The effect of ointments from papillomas
Most of the known and popular ointments for papillomas have a local effect, and the active substances that are included in their composition do not penetrate the systemic circulation.

Each ointment for the treatment of papilloma has a unique composition, and you should carefully choose the right remedy. One ointment can combine all properties, while the other can be trend-setting.

Before using ointments from plantar or dry papillomas, it is necessary to steam the affected area of the skin and dry it with a clean soft towel, only then smear it with the selected product.

But an effective result can be obtained if the virus is not active enough.
Modern pharmacies offer a huge selection of ointments for papillomas, but there are several popular remedies.
