In the clinic you can remove a wart, wart or papilloma of any size. We will examine the skin lesion and select the appropriate removal method. If a mole or papilloma is suspected to be malignant, after removal we will send it for histological examination.
When to remove moles, warts and papillomas
Warts and papillomas are recommended to be removed in any case. When located in areas of contact with clothing, they can bruise and cause pain or simply look unsightly. Additionally, some warts and papillomas tend to increase in size.
With the removal of moles, not everything is so simple. If the wart is flat, not injured, and does not change size or color, it does not need to be removed. For your comfort, it is best to remove stains that are located on the scalp, in places of contact with clothing and other areas where they are constantly injured.
If you notice the following signs, you should contact a dermatologist immediately:
- the mole grew markedly - several millimeters in diameter in a short time;
- it became dark and looked shiny or turned an uneven color;
- began to bleed;
- changed shape;
- Hair fell out of the mole, although it had been growing before.
All of these are possible manifestations of the degeneration of a mole into a malignant neoplasm. If they appear, immediately consult a doctor: he will examine the wart under a special microscope - a dermatoscope, remove it if necessary and send the material for histological examination. This will help you find out whether the wart has actually turned into a tumor and whether further treatment is needed.
Why do warts appear and how do cauterizing agents act on them?
These skin defects arise due to the action of the papillomavirus, which is present in many people. This type of virus is transmitted in several ways, including contact and sexual contact. While the human immune system functions normally, the infection does not manifest itself in any way, but when the defense is weakened, as well as when provoking factors appear, warts immediately appear on the skin. Neoplasms look like nodules or plaques, which grow over time and merge into colonies.
The provoking factors for the appearance of papillomas and condylomas are:
- Metabolic disorders.
- Weakening of the immune system.
- Sweating caused by wearing very hot clothes or shoes.
- The presence of other viral diseases.
This plant has been used since ancient times. Its juice, as well as tinctures, ointments and oils, were used to combat various skin diseases, since there were simply no other ways to get rid of these problems at that time. Researchers find it difficult to say why the burning effect of celandine produces such an effect. Some believe that the alkaloids contained in the juice are to blame. Others agree that the reason is the immune system's reaction to the drug. It works quite effectively on warts, removing them.
The fight against warts must be carried out comprehensively and include not only medicines aimed at eliminating external manifestations, but also medicines to eliminate the causative virus. Celandine belongs to the first category.
What warts can be removed with celandine? This remedy is natural and therefore can be used to cure almost all tumors. However, there are some exceptions:
- Warts in the intimate area cannot be cauterized, as the skin in these areas is quite delicate and the use of this product can cause burns.
- Celandine does not help in the treatment of malignant (oncological) formations.
If you notice that the wart itches, peels or swells, consult a doctor before treating it. You probably have a completely different condition that is not related to warts.
Is it necessary to remove papillomas?
Small spots that do not protrude above the surface of the body sometimes look very attractive, which certainly cannot be said about papillomas. They are a source of discomfort because they grow in places where the skin is in constant contact with clothes and other parts of the body. Papillomas are often injured: when cracked, any of them can become a source of bleeding. Sometimes, when an infectious agent is attached, the papilloma and surrounding tissues become inflamed, which leads to undesirable consequences.
It is known that when the papillomavirus accumulates inside a wart for a long time, it can cause genetic changes in the skin's epithelial cells. With a genetic mutation, cells divide uncontrollably and the affected area of skin begins to grow. All these factors contribute to the onset of the oncological process, which is why papillomas must be eliminated as quickly as possible. In addition, now there are many modern methods that allow you to do this quickly, painlessly and effectively.
How to remove a wart with celandine
To obtain the active medicine, celandine is collected during the flowering period (May, June) in clean places, away from roads and industrial enterprises. If you have access to these plants, the best method for removing warts is to cauterize them with fresh juice, 3 to 5 times a day, until the growth disappears.
This removal method is simple and painless. You choose a stem of celandine and yellow juice immediately appears on its cut. This juice should be applied to the wart steamed in hot water (to enhance the effect) several times a day.
The juice should be applied directly to the wart, without reaching healthy skin. The growth will first turn black, then decrease in size, and then disappear completely. This is the best and most effective way.
But you can use celandine tincture or oil from it. This is when warts appear in winter and there is no fresh juice. These preparations are prepared in advance in the summer and must be infused for 2-3 weeks in a dark place.
This plant is popularly considered a very effective remedy, but there are also contraindications to its use, so you should pay attention to those who should not be treated with celandine.
- Individual intolerance.
- During the pregnancy.
- Breastfeeding mothers.
- Children under 5 years old.
- For bronchial asthma.
- For epilepsy.
Why do you need to remove papillomas and warts?
For the most part, benign neoplasms, such as papillomas and warts, do not cause direct harm to health. Some papillomas can remain on the skin for decades without changing their appearance or increasing in size. However, they create certain difficulties and risks. Thus, a wart on the foot often tends to grow and, over time, begins to poison life with everyday pain when walking. Warts on the fingers (usually appear in children) or papillomas hanging in the folds of the skin in women can cause soft tissue damage. For example, if papillomas are located on the chest or back, in the process of constant friction (for example, against a harness or bra clasp), neoplasms can be accidentally torn off, bleed and become inflamed. Often, others begin to appear near a papilloma.
There is an even more serious reason for timely removal of tumors. Among the numerous strains of papillomaviruses, non-oncogenic, weakly oncogenic and high level of oncogenicity types of HPV are known. The latter are at risk of degeneration: neoplasms that arise through their fault can, over time, turn from benign to malignant. By removing these tumors in a timely manner, skin cancer can be prevented.
The problem also lies in the fact that an ordinary person can confuse another, more dangerous neoplasm with a papilloma or wart and self-medicate or simply not pay attention to it. Therefore, if you have any doubts, it is important to see a specialist (dermatologist), he will make the diagnosis, determine the origin of the tumors, the degree of danger and then suggest the ideal treatment methods in this case.
It is highly not recommended to remove papillomas and warts on your own, without first consulting a specialist: this may not only not bring the desired effect, but also aggravate the problem (especially you should not pluck or cut the growths).
A cosmetologist's opinion: "Of course, viral warts require timely treatment, otherwise the process can significantly spread through the skin and also lead to infection of people around. As for papillomas, the formations must be removed to prevent their growth , trauma, possible infection and for aesthetic reasons. "
Recovery period after papilloma removal
Regardless of the method of surgery for genital warts used, the procedure is followed by a course of rehabilitation, during which the patient must adhere to the following recommendations:
- Refrain from intimacy;
- Women are not recommended to use suppositories and vaginal tampons;
- Do not bathe;
- Do not wet the postoperative wound during the first 2-3 days;
- Do not scratch or subject the resulting crust to mechanical impacts;
- Maintain regular genital hygiene and treat the surgical wound with prescribed medications.
Compliance with these recommendations will reduce the recovery period and prevent the occurrence of adverse complications (infection, bleeding, inflammation of the postoperative wound).
