Papillomas are benign neoplasms localized on the surface of the skin and mucous membranes, looking like a papillary growth located on a thin "leg". The disease is associated with the human papillomavirus. The resulting papillomas can be injured, painful and cause external defects. In such a situation, it is natural to raise questions on their removal. Below we will talk about drugs to remove papillomas.
Human papillomavirus is far from a harmless representative of the viral flora. It not only causes the formation of papillomas and warts, but this pathogen sometimes causes the occurrence of malignant neoplasms, especially cervical cancer. In 2019, scientists published a work in which it was found that the population has low awareness of human papillomavirus, its transmission routes, consequences and prevention measures.
local medicines
First, let's look at drugs specifically designed to remove papillomas. We emphasize that before using them, you should consult a specialist.
The first drug is a liquid for external use, consisting of two components - metacresol and phenol. It should be applied pointwise to the affected areas of the skin or mucous membranes using a special stick, avoiding contact with adjacent areas of the skin. For small papillomas, as a rule, a single application is sufficient; For larger ones, repeated applications (3-4 times) at intervals of several minutes may be required.
How does this solution work? The components included in the solution cause coagulation of skin proteins, due to which the papillomas disappear.
Another commonly used preparation is a liquid composed of sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride and sodium hydroxide. It also has a cauterizing effect, allowing you to effectively remove not only papillomas, but also warts, genital warts, etc. Allows.
Furthermore, a solution that includes:
- nitric acid;
- acetic acid;
- lactic acid;
- Oxalic Acid Dihydrate;
- Copper Nitrate Trihydrate.
It belongs to local necrotizing drugs, promoting the destruction of pathologically altered tissues. This product is also applied pointwise to the affected area. If necessary, the processing is repeated several times.
systemic therapy
Local drugs alone are not enough to effectively deal with papillomas. To prevent recurrence, systemic therapy should be carried out, that is, taking drugs that have antiviral and immunomodulatory effects.
An example is inosine acedobene dimepranol. This drug is active against human papillomavirus, helps to suppress it in the body and has an immunostimulating effect.
We once again emphasize that before using any medication, you should consult a specialist.
