List of drugs and products for removing and treating the papilloma virus

Spawn Locations

There are about 100 varieties of human papillomavirus, almost all of which are treatable. Several species are capable of developing into cancerous formations if they are not diagnosed in time.

Warts appear several months after infection with the virus. And they localize these places on the body:

• Frequent manifestations on the extremities: arms - palms and fingers, legs - feet and fingers.
• Skin of the face and neck.
• Rib cage.
• Armpits, most often in women.
• Genital organs and the immediate areas around them.
• Mucous parts of the body.

Neoplasms do not appear on a person just like that; there must be a compelling reason. The most common patients who become infected with HPV are those who:

• Taking antibiotics.
• Susceptible to viral diseases.
• Not protected from diseases.
• They suffered serious illnesses and operations.
• They lead an indiscriminate sex life.
• They don't take care of hygiene.
• Possess bad habits such as smoking, taking drugs or drinking alcoholic beverages.
• Have a weakened immune system.

Growths can grow not only on the surface of the skin, but also attack the deeper layers of the skin and internal and external organs.

To avoid active progression of papillomas, they should be removed medically or surgically. Effective medicines for warts already exist in any pharmacy.

Castor oil

HPV drugs include a product made from poisonous castor beans obtained in a cold way. After filtration, toxic substances remain in the cake; a viscous yellowish liquid is used for treatment. The therapeutic effect is due to ricinic and linoleic acids.

They:

• quickly absorbed;
• restore metabolic processes in tissues;
• accelerate regeneration;
• affect the virus.

The procedure is effective for small epithelial growths. When oil is applied to the surface, they first become inflamed and red. After darkening, the papillomas fall off, and the affected area quickly heals. To speed up the process, soda is added to the oil. The ingredients are mixed, a thick paste is applied to the problem area, and fixed with a gauze bandage. The procedures are carried out daily until complete disappearance.

A product with a natural formula – Sani Skien – will remove formations on the skin painlessly.

The product includes tea tree ester, castor oil, salicylic acid. In contrast to inexpensive castor bean oil, the price of the drug is several times higher.

Methods for getting rid of growths and their effectiveness

There is no single treatment process in medical practice. For all types of papillomas and their subtypes, there is a unique technique. There are several types of treatment:

• Freezing with liquid nitrogen. The most popular method of treatment, which guarantees only 50-60% of a favorable outcome. This statistics exists due to frequent relapses among the population.
• Current therapy. The probability percentage varies from 70 to 90, and the possibility of returning to the start of treatment is 40%.
• Removal by radio waves. Mainly used to get rid of genital warts - condylomas.
• Laser removal method. The probability is quite impressive from 55% to 95%.
• Excision under anesthesia using a scalpel. This type does not guarantee complete recovery.
• Treatment with medications: tablets, creams, ointments. Effectiveness cannot be monitored without an accurate picture of the disease.
• Folk remedies.

Salicylic acid

An effective remedy for removing papillomas - 10-60% solutions, patches, ointments based on willow bark.

Before treatment, the area with epithelial growth:

• steam in hot water;
• wipe dry;
• treat the surface with a cotton swab moistened with salicylic acid;
• cover with adhesive tape and leave for 6-8 hours.

After 3 weeks, the growth is removed with pumice. An alternative is Kolomac with salicylic acid, which softens tissue. Salipod operates on the same principle. The patch is applied to pre-steamed skin. Formulas with an antiviral effect are used separately and together. With an integrated approach, the results appear faster.

Medications

Treatment of the skin from HPV requires time and the following types of products:

Gel. It is better to combine this method with taking pills to increase the chance of complete recovery without relapse. The gel penetrates deeply under all layers of human skin, and relieves the inflammatory process right at the very epicenter of the problem.

Oxolinic gel. A rather gentle way to get rid of growths, because it is applied easily and absorbed quickly. It has an anti-inflammatory substance - oxlolin, which destroys such a virus and does not allow infected cells to pass to healthy ones.

Plantar papillomas are removed using diathermocoagulation and cryodestruction. If the patient has flat papillomas, they are removed using cryotherapy with the simultaneous administration of immunostimulants.

Threaded papillomas are removed using diathermocoagulation, warty ones - using cryotherapy or diathermocoagulation with subsequent restoration of immunity.

Genital warts are removed using laser, cryotherapy, and diathermocoagulation. Genital papillomas are destroyed with a solution of trichloroacetic acid, podophyllin. It should be remembered that treatment of genital papillomas can be difficult in the presence of concomitant diseases (herpes, bacterial vaginosis, chlamydia and a number of others).
