Most people in their lives at one age or another are faced with the formation of papillomas on the body, which are benign skin growths caused by the papilloma virus. And it is transmitted both domestically and sexually.
Can papillomas be removed?
The papillomas themselves are not particularly dangerous and are only a cosmetic defect. However, with excessive growth, there is a risk of their degeneration into malignant neoplasms. Therefore, if you find a similar phenomenon on your body, even a small one, it is advisable to visit a dermatologist who will give recommendations on whether to remove the papilloma and select the best way for this.
What are the methods of getting rid of neoplasms?
There are several ways to remove papilloma: cauterization, surgical intervention, cryodestruction and electrocoagulation. We offer a closer look at each of these methods.
Removal of papilloma whenmoxibustion assistance
This method is the simplest and consists in cauterizing the neoplasm with chemical means, which entails its death (necrosis). After the procedure is completed, a crust appears on the site of the removed papilloma, which in no case should be torn off, as this may lead to the formation of a scar. The crust itself will come off within a few days, and only smooth skin will remain in its place. You can remove papilloma by this method at home, but it is recommended to consult a specialist so as not to provoke atypia, which is an abnormal development of skin cells that can lead to the formation of a malignant tumor.
Surgical papilloma removal
This method involves cutting the papillomas with a scalpel, after which a pressure bandage is placed on the site of the removed neoplasm. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. It can also be done with a laser scalpel. It is much more preferable to remove papillomas with a laser than with an ordinary medical scalpel, since as a result of such an operation, bleeding also stops. In addition, this technique is characterized by a low probability of postoperative complications, a short recovery period and the ability to remove neoplasms of any shape and size.
Cryodestruction method
You can also remove papilloma in a way that involves freezing the neoplasm with liquidnitrogen. This procedure is simple and painless, and in most cases is well tolerated by patients and does not require additional anesthesia of the treated areas.
Electrocoagulation
The electrocoagulation method consists in the local impact on the papilloma with a high-frequency current. This procedure is carried out using special equipment that generates alternating and direct current.
