Human papillomavirus infection is mainly transmitted through sexual contact. To date, more than 100 viral species are known, which vary in degree of oncogenicity. Recently, doctors have begun to attribute any skin neoplasm, including papillomas, to a precancerous condition, which is why adequate treatment of papillomas in the body and timely removal are so important.
Which doctor should I go to with papillomas on the body?
Unfortunately, the human papilloma virus persists in an asymptomatic form for a long time and even after the appearance of papillomas on the body is not expressed in any way.
Patients are accustomed to seeing a doctor only with clear disturbing symptoms:
- pain,
- scrape
- leakage of serous exudate, blood.
Often, such symptoms with papillomas characterize malignancy or inflammation.
If neoplasms appear in the body, it is recommended to consult a general practitioner or directly a dermatologist. If a human papillomavirus infection is suspected, a dermatologist may refer you to an infectious disease specialist, venereologist, gynecologist, or urologist.
With alarming symptoms, consultation with oncologists is required.
How to stop the growth and cure papillomas in the body?
Removing papillary lesions alone will not solve the HPV problem.
New neoplasms will reappear in favorable circumstances:
- Exacerbation of chronic diseases;
- Colds or hypothermia;
- Stress factor;
- Long-term treatment with medication.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to completely remove the virus from the body, but modern medicine is able to provide a lasting forgiveness regarding the further pathogenic activity of HPV strains.
Adequate drug therapy prevents the development of new papillary foci, and local drugs destroy the structure of the papilloma and lead to its self-amputation.
Tablets for papillomas on the body
Tablets are prescribed, if necessary, systemic treatment to stop the activity of viral strains. At the same time, they solve the problem of treating combined pathologies or other predisposing factors that may lead to virus activation.
To treat the manifestations of HPV, the following medications are prescribed:
- Immunostimulatory antiviral agents. Active substances suppress pathogenic viral activity in a short time. Along with the antiviral effect, the drugs stimulate the production of their own antibodies that fight the virus and completely eradicate the strains.
- Antiviral drugs of plant origin. Substances effectively fight viral infection; after a few days of use, they destroy viral strains at the DNA level. These funds have already been received on the first day of a recurring increase. Side effects include nausea, indigestion, and troubled bowel movements.
- Purine-based synthetic products. The daily dose is 2-3 tablets per day, and in case of severe infection, the dose is increased to 5-6 tablets per day.
- High efficiency immunomodulators. Given that the growth and reproduction of papillomas is possible only against the background of reduced immunity, the prescription of drugs is symptomatic. The daily dose is 1 tab. 4 times a day. The tablets are not prescribed during pregnancy and children under 10 years.
- Broad-spectrum tablets that are very effective against HPV, fungal infection, pathogenic microorganisms. Medications increase the effectiveness of other antiviral medical agents, have virtually no contraindications. The course of treatment is long in 14-21 days.
HPV tablets are taken strictly after the appointment of the attending physician. This is due to oral administration, the passage of the drug through the digestive tract and the possible negative effect of the tablets on the condition of internal organs and systems.
Creams and ointments
Topical preparations against papillomas on the body can be used independently at home, which greatly simplifies therapy. Unlike the use of tablets, ointments directly affect the papillomatous focus, destroying viral DNA and normalizing adequate cell regeneration.
There are some basic medicines that can be used at home:
- Salicylic ointment. For treatment, an agent with a concentration of active substance of 60% is used. The course of treatment depends on the effectiveness of therapy. So the treatment lasts from 7 to 14 days with a short break, after which the treatment can continue. Salicylic ointment can cause slight tingling sensation, pain, itching. An affordable and affordable product will not harm, but will have a pronounced bactericidal and regenerative effect.
- Oxolinic liniment 3%. The main difference from nasal oil is the concentration of the active substance. To remove papillomatous foci, 3% oxolin is needed. The drug has a pronounced antiviral effect, prevents the appearance of new papillary foci.
- Ointment with interferon. Effective local immunomodulators that actively enhance local immunity. The active substance is human interferon, which has an antiviral effect. A characteristic feature is the lack of contraindications, therefore, the agent is widely used in pediatric practice.
- Zinc ointment. The drug is effective against many dermatological diseases, including papillomas and warts. Zinc paste is absorbent, astringent and anti-inflammatory. Liniment is based on zinc oxide, which dries the papilloma, contributing to its rapid decline.
- Oils against papillomas with salicylic acid in the composition are effective. The preparations are applied 2 times a day with an applicator or a cotton swab, avoiding contact with healthy areas of the skin.
- Creams with herbal ingredients. The funds increase local immunity, help increase the synthesis of its own interferon. Drugs destroy the structure of the papilloma, eliminate not only the external growth, but also the root of the neoplasm.
- Ointments with a complex composition and antibiotics. The main ingredients are the antibiotics chloramphenicol and methyluracil, which belongs to the group of immunomodulators. Oils contribute to the normal regeneration of skin cells, normalize the water balance in skin structures. The general course of treatment is 4 weeks, 2-3 applications per day.
General complex therapy lasts up to several weeks. Patients should take systemic medications along with local agents to stop the viral process as soon as possible.
The course of antiviral therapy should not be interrupted!
Against the background of drug treatment, you should adhere to a healthy lifestyle, eat properly and drink vitamin complexes. It is a comprehensive approach to HPV treatment that allows you to maintain stable immunity for a long time and prevent the appearance of new papillomas in the body of different localization.
Be healthy and happy!
