pricing policy. In practice, there are mainly 2 main groups of antipapilloma drugs that are in demand. They differ fundamentally in the mechanism of action on the pathogen. These are local and systemic medicines that can be found in any pharmacy.
Local means of external exposure are applied directly to the affected areas: elements of growths. As a result, all changed structures quickly die, dry out and fall off by themselves. Systemic drugs, which include tablets and capsules, have a dampening effect on the pathogen itself. This is why it is best to take comprehensive measures to combat the disease: this is the only way to reliably stop the virus' activity.
Simple and affordable drugs are particularly popular, including:
- Salicylic acid (alcohol);
- Iodine tincture;
- medical pencil;
- Castor oil (for warts);
- Adhesive plasters for removing corns;
- Ammonia;
- Hydrogen peroxide;
- tea tree essential oil.
It has been proven that for external use on the skin against warts, it is best to use ointment elements. These valuable drugs have minimal toxicity to the body even at the maximum dosage. Medicines only work locally. The growths quickly disappear after such exposure.
One of the most popular and inexpensive remedies for papilloma neoplasms from this group is a pencil. We are talking about a drug based on silver compounds that has been known for a long time. This pencil is specially designed to fight warts and papillomas. The product is extremely easy to use, fast and durable.
The pencil is the tool of choice for many patients. It has pronounced cauterizing, antibacterial and necrotic effects on neoplasms. This is a very concentrated substance, so it should be applied gently without touching any nearby healthy tissue. Otherwise there is a risk of necrotizing healthy skin areas.
Before using the product, it is better to consult a specialist. Improper use can cause burns and scarring of the skin. It is better not to use such a remedy on the face, neck and genitals.
Immunostimulants in tablet form
One of the ways to fight the virus is the appointment of special drugs that have a stimulating effect on the patient. Such treatment is best prescribed for severe illness with frequent and persistent relapses. Such symptoms indicate a weakening of the body and exhaustion of its defenses. Therefore, it becomes necessary to prescribe drugs to restore immunity.
The list of drugs for complex therapy of viral recurrence includes immunomodulators. Medicines effectively block the virus from multiplying and destroy all diseased and damaged cell elements. They show a pronounced antiviral effect and at the same time significantly strengthen the immune system.
A drug to correct pathological malfunctions of the immune system is available in tablet form. The course of therapy should not exceed 4 weeks.
The therapeutic regimen and the dosage of drugs are calculated individually. It all depends on the type of viral pathogen and the degree of damage. With ordinary papillomas, drug treatment is enough. If warts are observed on the skin next to tablets, surgical intervention is indicated.
Homeopathy for HPV
To fight the signs of viral invasion, they fought at all times with the help of natural ingredients. Such therapy is particularly effective in the complex fight against papillomaviruses. Tinctures made from ginseng, lemongrass or echinacea are particularly popular with patients. A mummy-based cream is considered valuable. Herbal remedies are in great demand because they are an order of magnitude softer than industrial concentrated acidic or alkaline drugs.
Choice of drugs
To undergo papillomavirus treatment, it is recommended to consult a dermatologist. The therapy regimen depends on the location of the virus. For example, if a number of neoplasms have appeared 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.
Badly chosen and inadequate therapy quickly sets in a new relapse of the disease. The correct choice of drug provides:
- Elimination of skin defects;
- Strengthening immunity, which is necessary to exclude relapses of the disease.
Human papillomavirus infection is one of the most common pathologies of our time. The pathogen is extremely persistent. It mainly affects mucous structures. In order to successfully fight the manifestations of the pathology, it is extremely important to undergo a comprehensive examination to determine the nature of the virus. This is the first step in finding adequate and complete therapy. Modern techniques and treatment approaches can only minimize the outward signs of infection.
