In the clinic, you can remove a mole, wart or papilloma of any size. We will examine the skin lesion and select the appropriate removal method. If there is suspicion that a mole or papilloma is malignant, after its removal, we will send it for histological examination.
When to remove moles, warts and papillomas
It is recommended to remove warts and papillomas in any case. When located in areas of contact with clothing, they can be injured and cause pain, or simply look unsightly. In addition, some warts and papillomas tend to enlarge.
With the removal of moles, everything is not so simple. If the mole is flat, is not injured and does not change in size and color, there is no need to remove it. For your own comfort, it is better to remove moles located on the scalp, in places of contact with clothing and in other areas where they are constantly injured.
If you notice the following signs, you should contact a dermatologist immediately:
- the mole has grown strongly - several millimeters in diameter in a short time;
- became dark and appeared shiny or acquired an uneven color;
- started to bleed;
- changed shape;
- hair has fallen out of the mole, even if it was growing before.
All of these are possible manifestations of the degeneration of a mole into a malignant tumor. If they appear, immediately consult a doctor: he will examine the mole under a special microscope - a dermatoscope, remove it if necessary, and then send the material for histological examination. This will help you know if the mole has actually turned into a tumor and if further treatment is needed.
Why do warts appear and how do cauterizing agents act on them?
Such skin defects appear 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. Although 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 that grow over time and coalesce into colonies.
The factors provoking the appearance of papillomas and condyloma are:
- Metabolic disorders.
- Weakening of the immune system.
- Sweating caused by wearing clothes or shoes that are too hot.
- 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 struggle to explain why the burning effect of celandine produces such an effect. Some believe that the alkaloids in the juice are the cause. Others agree that the reason is the immune system's reaction to the drug. It acts very effectively on warts and eliminates them.
The fight against warts should be carried out comprehensively and include not only drugs aimed at eliminating external manifestations, but also drugs aimed at eliminating the offending 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 certain exceptions:
- Warts in the intimate area cannot be cauterized, since the skin in these places is quite delicate and the use of this product will lead to burns.
- Celandine does not help in the treatment of malignant (oncological) formations.
If you notice that the wart is itchy, peeling, or swollen, be sure to 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 moles that do not protrude above the surface of the body sometimes look very attractive, which is certainly not the case with papillomas. They cause discomfort because they grow in places where the skin is in constant contact with clothing 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 added to it, the papilloma and surrounding tissues become inflamed, which leads to undesirable consequences.
It is known that when the papillomavirus accumulates for a long time in a wart, it can cause genetic changes in the epithelial cells of the skin. With a genetic mutation, cells divide uncontrollably and the affected area of skin begins to grow. All these factors contribute to the occurrence of the oncological process, so 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 drug, celandine is harvested during its flowering period (May, June) in clean places away from roads and industrial enterprises. If you have access to such plants, the best method to remove 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 pick a stem of celandine and yellow juice immediately appears on its cut. This juice should be applied to the steamed wart in hot water (to enhance the effect) several times a day.
The juice should be applied directly to the wart, without touching healthy skin. The growth will first turn black, then decrease in size and disappear completely. This is the best and most effective way.
But you can use celandine tincture or oil. This is when warts appear in winter and there is no fresh juice. These preparations are prepared in advance in summer and must infuse for 2 to 3 weeks in a dark place.
This plant is generally considered a very effective remedy, but there are also contraindications to its use, so you should be careful about which ones should not be treated with celandine.
- Individual intolerance.
- During pregnancy.
- Breastfeeding mothers.
- Children under 5 years old.
- For bronchial asthma.
- For epilepsy.
Why should papillomas and warts be removed?
For the most part, benign tumors such as papillomas and warts do not directly harm 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. So, a wart on the foot often tends to grow and, over time, begins to poison life with daily pain when walking. Warts on the fingers (they often appear in children) or papillomas hanging in the folds of the skin in women can lead to soft tissue damage. For example, if the papillomas are located in the chest or back, then with constant friction (for example, against a harness or bra clasp), the neoplasms can accidentally be torn off, bleed and become inflamed. Often others begin to appear near a papilloma.
There is an even more serious reason for the rapid removal of tumors. Among the numerous strains of papillomaviruses, non-oncogenic HPV types, weakly oncogenic and with a high level of oncogenicity are known. The latter are at risk of degeneration: the neoplasms that appear due to them can, over time, go from benign to malignant. By eliminating these tumors in time, skin cancer can be avoided.
The problem also lies in the fact that an ordinary person can confuse another, more dangerous tumor with a papilloma or wart and either self-medicate or simply not pay attention to it. Therefore, in case of questions and doubts, it is important to consult a specialist (dermatologist), he will make a diagnosis, determine the origin of tumors, the degree of danger and then offer the optimal treatment methods in this case.
It is strongly not recommended to remove papillomas and warts yourself, without first consulting a specialist: this may not only not bring the desired effect, but also aggravate the problem (especially you should not tear off or cut thegrowths).
Opinion of a cosmetologist: "Of course, viral warts require timely treatment, otherwise the process can significantly spread throughout the skin and also lead to infection of surrounding people. 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 surgical method used for genital warts, the procedure is followed by a rehabilitation course, during which the patient must adhere to the following recommendations:
- Refrain from intimacy;
- Women are not recommended to use vaginal suppositories and tampons;
- Don't shower;
- Do not wet the postoperative wound for the first 2-3 days;
- Do not scratch or subject the resulting crust to mechanical impact;
- 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 unwanted complications (infection, bleeding, inflammation of the postoperative wound).
