Warts are skin formations that appear very often in people and in different parts of the body. In addition, they are equally common in young children and adults, as they develop regardless of a person's age. Dermatologists explain the occurrence of warts with the presence of human papillomavirus in the body. This virus is found in most people because it is transmitted very easily, both on a daily basis and through contact. But if a person's immunity is strong, then the virus "falls asleep" and does not cause problems. But as immune function declines rapidly, HPV begins to multiply, resulting in papillomas on the body. Warts usually appear on the face, limbs and neck.
Removing papillomas is a very important process. Indeed, although they may not cause significant discomfort to a person, warts spread throughout the body over time, increasing in size. Sometimes whole wart colonies can grow. In this case, a person has natural questions: is it necessary to remove papillomas on the body and how to do it properly? The article will focus on papilloma and wart removal methods, especially what celandine treats and how to clean wart skin.
Papilloma removal methods
You can get rid of warts with surgical treatments, chemical methods and medications. There are currently many such methods. Here are the most common and popular:
- Laser removal is a rather expensive procedure.
- Liquid nitrogen removal is a painful and unpleasant procedure that can lead to relapse at the site where the liquid nitrogen was applied. There may also be traces on the skin.
- Chemical methods - Products that can be purchased at a pharmacy are used.
- Celandine herb - the healing properties of this plant allow you to effectively fight warts.
However, even if a person tries to remove papillomas using traditional methods without wanting to use medicine or other methods offered by modern medicine, he should still see a doctor. It is important for a specialist to do the examination and necessary research and make sure that it is a papilloma and not an oncology education. After all, malignancies can develop in a person of any age, and in order to cure the disease in time, it must be detected as early as possible.
Celandine for warts - pros and cons
Celandine is a well-known herb for warts and other things in folk medicine.
Celandine belongs to the poppy family. It is a perennial plant with a straight, branched stem, sometimes reaching a height of 1 m. Its flowering begins in May and lasts until about mid-summer. When the plant stem is broken, orange juice is released, which gives the skin a bright color. It is important to remember that all parts of this herb are poisonous. It contains about two dozen alkaloids.
Celandine is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry. But because this medicine grows everywhere, it can be used to treat skin lesions and alone, in its natural form.
Its strong poisonous substance is effective in other skin diseases - eczema, dermatitis. Even in oncology this plant is used because celandine contains a large number of different toxic substances.

- This folk remedy is difficult to use for treatment and for those living in the city. In this case, it is much easier to buy the necessary celandine-based product at the pharmacy.

Using celandine to remove warts
Those planning to remove skin formations will need instructions on how to use celandine for warts.
Freshly squeezed celandine juice, instructions for use
If the grass grows in a summer house or next to the house, you can juice the papillomas directly from the cut. To do this, you need to cut the plant closer to the root with the highest amount of juice. It protrudes as soon as the cut is made.
To get rid of the wart, the juice should be dropped 4 times a day directly on the papilloma. Usually the formation disappears within 3-4 weeks. The wart gradually turns black and disappears.
Using juice with glycerin
Juice juice can be practiced at home for a longer period of time. If the plant does not have permanent access, you can squeeze the plant juice and mix it with glycerin. The result is a creamy mass. It can be used for a relatively long time. In addition, this tool is easy to use for created formations. It is worth preparing the product at a time when celandine is actively blooming.
This product is not only used to treat warts. It is used for the face - to reduce the severity of acne, as well as for the treatment of dermatitis, eczema. Those interested in removing warts with this cream should know that removing warts with this tool is also gradual. And if the wart turns black after a while, then the remedy works.
Own juicer
Those who are interested in removing warts with celandine do not need to buy a medicine containing it from a pharmacy. To make the juice, you need to collect fresh plants, wash them and dry them a little so that the leaves and stems do not have moisture. Next, you need to pass through the meat grinder twice and squeeze the pulp juice with a dense cloth. Pour it into dark glass bottles that need to be closed with caps.
After about a week, the juice will start to ferment, during which time you need to open the bottles and release the gas every day. This should be done until the fermentation is complete. The juice is then used for treatment. You must store the finished product in the refrigerator, which will help extend its shelf life.
Extract preparation
In addition to vegetable juice, the extract contains vodka or alcohol. This allows you to increase the shelf life of the prepared product. Add vodka or alcohol to the juice at the rate of 50 ml of vodka per 100 ml of juice. If there is such a product in the refrigerator, the question of whether it is possible to remove papillomas with celandine juice in winter does not arise. After all, the extract can be stored for a very long time.
Precautions for removing papillomas
It is very important to know how to properly remove papillomas and how to make juice to prevent burns. Always wear gloves when making juice.
Consider removing papillomas from the body if there are many in different places. In this case, you cannot immediately melt all the formations. During one three-week course of treatment, 5-6 warts should be treated, because with more papilloma treatment, the poison can have a negative effect on the body. If the papilloma has turned black, then the treatment works.
Before removing papillomas with juice, check for allergic reactions. To do this, you need to add a little extract or juice to the elbow folds. If itching, rash, burning does not appear, then there is no allergic reaction, and you can take this folk medicine for papillomas.
Pharmacy products to get rid of papillomas
The question of how to cauterize papillomas at home is also relevant for urban dwellers, who find it difficult to find celandine in nature. It is much easier to buy ready-made preparations based on celandine in a pharmacy. However, you should be careful when buying papilloma removal products at a pharmacy. Indeed, by buying a cream or ointment for removing papillomas, you can get a counterfeit product that does not contain celandine.
Removal of papillomas by chemical treatment
It is important to remember that all chemicals must be used in strict accordance with the instructions. Before using this product, you should treat the skin near the warts with an oily cream to prevent burns.
If such a liquid accidentally gets on your skin or mucous membranes, it is important to rinse the area immediately and thoroughly, rinsing for at least 10 minutes.
Celandine costs and user feedback
The price ofcelandine in a pharmacy depends first on the product that contains it. Usually, the issue of buying celandine tincture or extract is not difficult - these products are sold both in pharmacies and in many online stores.
Overall, reviews of products based on this drug are positive. Reviews of treatment with celandine at home indicate that it really helps get rid of warts. But only on condition that you use it regularly and do not stop treatment. Reviews of tincture and extract are different. But in general, we can conclude that preparations based on celandine help to clean the skin from formations and at the same time do not cause pronounced side effects.
