Treatment of warts and papillomas with drugs is a modern therapeutic technique. Thanks to the latest advances in science and medicine, pharmacies have a huge amount of all kinds of products to care for problem areas and to combat these types of neoplasms.
Interesting Facts About Papillomas
It is important to understand that human papillomavirus (HPV) is a serious infection that is difficult to treat. Each type of drug against this virus has its own characteristics of use and effect. It is important to approach the problem correctly, taking into account the characteristics of the pathogen.
Elements of papilloma are superficial neoplasms that look more like moles. Almost all have short legs, with which they adhere to the surface. Outwardly, such elements do not look aesthetically pleasing, which makes them embarrassing and inconvenient.
Neoplasms have a very different shape: flat, pointed, filamentous, mosaic. The color of the buildup is distinctive of the skin itself: it can be slightly lighter or darker. These growths are due to an increase in the amount of elements in the upper layer of the epidermis in a specific area of the body.
The infection is secret for a long time. The patient has only one complaint - the appearance of characteristic moles, warts. All internal structures of the body are also under attack. It has been shown that with an infectious lesion, distinct formations are revealed in the mucous elements of the stomach, urea, and cervix.
Features of drug therapy
Preparations are often used to remove papillomas. The main therapy for this ailment is surgical removal of neoplasms. In this way, viral elements are eliminated from the surface of the face, neck, arms and legs. This is a radical method of getting rid of warts, which is not always advisable. A gentler technique is the use of medications for viral neoplasms. Correct, adequate and complete use of medications has been proven to bring good results.
It is important to know and understand: there is no panacea for the virus. After infection, the pathogen remains in the body forever. The only thing you can do is monitor your activity. Modern drugs for removing papillomas allow you to stop the spread of the pathogen and minimize the external manifestations of the disease.
If a papilloma is detected, how to treat and what drugs to use, the doctor decides after examining the patient. Complex therapy of the correct intensity will quickly restore immunity. Medications for papillomas differ from each other based on different criteria. In addition to the composition of the active substance and the company of the manufacturer, they differ in their pricing policy. In practice, there are mainly 2 main groups of antipapilloma drugs in demand. They are fundamentally different in the mechanism of action on the pathogen. These are local and systemic drugs that can be found in all pharmacies.
Local agents for external exposure are applied directly to the affected areas: growth elements. Because of this, all altered structures quickly die, dry up, and fall off on their own. Systemic drugs, including tablets and capsules, have a depressing effect on the pathogen itself from the inside. That is why it is better to apply comprehensive measures to combat the disease - this is the only way to reliably stop the activity of the virus.
Simple and affordable medications are especially popular, including:
- salicylic acid (alcohol);
- tincture of iodine;
- medical pencil;
- castor oil (for warts);
- adhesive plaster to remove corns;
- ammonia;
- hydrogen peroxide;
- tea tree essential oil.
It has been proven that for external use on the skin against warts, it is best to use ointment elements. These valuable drugs, even in maximum doses, have minimal toxicity to the body. Medicines act exclusively locally. Growths after such exposure quickly disappear.
One of the most popular and inexpensive remedies for papilloma neoplasms of this group is a pencil. We are talking about a long-known drug based on silver compounds. This pencil is specifically designed to combat warts and papillomas. The product is extremely easy to use, fast and durable.
The pencil is the drug of choice for many patients. It has a pronounced cauterizing, antibacterial, and necrotic effect on neoplasms. This is a highly concentrated substance, so it should be applied gently without touching nearby healthy tissue. Otherwise, there is a risk of necrotization of areas of healthy skin.
Before using the product, it is better to consult a specialist. If used incorrectly, burns and scars can occur on the skin. It is better not to use such a remedy on the face, neck and genitals.
Immunostimulants in tablets
One of the ways to fight the virus is the appointment of special drugs that have a stimulating effect on the patient. This treatment is more advisable to prescribe in serious diseases with frequent and prolonged relapses. Such symptoms indicate a weakening of the body, exhaustion of its defenses. Therefore, it is necessary to prescribe drugs to restore immunity.
The list of drugs for complex therapy of viral relapse includes immunomodulators. The drugs effectively block the multiplication of the virus, destroying all diseased and damaged cellular elements. They show a pronounced antiviral effect, while significantly strengthening the immune system.
A drug to correct the pathological malfunction of the immune system is available in tablet form. The course of therapy should not exceed 4 weeks.
The therapy regimen and the dose of the drug are calculated individually. It all depends on the type of viral agent and the degree of damage. With common papillomas, drug treatment is sufficient. If warts are observed on the skin, in addition to tablets, surgical intervention is indicated.
Homeopathy for HPV
At all times, to combat the signs of the viral invasion, they fought with the help of natural ingredients at hand. Such therapy is especially effective in the complex fight against the papillomavirus. Ginseng, lemongrass or echinacea tinctures are in particular demand among patients. A mummy-based cream is considered valuable. Herbal remedies are in great demand, because they act an order of magnitude milder than acidic or alkaline concentrated industrial drugs.
Selection of medications
To undergo a treatment against the papilloma virus, it is recommended to consult a dermatologist. The therapy regimen depends on the location of the virus. If several neoplasms have appeared, for example, in intimate places, examination and consultation with a gynecologist or andrologist. According to experts, self-treatment of viral neoplasms poses a great risk to health. This is due to the fact that papilloma formations are usually malignant.
Due to inadequate and poorly selected therapy, a new relapse of the disease quickly occurs. The correct selection of the drug will provide:
- removal of skin defects;
- strengthening immunity, which is necessary to exclude relapses of the disease.

To successfully combat the manifestations of pathology, it is extremely important to undergo a full examination to determine the type of virus. This is the first step in finding a suitable and comprehensive therapy. Modern treatment techniques and approaches can only minimize the external signs of infection.
