Papillomas are benign formations that can be localized in any part of the skin and mucous membranes. Different means and methods are used for their removal - medications, medicinal plants, surgical removal. Treatment of papillomas with folk remedies is more often used in the localization of formations on the skin and is carried out at home.
Folk remedies for the treatment of papillomas are not always effective enough, so it is better to supplement them with other treatment methods.
Papillomas: what is it and how to treat it
Papillomas are benign tumors that arise as a result of increased proliferation of epithelial cells. They can appear anywhere on the body:
- face - most often near the eyes;
- neck;
- chest, stomach, back;
- lower and upper extremities;
- anogenital area;
- genital mucosa - vaginal walls and cervix in women, penis in men;
- respiratory mucosa.
In most cases, papillomaviruses (human papillomavirus, HPV) are the cause of formations. The disease can develop in both adults and children.
Treatment has two main directions: removing papillomas and fighting viral infection (including strengthening the immune system). Various methods can be used for this purpose, including traditional medicine recipes. The most effective is a combined approach to treatment, that is, a combination of different methods.
Folk recipes: pros and cons
The use of folk remedies is only one of the treatment options.
The main advantage of traditional medicine is accessibility. You can be treated at home as long as the treatment does not require special costs.
There are also disadvantages that limit the use of folk recipes:
- Getting rid of a wart can take several months, it will not be possible to cure the disease quickly. But even with long-term treatment, there is no guarantee of success.
- The use of aggressive products can cause skin burns and the development of other complications.
- Contraindications to the use of certain medicinal plants are often not taken into account in the treatment, so allergic reactions and side effects of the digestive tract may develop.
Thus, treatment with folk remedies will not allow you to quickly get rid of the papilloma. However, with the right approach, home treatment can be effective.
What principles should be followed when choosing therapy:
- combination of means for internal and external use;
- list of contraindications for use;
- frequency of use.
In addition, it is recommended not to limit yourself to the use of folk remedies, as it is unlikely that it will be possible to cure papillomas with their use alone. It is much more effective to combine their intake with basic therapy (lifestyle correction, strengthening immunity) and, if necessary, with drug therapy or surgical removal.
Classification
All folk remedies are divided into 2 large groups - for internal and external use. However, they do not exclude each other, but complement each other. The combination of internal and external remedies is especially relevant in the treatment of skin diseases that occur as a result of a weakened immune system.
