Papilloma ointment is an effective and safe medicine to remove growths. Prescribed by a doctor after examination, it has a local antiviral effect. If you follow the instructions, you can get positive results quickly.
Effectiveness of using ointment
It is not worth expecting that warts will go away on their own. They are caused by the papilloma virus and require treatment. Scientists have not invented a single cure for this disease, but they have provided many effective antiviral drugs to stop the spread of this disease.
The role of creams and gels is to destroy accumulation and increase immunity. A healthy body is more resistant to disease. When infected, it will not allow cells to divide uncontrollably, and the disease will disappear without symptoms that violate the aesthetic appearance of the skin.
The ointment to remove warts and papillomas is a popular way to treat growth. Unlike other methods, it does not irritate the skin and does not cause scars. This product is suitable for body, face, mucous membrane, skin around eyes and mouth, tongue, chest area, groin. In pharmacies, different types of ointments and gels are provided. The list of ingredients and the principle of action are different, but almost all of them are composed of water, active substances and natural oils. These preparations contain proven hypoallergenic ingredients and are even suitable for the treatment of infants.
Topical HPV drug form
In the treatment of human papillomavirus infection, three forms of drugs are used, each of which has its characteristics and scope. The papilloma cream should not be replaced with an analogue (in the form of a gel or ointment) without a doctor’s notice. The concentration of the active substance in the form is completely different, you can over-treat or not wait for the effect. In the fight against papilloma, this external form of medicine helps:
- Gel-It is characterized by a soft water-based consistency without fat or oil. It penetrates quickly into the skin, rarely causes allergic reactions, and does not contain preservatives and allergens. For sensitive areas of mucous membranes and skin;
- Ointment-contains an increased amount of fat and is characterized by the deep penetration and concentration of active substances. Recommended for rough, dry skin areas. Do not use it on tearing wounds with infiltration;
- Cream-Contains water and vegetable oil, the ratio is 80% oil and 20% water. Multi-component creams affect the problem in complex ways. It absorbs faster than ointments and does not leave marks on clothes. Suitable for delicate and rough skin.
The difference between the pharmacological forms is the duration of storage. After opening, the ointment has an effect of 6 months. The duration of using the cream is 3 months, and the papilloma gel will deteriorate within 1 month.
Ointments and creams for papilloma
Cautery for papilloma does not always give the expected results. Laser and cryodamage can affect a kind of tumor. If a person has papillomatosis, it is difficult for the warts to disappear completely. The affected area can be treated with cream or gel, but the dermatologist must choose it, taking into account the individual characteristics of the body.
You can use medicines containing zinc, castor oil, and celandine to remove papilloma.
To choose an effective drug, the doctor will consider the location and type of papilloma, whether there is inflammation in the growth area, and other signs: itching, burning, bleeding, and pain.
On the Internet, there is a view that pastes containing sulfuric acid and zinc solutions are helpful for treatment. Don't listen to the opinions of pseudo-medical experts. Applying corrosive ingredients to the skin can cause its damage, and the wound formed at the burn site will leave a scar, which is more difficult to remove than papilloma.
How to make an ointment
Antiviral ointments for papilloma can be prepared at home. Products based on propolis have proven themselves. Mix 300 grams of propolis with 50 grams of lard. The substance persists in the refrigerator and is applied to the affected area. Propolis positively affects tumors, and fat prevents irritation. The results will appear soon, and the deposits will dry up after two weeks.
A popular wart and papilloma ointment formula is very popular, which uses garlic as a base. The product is made from garlic porridge, vinegar, and wheat flour. It turns out that the mixture is so thick that it can even be used as a dressing. Garlic can burn off excess warts, vinegar enters the interior to eliminate viruses, and wheat flour can soothe the skin and accelerate wound healing.
Horseradish is an antiviral agent, and its rice porridge is mixed with salt and honey. The treatment was carried out for 6 days, and the ointment was used twice a day. The most important thing is not to use folk remedies in private places, otherwise there is a possibility of burns. The skin in these areas is very tender, you risk inflammation, and there are other symptoms besides growth.
Instructions for use of topical preparations
Whether you are treating flat or pointed papilloma, you must be cautious when choosing drugs. Doctor's observation is the main condition of any treatment; do not use drugs prescribed by acquaintances with similar problems. Each drug has indications and contraindications, please read carefully. If you develop a rash or dizziness after using this product, please tell your dermatologist immediately. He will correct the way he uses it or change the medicine.
It takes time for the wound to heal after removing the papilloma. In addition to antiviral drugs, don't forget to use antiseptics to avoid re-infection in the future.
Do not choose your own medicines, each substance should be agreed with your doctor. Some ingredients will react with each other. Without pharmacological skills, there is a risk of causing allergies and complicating the work of a dermatologist.
If the papilloma appears on the heel, knee or rough skin area before applying the cream, it is recommended to steam it first so that the product can be absorbed better. In the case of delicate areas (neck, head of penis, female genital area, armpits and eyelids), lubricate the skin with a nourishing cream before applying corrosive substances.
Contraindications
In addition to having a positive effect on the body, drugs used to treat papilloma can also make a cruel joke with consumers. If a person ignores the drug’s list of contraindications or uses it after the expiry date, it will show side effects, that is, the adverse consequences of admission. Patients with diabetes, renal failure, psoriasis, autoimmune diseases, and allergic skin diseases should be treated with topical medications. When making face cream at home, be sure to check whether you are allergic to the ingredients that make up the medicine.
To achieve results, please follow the instructions, do not increase the dose yourself, and do not combine products. Remember that papilloma is caused by HPV, and you need to treat the virus and improve your immunity. Then recurrence will be rare.
