Papillomas are benign formations that can be located in any part of the skin and mucous membrane. Different tools and methods are used for their removal - medications, medicinal plants, surgical removal. Treatment of papillomas with folk remedies is most often used in the localization of formations on the skin and is carried out at home.
Folk remedies for papillomas are not always effective enough, so it is better to supplement other methods of treatment with them.
Papillomas: what it is and how to treat it
Papillomas are benign neoplasms resulting from increased proliferation of epithelial cells. They can appear anywhere on the body:
- face - more often near the eyes;
- the neck;
- chest, abdomen, back;
- lower and upper limbs;
- anogenital area;
- the mucous membrane of the genital organs - the walls of the vagina and cervix in women, the penis in men;
- mucous membrane of the respiratory tract.
In most cases, papillomaviruses (human papillomavirus, HPV) are the cause of formations. The disease can develop in both adults and children.
Treatment has two main directions: removal of papillomas and the fight against viral infection (including strengthening the immune system). For this, various methods can be used, including prescriptions of traditional medicine. The most effective is a combined approach to treatment, that is, a combination of different methods.
Folk recipes: the pros and cons
The use of folk remedies is only one of the treatment options.
The main advantage of traditional medicine is accessibility. You can be treated at home, while the treatment does not require special costs.
There are also disadvantages that limit the use of folk recipes:
- Removal of warts may take several months, it will not be possible to cure the disease quickly. But even with long-term treatment, there is no guarantee of success.
- The use of aggressive products can lead to skin burns and the development of other complications.
- In treatment, contraindications for the use of certain medicinal plants are often not taken into account, therefore allergic reactions and side effects from the digestive tract may develop.
Thus, treatment with folk remedies will not allow you to quickly get rid of papillomas. However, with the right approach, home treatment can be effective.
What principles should be followed in the choice of therapy:
- combination of funds for internal and external use;
- calculation of contraindications for use;
- frequency of use.
In addition, it is recommended not to limit yourself to the use of only folk remedies, as it is unlikely that it will be possible to cure papillomas with their use alone. It is much more effective to combine their intake with basic therapy (correcting lifestyle, strengthening immunity) and, if necessary, with drug therapy or surgical removal.
Distribution
All folk remedies are divided into 2 large groups - for internal and external use. However, they do not exclude, but rather complement each other. A combination of internal and external agents is especially important for the treatment of skin diseases that occur as a result of a weakened immune system.
