It is necessary to acquire preparations for warts with knowledge of the matter. The best solution is to consult a doctor who will examine your condition with papillomas and prescribe the appropriate medications. Self-medication can lead to a worsening of the situation and cause a number of side effects. For the treatment of warts, many consider drug exposure to be the most optimal. Therefore, we will consider some medications and help you choose medications for warts.
Forms of drug release.
With warts, most people prefer to treat them with the help of pharmaceuticals. However, the possibility of using traditional medicine should not be excluded.
Indeed, in terms of the effectiveness of the impact on the wart, traditional medicine can demonstrate results no worse than a number of pharmaceuticals. Traditional medicine removes the wart gradually and safely. But for many, it is the duration of treatment that becomes the main reason for abandoning traditional medicine in favor of drug treatment.
Going to the pharmacy kiosk to buy medicines, you should know that there are a number of forms for the release of medicines. Which drug you will use largely depends on the doctor's conclusions and his financial capabilities.
There are the following forms of release of pharmaceuticals for the treatment of papillomas and warts:
- Solutions for papillomas and warts. For the most part, these are cauterizing, keratolic or mummifying drugs that have a devastating effect on the body of the papilloma. They should be applied carefully, without affecting healthy skin. Some over-the-counter wart solutions are sold only by prescription or require professional application. That is, they are not used at home, but only a doctor applies the remedy.
- Ointment and cream. They have a fat base, which allows the active ingredients to be gradually absorbed into the skin. They rank second in popularity among pharmaceutical remedies for papillomas and warts after solutions. The objective disadvantage of creams and ointments is that after their application the skin dries for a long time and absorbs fat, which can leave marks on clothes.
- tablets. With warts, doctors often prescribe a complex treatment. The main place here is occupied by antiviral and immunomodulatory drugs. Some of them are sold in tablet form. They can be used as an independent remedy if there is no need to quickly get rid of papillomas.
- Gel. It is characterized by a fast action due to its composition and absorption capacity. Gels are not used so often, since their range in combating papillomas is negligible. But it has certain advantages over ointment or cream.
- Oil. Despite the oily consistency, these drugs can be characterized by an aggressive effect. These do not include essential oils, which are often used to treat and remove papillomas.
- Freezing spray. The freezer is becoming more and more popular. Such funds replace a trip to the clinic for cryodestruction. Home freezing with liquid nitrogen does not require special skills. It is only necessary to strictly follow the manufacturer's instructions for use.
- Plasters from warts and papillomas. Their advantage is that they perform two functions at the same time. The impregnation of the patch has a destructive effect on the papilloma, and the patch itself closes the growth from external influences or possible accidental damage. And they rarely need to be changed, which simplifies the treatment process.
- pencils. Designed for localized application in areas of the skin affected by warts. The pencils are easy to use, but potentially harmful to healthy skin. Therefore, it is not recommended to apply the drug with a pencil to the skin near the papilloma.
folk remedies
It is worth noting right away that the treatment of warts in children without proper experience or knowledge at home is not recommended. If your child has warts, take him to the doctor first.
The children's body is able to quickly adapt and resist the papillomavirus in a natural way. That is, in many cases, warts do not need treatment. They are self-absorbed within 1-2 years after onset.
If the doctor deems it necessary, he will prescribe antiviral agents for the child, topical preparations to speed up the treatment process. In situations that require surgical intervention, radio wave excision, laser removal, or professional cryodestruction will be the best solution.
If you, as an adult, come across papillomas, then you should not count on their self-resorption. First try medical treatment for warts and if it doesn't help then you should resort to removal.
How can warts be removed? We offer a list of some drugs that are popular and effectively affect the papillomavirus problem. But the use of any of them requires prior consultation with specialists.
- A solution with a cauterizing effect, which is distinguished by an oily base and a rather pungent smell. But an unpleasant smell can be tolerated, since the drug is highly effective and can eliminate small papillomas literally in one application. Children's medicine is contraindicated. Be sure to treat the skin around the neoplasm on which the solution is applied with any fat cream or simple oil.
- Antiviral drug for warts. The effectiveness of the drug is due to the fact that it is based on synthesized interferon. This is a substance that our body produces to combat pests, including the papilloma virus. By increasing the level of concentration of the protective protein interferon, it is possible to eliminate papillomas in a fairly short period of time. Also, the product is safe for healthy skin. The course of treatment is prescribed individually, but should not exceed 30 days.
- The most popular, effective and therefore popular wart pills. The drug helps to increase the protective functions of the body and restore the immune system. The course lasts 2 weeks, after which you need to take a month-long break and repeat the course again to consolidate the result.
- Herbal remedy for papillomas, presented in the form of a gel. Its application allows us to improve the production of interferon, the natural protective protein of our body. Due to this, the warts disappear within a week. The course of treatment lasts up to 10 days. The skin should be treated no more than 5 times during the day. The gel is characterized by its composition, which allows active substances to penetrate deep into the skin and directly negatively affect the root of the papilloma.
- Beaver oil. A fairly cheap drug for papillomas, which shows itself best in the fight against neoplasms on the hands. The oil is rubbed into the skin every day until the growths are completely gone. But the treatment can last about a month.
- Iodine. Another cheap pharmacy drug that destroys the wart, helps it dry out and fall off. Iodine should be applied no more than 2-3 times during the day, and the course should be continued for a maximum of 10 days.
- Freeze pharmacy spray, which comes with applicators to apply the product and detailed instructions for use. Contraindicated in people under 4 years of age.
In no case should you self-medicate papillomas and warts. Consult a doctor who will give specific and optimal recommendations on the choice of pharmaceutical preparations and drugs.
