Papilloma virus is easy to catch. It can be carried by kissing, having sex, or even touching an infected person. Most human infections are suppressed by the immune system. However, beneficial factors can activate the virus, and this begins to cause skin cells to grow.
Most HPV lesions are benign. They do not require mandatory removal, but they often cause great discomfort. In this case, you can get rid of skin growths in the clinic or use a remedy for warts and papillomas used at home.
Traditional and traditional medicine offer many options for dealing with papilloma virus-induced bumps in the epidermis. The main thing before using them is to correctly determine the origin of the formation on the skin so as not to harm yourself.
Pharmacy preparations
There is a huge range of medicines for warts and papillomas. The use of external means helps to quickly clean the skin. They can be issued in the following format:
- solution;
- gel, cream, ointment;
- plaster;
- aerosol.
Tablets help to prevent not only the defect but also its causes. Some of them stimulate the immune system, others have a strong antiviral effect.
Many medicines are available to treat warts and papillomas.
Solutions
Many liquid skin removers have a cauterizing effect. Before removing papillomas or warts with their help, you should lubricate the skin around the growth with zinc paste. This will help prevent burns if the corrosive fluid accidentally spills onto healthy tissue.
Some solutions have a keratolytic (emollient) effect. They gradually destroy warts and papillomas, providing a milder action than cauterizing agents. After their application, the death of the tissue layer begins.
Attention!If the cauterizing compound comes into contact with the skin, it must be washed immediately. Clean running water is used for this purpose. After cleansing, the epidermis is treated with medicinal ointment for several days!
Ointments, creams, gels
Warts and papillomas can be removed with more than just a solution. There are medicines with a thicker base: special ointments and gels with antiviral effect. The most suitable medicine will be recommended by a specialist.
Freezing preparations
A good way to get rid of warts and papillomas at home is special freezers, whose active ingredients are coolers. When they come in contact with the skin, they freeze the tissues. This is followed by a gradual death of the abnormal cells, resulting in the disappearance of the formation.
Refrigerants for the treatment of papillomas and warts should not be used:
- pregnant women;
- women during lactation;
- people with diabetes;
- infants up to four years of age.
Wart and papilloma removers are applied to an applicator that is applied to the growth of the skin. The exposure time of the refrigerants is specified in the instructions. It depends on the size and location of the education.
The skin should disappear two weeks after treatment. If the problem area is not cleared, the procedure is repeated.
It can take up to three freezes to remove severely hardened warts. This is the maximum number of repetitions of the procedure. If the accumulation could not be reduced, you should consult your doctor to adjust the method of treatment.
Softening patches
There are very effective remedies that help remove warts on the soles of the feet. They are in the form of special patches.
Removing plantar warts at home with patches is like this:
- The foot evaporates well.
- A piece of keratolytic adhesive plaster is cut. It must cover tuberculosis but not join healthy tissue.
- Ordinary adhesive plaster is attached at the top.
Coating should be renewed every two days. You no longer need to steam your leg.
Attention!The surface of the warts will gradually peel off. After the complete disappearance of the accumulation, a small pit may remain on the sole. Over time, the skin surface will smooth out!
Tablets
Systemic drugs are prescribed to address the root cause of papillomas and warts, the human papilloma virus.
The drug should be combined with external treatment for warts.
Experts recommend treating papillomas with warts with systemic drugs in parallel with external treatment of tuberculosis. With such an integrated approach, the highest effect of drug therapy is achieved.
Folk remedies
Alternative medicine offers many types of skin cleansing. The recipes describe in detail how to get rid of papillomas and wart growths at home.

Is it possible to choose the right tool yourself
Removing skin growths without first consulting a doctor is a minor and dangerous exercise. A person who does not have special medical education will not be able to reliably determine the origin of the pathology, to determine its type. It is these two criteria that directly influence the choice of treatment for papillomas and warts.
Only a dermatologist can determine the correct causes. After all, the bumps on the epidermis are not just caused by the human papilloma virus. With the help of laboratory tests, the nature of the anomaly is precisely determined. Professional diagnostics allows you to exclude:
- malignancy;
- molluscum contagiosum;
- syphilitic warts.
In addition, the dermatologist is well aware of the difference between papillomas and warts. This is important when choosing an effective means of combating them. He will notice different accumulation properties:
- form;
- outline functions;
- localization;
- color and size variability;
- additional sensations in the problem area.
Important!Only after finding out exactly the causes of the examination and the way of formation, a specialist will tell you with confidence how to get rid of warts and papillomas at home!
Keep in mind that removing growths with external means doesn't always completely solve the problem. After all, these papilloma and wart medicines do not remove the virus itself from the body, which caused the skin abnormality. Only comprehensive treatment will help to get rid of the pathology completely. The skin will be cleansed and the appearance of new formations will be ruled out.
