Papillomas and warts are benign neoplasms located on the skin or mucous membranes, small in size and round in shape.
The reason for the appearance of this type of formation is infection by the papilloma virus (HPV), which occupies a leading position in the ranking of the most common diseases on Earth. There are two main routes of transmission of HPV:
- Contact - household;
- Sexual.
The danger of papillomatosis is the development of the malignancy process (transformation of a benign neoplasm into an oncological tumor).
Infection by oncogenic HPV strains, as well as growth injury, can cause the process of malignancy. Usually wart growths grow slowly, but if the body's defenses are weakened, a full immune response is not formed, the process of increasing the size and number of growths can be accelerated.
Medical centers and clinics offer radical methods to eliminate the external signs of papillomatosis. However, conservative home treatment will be just as effective.
Important!Before beginning self-treatment for papillomatosis, you should consult a dermatologist.
The doctor will conduct the necessary clinical studies, make the correct diagnosis, clarify the HPV strain of the pathogen, and recommend the most effective drugs to eliminate skin defects.
Medical care should not be neglected, as improper self-selected treatment can lead to the development of a malignancy.
Do not try to cut the papilloma. This can lead to its spread and degeneration into an oncological tumor. Also, do not try to remove growths located on the mucous membranes of the larynx, eyes, or genitals at home.
