Papillomas are benign structures that can be located anywhere on the skin and mucous membranes. To remove them, various means and methods are used - drugs, medicinal plants, surgical removal. Treatment of papillomas with folk remedies is more often used for localization of skin formations and is done at home.
Folk remedies for papillomas are not always effective enough, so it is best to use them as a supplement to other treatments.
Papilloma: what it is and how to treat it
Papillomas are benign tumors arising from increased proliferation of epithelial cells. They can appear anywhere on the body:
- face - usually near the eyes;
- neck;
- chest, abdomen, back;
- lower and upper extremities;
- anogenital area;
- mucous membranes of the reproductive organs - the walls of the vagina and cervix in women, the penis in men;
- Respiratory mucosa.
In most cases, papillomavirus (human papillomavirus, HPV) is responsible for the formation. This disease can develop in adults and children.
Treatment has two main directions: removing papillomas and fighting viral infections (including boosting the immune system). For this, various methods can be used, including traditional medicine recipes. The most effective is combination therapy, which is a combination of different approaches.
Folk recipes: advantages and disadvantages
Using folk remedies is just one of the treatment options.
The main advantage of traditional medicine is accessibility. You can receive treatment at home, and there is no special fee for treatment.
There are also disadvantages that limit the use of folk recipes:
- Removing warts can take several months and there is no quick cure for the disease. But even with long-term treatment, success is not guaranteed.
- Using corrosive products can lead to skin burns and other complications.
- In therapy, contraindications to the use of certain herbs are often not considered, so allergic reactions and gastrointestinal side effects may occur.
Therefore, treatment with folk remedies will not get you rid of papillomas quickly. However, with the right approach, home therapy can be effective.
What principles should be followed in choosing therapy:
- Combination of internal and external funds;
- Description of contraindications for use;
- usage frequency.
In addition, it is recommended not to limit yourself to the use of folk remedies, since it is impossible to cure papillomas using them alone. It is much better to combine their intake with basic treatment (lifestyle correction, immunity booster) and, if necessary, medication or surgical removal.
Classification
All folk remedies fall into two broad categories - internal and external. However, they do not exclude, but complement each other. The combination of internal and external agents is especially important in the treatment of skin diseases that occur due to a weakened immune system.
