Papillomas are benign formations that can be localized on any part of the skin and mucous membranes. To remove them, various methods and methods are used - medications, medicinal plants, surgical removal. Treatment of papillomas with folk remedies is often used in the localization of formations on the skin and is done at home.
Folk remedies for papillomas are not always effective enough, so it is better to supplement them with other treatment methods.
Papillomas: what it is and how to treat it
Papillomas are benign neoplasms that result from increased proliferation of epithelial cells. They can appear anywhere on the body:
- face - often near the eyes;
- neck;
- chest, abdomen, back;
- lower and upper limbs;
- anogenital zone;
- the mucous membrane of the reproductive organs - the walls of the vagina and cervix in women, the penis in men;
- mucous membrane of the respiratory tract.
In most cases, formations are caused by papillomaviruses (human papillomavirus, HPV). The disease can develop in both adults and children.
The treatment has two main directions: the elimination of papillomas and the fight against viral infection (including strengthening the immune system). For this, different methods can be used, 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 treat at home, although the treatment does not need special costs.
There are also disadvantages that limit the use of folk recipes:
- Getting rid of warts 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 lead to skin burns and the development of other complications.
- In the treatment, contraindications to the use of certain medicinal herbs are often not taken into account, therefore, allergic reactions and side effects from the digestive tract may develop.
Therefore, treatment with folk remedies will not allow you to get rid of papillomas quickly. However, with the right approach, home treatment can be effective.
What principles should be followed when choosing a therapy:
- a combination of funds for internal and external use;
- account for contraindications to their use;
- frequency of use.
In addition, it is recommended not to be limited to the use of folk remedies only, since it is unlikely that it will be possible to cure papillomas only with their use. It is much more effective to combine their intake with basic therapy (correcting lifestyle, 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, but complement each other. A combination of internal and external agents is particularly relevant for the treatment of skin diseases that occur as a result of a weak immune system.
