Human papillomavirus infection is transmitted primarily through sexual contact. To date, more than 100 strains of the virus have been known, which vary in their degree of carcinogenicity. Recently, clinicians have begun to consider any skin tumor, including papilloma, to be a precancerous condition, therefore, appropriate treatment of body papillomas and prompt resectionTime is very important.
Which doctor should I see with body papillomas?
Unfortunately, the human papilloma virus progresses in an asymptomatic form for a long time and even after the appearance of papilloma virus on the body is not expressed in any way.
Patients are used to seeing a doctor only with clearly worrisome symptoms:
- pain,
- itchy
- leakage of serous secretions, blood.
Often, such symptoms with papillomas are characteristic of malignancy or inflammation.
If a tumor appears on the body, it is recommended to see a general practitioner or directly to a dermatologist. If human papillomavirus infection is suspected, your dermatologist may refer you to an infectious disease specialist, dermatologist, gynecologist, or urologist.
With alarming symptoms, it is necessary to consult an oncologist.
How to stop the growth and cure papilloma on the body?
Removing only papilloma lesions will not solve the HPV problem.
New tumors will arise again under favorable circumstances:
- Exacerbations of chronic diseases;
- Cold or hypothermia;
- Stress factor;
- Long-term drug therapy.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to completely eliminate the virus from the body, but modern medicine can provide stable remission related to subsequent pathogenic activity of HPV strains.
Appropriate drug therapy suppresses the growth of new papillomas, and topical drugs destroy the structure of the papilloma and lead to its spontaneous amputation.
Tablets for papillomas on the body
Tablets are prescribed, if necessary, systemic treatment to block the activity of viral strains. At the same time, they address the problem of treating comorbidities or other predisposing factors that can lead to viral reactivation.
To treat the manifestations of HPV, the following drugs are prescribed:
- Immunostimulating antiviral agents. The active ingredient blocks the activity of the virus causing the disease for a short time. Along with antiviral effects, drugs stimulate the production of their own antibodies to fight viruses and completely destroy viral strains.
- Antiviral drugs of plant origin. Substances that effectively fight viral infections; After a few days of use, they destroy virus strains at the DNA level. These funds were made on the first day of the recurring growth. Side effects include nausea, indigestion, and indigestion in the stool.
- Purine-based synthetic product. The daily dose is 2-3 tablets per day, and in case of severe infection the dosage is increased to 5-6 tablets per day.
- Highly effective immunomodulator. Considering that the growth and reproduction of papillomas is possible only when immunity is impaired, prescribing the drug is symptomatic only. The daily dose is 1 tab. 4 times a day. Tablets are not prescribed during pregnancy and children under 10 years of age.
- Broad-spectrum tablets are highly effective against HPV viruses, fungi, and pathogenic microorganisms. The drug enhances the effect of other antiviral drugs, has practically no contraindications. The course of treatment lasts for 14-21 days.
HPV tablets are taken strictly after the appointment of the attending physician. This is due to the oral route, the gastrointestinal transmission of the drug and the possible negative effect of the tablet on the state of organs and internal systems.
Creams and ointments
Local preparations against papillomas on the body can be used independently at home, which simplifies treatment. Unlike the use of tablets, the ointment acts directly on the papilloma foci, destroys viral DNA and normalizes full cell regeneration.
There are several main medications that can be used at home:
- Salicylic ointment. For treatment, an agent with an active substance concentration of 60% is used. The course of treatment depends on the effectiveness of the therapy. Therefore, treatment continues for 7 to 14 days with a short period, after which treatment can be continued. Salicylic ointment may cause mild tingling, pain, or itching. An affordable and affordable product that will not cause harm, but also has a pronounced bactericidal and regenerating effect.

- Ointment with interferon. Effective topical immunomodulators actively enhance local immunity. The active ingredient is human interferon, which has an antiviral effect. A characteristic feature is that there are no contraindications, therefore, the agent is widely used in pediatric practice.
- Zinc ointment. The drug is effective against many dermatological diseases, including papillomas and warts. Zinc has absorbent, astringent and anti-inflammatory properties. Topical drugs based on zinc oxide, which have a drying effect on papillomas, contribute to the rapid shedding of papillomas.
- Anti-papilloma ointment with salicylic acid in the composition is effective. The preparation is applied 2 times / day with a topical ointment or a cotton swab, avoiding contact with healthy skin.
- Ointments with herbal ingredients. Funds increase local immunity, which increases its own synthesis of interferon. The drug destroys the structure of the papilloma, eliminating not only the external growth, but also the root of the tumor.
- Ointments have a complex composition and antibiotics. The main ingredients are the antibiotics chloramphenicol and methyluracil, which belong to the group of immunomodulatory drugs. Ointment contributes to the normal regeneration of skin cells, normalizes the water balance in the structures of the skin. The general course of treatment is 4 weeks, 2-3 applications per day.
General complex therapy lasts up to several weeks. Patients should take systemic drugs along with local agents to stop the viral process as quickly as possible.
