Papillomas and warts are benign neoplasms located on the skin or mucous membranes, small in size, round in shape.
The reason for the appearance of such formations is infection with the papillomavirus (HPV), which occupies a leading position in the ranking of the most common diseases on Earth. There are two main routes of HPV transmission:
- Contact - household;
- Sexual.
The danger of papillomatosis is the development of the process of malignancy (transformation of a benign neoplasm into an oncological tumor).
Infection with oncogenic strains of HPV, as well as damage to growth, can trigger the malignancy process. Usually, the growth of warts develops slowly, but if the body's defenses weaken, a full-fledged immune response is not formed, the process of increasing the size and number of growths may be accelerated. .
Medical centers and clinics offer radical methods to get rid of the external signs of papillomatosis. However, conservative treatment at home will be just as effective.
Important!Before starting self-treatment of papillomatosis, you should consult a dermatologist.
The doctor will carry out the necessary clinical studies, establish the correct diagnosis, clarify the HPV strain of the pathogen and recommend the most effective drugs for removing skin defects.
Medical care should not be neglected, as incorrect self-selected treatment can lead to the development of a malignant tumor.
Do not try to cut the papilloma. This can cause them to spread and degenerate into an oncological tumor. Also, do not try to remove growths located on the lining of the larynx, eyes, or genitals at home.
