Papillomas are benign skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Basically, such formations have an uneven surface and a different color (from white to dirty brown).
90% of the world's population is infected with this type of virus. However, with a he althy immune system, the formation and reproduction of papillomas does not occur. The virus becomes aggravated with a decrease in immunity - as a result of prolonged medication, during pregnancy, after an illness or stress. The virus can also be transmitted through unprotected intercourse with an HPV carrier.
Unfortunately, papillomas are not only a cosmetic defect. Their appearance and spread can provoke serious complications, such as cancer. Removal of papillomas does not eliminate the cause of the disease, but it is necessary in order to prevent their malignant degeneration.
There are several effective ways to eliminate such a defect:
1. laser method. It is the most efficient. Under the action of a laser beam directed at the papilloma, a blood vessel is sealed, which nourishes the pathological formation. ATAs a result, after 5-7 days, education, without receiving the necessary nutrition, disappears. The procedure is virtually painless and does not require the use of anesthesia. Removal of papillomas with a laser is suitable for the elimination of formations on the neck, eyelid area, decollete.
2. Cryodestruction. This method is based on the action of liquid nitrogen. A special applicator is wetted in liquid nitrogen at a sufficiently low temperature and applied to the papilloma, as a result, it freezes, the formation darkens and soon disappears. If the papilloma is large enough, an additional procedure may be required.
3. surgical method. Removal of papillomas in this way involves cutting off the skin formation with a surgical scalpel. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. After the operation, a pressure bandage is applied to the wound. You can also use a laser scalpel. During the procedure, the tissue is removed and the bleeding stops at the same time. The method virtually eliminates complications and has a short recovery period.
4. Electrocoagulation. During the procedure, the papilloma is exposed to high-frequency current. As a result, an irreversible process of coagulation of protein tissues occurs. This method does not allow severe bleeding and infection. If the formation is large, then painkillers are used.
These are the main methods by which papillomas can be removed. Prices for this procedure depend on the size and number of formations,selected removal method and location (aesthetic clinic, beauty salon).
To remove skin formations, you can also use folk remedies such as laundry soap, celandine juice, tea tree oil, aloe juice, castor oil, lemon essential oil, cabbage juice.
Whichever method you choose from the above, removal of papillomas is permissible only after consulting an experienced specialist, so you reduce the risk of possible complications. To prevent the recurrence of formations, it is necessary to strengthen the immune system and systematically undergo a course of antiviral therapy.
