Treatment of warts and papillomas with drugs is a modern therapeutic technique. Thanks to the latest advances in science and medicine, pharmacies have a huge amount of all kinds of products for the care of problem areas and to combat such neoplasms.
Brief information about papillomas
It is 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 effect. It is important to approach the problem correctly, taking into account the characteristics of the pathogen.
The elements of papilloma are superficial neoplasms that look more like moles. Almost all of them have short legs with which they are attached to the surface. Externally, such elements do not look aesthetically pleasing, which makes them embarrassing and uncomfortable.
The neoplasms have a very different shape: flat, pointed, filamentous, mosaic. The color of the accumulation differs from the skin itself: it can be slightly lighter or darker. These growths are due to an increase in the number of elements in the upper layer of the epidermis in a certain area of the body.
The infection has been secret for a long time. The patient has only one complaint - the appearance of characteristic moles, warts. All internal structures of the body are also under attack. It has been proven that in the case of an infectious lesion, separate formations are found on the mucous elements of the stomach, urea and the cervix.
Characteristics of drug therapy
Preparations to remove papillomas are often used. The main therapy for this disease is the surgical removal of tumors. In this way, viral elements are removed on the surface of the face, neck, arms and legs. This is a radical method of removing warts, which is not always recommended. A more gentle technique is the use of drugs for viral neoplasms. It has been proven that the correct, adequate and complete use of drugs brings good results.
It is important to know and understand: there is no panacea for the virus. After infection, the pathogen remains in the body forever. The only thing that can be done is to control its activities. Modern drugs to remove papillomas allow you to stop the spread of the pathogen and minimize the external manifestations of the disease.
If a papilloma is found, how to treat it and what medications to use, the doctor decides after examining the patient. Complex therapy with the right intensity will quickly restore immunity. Medicines for papillomas differ from each other according to different criteria. In addition to the composition of the active substance and the manufacturer's company, they differ in their pricing policy. In practice, there are basically 2 sought-after groups of antipapilloma drugs. They are radically different in the mechanism of action on the pathogen. These are local and systemic drugs that can be found in any pharmacy.
Local external exposure agents are applied directly to the affected areas: elements of growths. Therefore, all altered structures quickly die, dry out and fall off on their own. Systemic drugs, which include tablets and capsules, have a depressant effect on the pathogen itself from within. Therefore, it is best to apply comprehensive measures to combat the disease: this is the only way to reliably stop the activity of the virus.
Particularly popular are simple and affordable drugs that include:
- salicylic acid (alcohol);
- iodine tincture;
- medical pencil;
- castor oil (for warts);
- glue to remove calluses;
- 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, even at maximum doses, have minimal toxicity to the body. The drugs act extremely locally. Plants quickly disappear after such exposure.
One of the most popular and inexpensive remedies for papilloma neoplasms in this group is the pencil. We are talking about a long-known drug based on silver compounds. This pencil is designed specifically to combat warts and papillomas. The product is extremely easy to use, fast and durable.
The pencil is the drug of choice for many patients. It has a pronounced cauterizing, antibacterial and necrotic effect on neoplasms. This is a very concentrated substance, so it should be applied carefully without touching healthy tissue nearby. 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, skin scars. It is better not to use such a drug on the face, neck, genitals.
Tablet immunostimulants
One way to fight the virus is to prescribe special drugs that have a stimulating effect on the patient. Such treatment is most recommended for severe disease with frequent and prolonged relapses. Such symptoms indicate a weakening of the body, depletion 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. The drugs effectively block the virus from multiplying, destroying all diseased and damaged cellular elements. They show a pronounced antiviral effect, while significantly strengthening the immune system.
A drug for the correction of pathological disorders of the immune system is available in tablet form. The course of treatment should not exceed 4 weeks.
The treatment regimen and dosage of the drug are calculated individually. It all depends on the type of viral agent and the degree of damage. In ordinary papillomas, medical treatment is sufficient. If warts are observed on the skin, in addition to tablets, surgery is indicated.
Homeopathy for HPV
At any time, to fight the signs of viral invasion, they fought with the help of natural ingredients at hand. Such therapy is particularly effective in the complex fight against papillomavirus. Tinctures of ginseng, lemongrass or echinacea are especially sought after among patients. Cream based on mummy is considered valuable. Herbal medicines are in great demand because they act an order of magnitude softer than industrial concentrated acidic or alkaline medicines.
Choice of drugs
It is recommended to consult a dermatologist to undergo treatment for papillomavirus. The treatment regimen depends on the location of the virus. If a number of neoplasms have appeared, for example, in intimate places - examination and consultation with a gynecologist or andrologist. According to experts, self-medication of viral neoplasms is a major health risk. This is due to the fact that papillomas are often malignant.
Due to poorly selected and inadequate therapy, a new recurrence of the disease quickly appears. The correct selection of the drug will ensure:
- removal of skin defects;
- strengthening immunity, which is necessary to exclude recurrence of the disease.
Human papillomavirus infection is one of the most common pathologies of our time. The causative agent is extremely resistant. It mainly affects the mucous structures. To successfully combat the manifestations of pathology, it is extremely important to undergo a comprehensive examination to determine the type of virus. This is the first step towards finding adequate and complete therapy. Modern treatment techniques and approaches can only minimize the external signs of infection.
