Growths on the body, similar to light warts or spots on the legs, which appear out of nowhere and often disappear without any treatment, are papillomas.
The causative agent of the disease - human papillomavirus (from English - Human Papillomavirus) - enters the body from the outside, is extremely widespread: up to 80% of the world's population is its carrier!
Such a high percentage is due to the fact that the infection occurs through contact with touch; it is almost impossible to inhibit virus transmission.
Not every carrier pays attention to the disease and goes to the doctor, so removing papillomas at home is always important.
Nature of papillomavirus
The insidious virus can be found everywhere: on the neck, armpits, under the breast, on the eyelids, abdomen and genitals. In most cases, it is a benign formation. If a virus invades cell chromosomes and integrates into the cell nucleus, it becomes malignant.
Before starting treatment, you should consult a doctor to find out the nature of the virus and then choose an acceptable method.
Who is at risk
The modern person is haunted by chronic stress, illness and bad habits. In such difficult conditions, the immune system fails, the gates open wide for various infections and the papilloma virus is ready to attack. Key prerequisites for increasing virus activity:
- severe stress;
- pregnancy;
- serious illness;
- long-term use of drugs;
- old age;
- avitaminosis;
- bad habits: smoking, alcohol;
- high unprotected sexual activity.
If at least one of the signs is present, it is likely a papillomavirus exacerbation and the appearance of sudden skin growths.
Routes of infection
Anyone can get the virus. But there are factors in which infection is almost inevitable:
- transmission of the virus from mother to newborn;
- unprotected sexual contact with a carrier;
- tangible contact with the patient;
- when sharing household appliances;
- pool visits;
- penetration of the virus through wounds in the skin.
The carrier of papillomavirus can live quietly for years and not suspect its presence, enlightenment usually occurs when the immune system is weakened. The virus then, dormant in the basal layer of the epithelium, emerges to the surface and takes the form of genital warts or flattened plaques. Living with papillomas is not comfortable and not aesthetically pleasing.
The most effective treatment is removal. You can not just cut the papilloma legs or try to cut them, but you can provoke active growth and reproduction of growths, growing into a malignant form.
At the first sign of infection, visit a dermatologist or try alternative treatments.
Homemade recipes
Self-removal removes only the superficial part, the papilloma nucleus is not affected. To completely destroy the virus, you need to undergo treatment with a dermatologist. The most popular home methods for removing growths are:

Two methods of treatment are known: tearing a celandine leaf, smearing the papilloma with the liquid that has come out and closing it with plaster. Re-lubricate once in 2 days, after a while the papilloma will dry out and fall off. The second way: to make a "cocktail" of celandine, chaga and string. Freeze in ice cube trays and apply in increments three times a day for a few minutes.
- Kalanchoe pinnate is cut lengthwise, applied to papillomas, tied with a bandage and left overnight.
- "Garlic Cream". Chop the garlic and mix the resulting mass with each cream in a ratio of 1: 2. Then apply on a piece of bandage and stick to the rise, gluing it with plaster. Leave on for 3 hours, then wash with soap and water.

Lubricate the papillomas with the egg white that remains on the walls of the shell after the egg is shed. Gather with a piece of bandage and apply on the papilloma.
Superstitions to help
Ancient semi-mystical methods of removing papillomas have survived to this day. The most curious of them:
- Tie knots over the growths with a silk thread, glue the knotted thread to a cut potato and hide where no one will find it. After a while, the potato will rot, and the papillomas will disappear!
- Rub the growths with the potatoes cut in half: first with one half, then with the other. Join the halves, place in a dark place and try to forget them. The skin will peel off after the potatoes are spoiled.
- The most romantic way is with the moonlight. In the waning moonlight late in the evening, rub the papilloma on the surface illuminated by the moonlight and the growth will disappear.
