Viral formations that grow in open areas of the body: papillomas and warts are perceived by many as a cosmetic defect. Removal of these neoplasms is possible in several ways, traditional medicine can also be attributed to them.
But before you start using "grandma's recipes" in practice, you need to know exactly which papillomas can be removed on your own and what you need to do so that they do not grow back.
Why do they appear?
Papillomas appear as a result of human infection with the smallest microorganism - the human papillomavirus or HPV for short.
Infection can occur in several ways. This is sexual, normal, and mother-to-fetus contact.
HPV infection does not always lead to the appearance of unsightly-looking growths.
To activate the pathogen, a provoking effect of one of several negative factors is required: decreased immunity, chronic diseases of the digestive system, prolonged stress, hormonal failure.
Activation of the virus leads to the fact that it begins to actively multiply in the epithelium, changes the structure of the cells of this layer of the skin, and as a result, a small tumor begins to appear on the body.
It can take the form of flat or filiform papillomas, warts, genital warts growing in the genital area, plantar papillomas on the feet.
The main danger of the formation of papillomas on the body lies in the possibility of injury and infection.
Warts on the external and internal genital organs can form in the presence of oncogenic strains of HPV in the body and therefore can indicate the possibility of developing cancer. There is also a risk of multiple appearance of papillomas on the body from a first formation.
How to get rid of HPV at home?
You can also get rid of papillomas on the body at home using pharmaceutical preparations or some folk remedies. But before starting self-treatment, it is necessary to make sure that the viral formation does not degenerate into a malignant tumor.
