The action of ointments from papillomas
Most of the well-known and popular ointments for papillomas have a local effect, and the active substances that are in their composition do not penetrate into the systemic circulation.
As a result of this principle of action, no side effects are observed after ointments, unlike taking drugs.
The effective action of ointments from papillomas is due to their properties:
- destruction of infected cells;
- stimulation of the immune system;
- anesthesia;
- antiviral property;
- anti-inflammatory effect.
Each ointment for the treatment of papilloma has a unique composition, and you need to choose the right remedy carefully. One ointment can combine all the properties, while the other can be directional.
For example, salicylic ointment has an anti-inflammatory effect, it destroys benign cells.
Before using ointments from plantar or dry papillomas, the affected area of the skin should be vaporized and dried with a clean soft towel, only then lubricated with the selected product.
The active components of the ointment fall into the structure of the papilloma, acting on the cells affected by the virus.
But an effective result can be achieved if the virus is not active enough.
Modern pharmacies offer a large selection of ointments for papillomas, but there are several folk remedies.
Salicylic ointment
Salicylic ointment to remove papillomas is one of the available and effective means to get rid of the defect.
