Human papillomavirus infection is transmitted primarily through sexual contact. To date, more than 100 strains of the virus are known, which differ in their degree of oncogenicity. Recently, doctors began to associate any skin neoplasm, including papilloma, to precancerous conditions, therefore, adequate treatment of papilloma on the body and timely removal is very important.
Which doctor should I go to with a papilloma on the body?
Unfortunately, the human papilloma virus persists in an asymptomatic form for a long time and even after the appearance of the papilloma on the body is not expressed in any way.
Patients are accustomed to seeing a doctor only with obvious disturbing symptoms:
- sick,
- itchy
- leakage of serous exudate, blood.
Often, papilloma -like symptoms characterize malignancy or inflammation.
If a neoplasm appears on the body, it is recommended to consult a general practitioner or directly with 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 of an oncologist is required.
How to stop the growth and cure papilloma on the body?
Removing papillary lesions alone will not solve the HPV problem.
New neoplasms will reappear in good condition:
- Exacerbation of chronic diseases;
- Colds or hypothermia;
- Stress factors;
- Long -term drug treatment.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to completely eliminate the virus from the body, but modern medicine is able to provide stable remission in connection with the pathogenic activity of more distant HPV strains.
Adequate drug therapy prevents the development of new papillary foci, and local drugs destroy the structure of the papilloma and cause self-amputation.
Tablets for papilloma 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 pathology or other predisposing factors that can lead to viral activation.
To treat the manifestations of HPV, the following medications are prescribed:
- Immunostimulatory antiviral agents. The active substance suppresses the activity of pathogenic viruses in a short time. Along with antiviral effects, these drugs stimulate the production of their own antibodies that fight the virus and completely eliminate the strain.
- Antiviral drugs derived from plants. Ingredients are effective against viral infections; after a few days of use, they destroy the viral strain at the DNA level. These funds are taken on the first day of recurrent growth. Side effects include nausea, dyspepsia, and uncomfortable stools.
- Purine -based synthetic products. The daily dose is 2-3 tablets a day, and in case of severe infection, the dose is increased to 5-6 tablets a day.
- Immunomodulators with high efficiency. Given that the growth and reproduction of papillomas is possible only against a background of decreased immunity, drug prescription is symptomatic. The daily dose is 1 tab. 4 times a day. Tablets are not prescribed during pregnancy and children under 10 years.
- Broad -spectrum tablets that are highly effective against HPV, fungal infections, pathogenic microorganisms. The drug increases the effectiveness of antiviral agents of other drugs, has practically 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 use of drugs through the gastrointestinal tract and the possible negative effects of tablets on the state of internal organs and systems.
Creams and ointments
Local preparations against papillomas on the body can be used independently at home, which greatly simplifies therapy. Unlike tablet use, the ointment directly affects the papillomatous focus, destroys viral DNA and normalizes adequate cell regrowth.
There are several main remedies that can be used at home:
- Salicylic ointment. For treatment, agents with an active ingredient concentration of 60% were used. The course of treatment depends on the effectiveness of therapy. So, treatment continues from 7 to 14 days with a short break, after which treatment can be continued. Salicylic ointment can cause a mild tingling sensation, pain, itching. Affordable and affordable products will not harm, but will affect bacteria and regrowth.
- 3%oxolinic liniment. The main difference from nasal ointments is the concentration of the active ingredient. To eliminate papillomatous foci, 3% oxolin is required. The drug has a pronounced antiviral effect, preventing the emergence of new papillary foci.
- Ointment with interferon. An effective local immunomodulator that actively enhances local immunity. The active ingredient is human interferon, which has antiviral effects. A characteristic feature is the absence of contraindications, therefore, this 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.
- Ointment against papilloma with salicylic acid in an effective composition. The preparation is applied 2 times a day with an applicator or cotton liner, avoiding contact with healthy skin areas.
- Ointment with herbal ingredients. Funds enhance local immunity, help increase its own interferon synthesis. Such drugs destroy the structure of the papilloma, eliminating not only the external growth, but also the root of the neoplasm.
- Ointment with a complex composition and antibiotics. The main ingredients are the antibiotics chloramphenicol and methyluracil, which belong to the group of immunomodulators. The ointment contributes to the regrowth of normal skin cells, normalizing the water balance in the structure of the skin. The general course of treatment is 4 weeks, 2-3 applications a day.
Complex therapy generally 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!
With the background of drug treatment, one should adhere to a healthy lifestyle, eat properly and drink vitamin complexes. This is a comprehensive approach to the treatment of HPV that allows you to maintain a stable immunity for a long period of time and prevent the appearance of new papillomas on the body from various localizations.
Healthy and happy!
