In the clinic you can remove moles, warts or papillomas of any size. We will examine the skin lesions and choose the appropriate removal method. If there is a suspicion that a mole or papilloma is malignant, after removal we will send it for histological examination.
When to remove moles, warts and papillomas
Warts and papillomas are recommended to be removed in any case. When located in areas that come into contact with clothing, they can be injured and cause pain, or simply look unsightly. In addition, some warts and papillomas tend to increase in size.
With the removal of moles, everything is not so simple. If the mole is flat, uninjured and does not change in size and color, it does not need to be removed. For your own comfort, it is better to remove moles located on the scalp, in contact with clothes and other areas where they are constantly injured.
If you notice the following signs, you should immediately contact a dermatologist:
- the mole has grown rapidly - several millimeters in diameter in a short time;
- darkens and appears shiny or acquires an uneven color;
- start bleeding;
- changing shape;
- hairs fall from moles, even if they grew before.
All these are possible manifestations of the degeneration of moles into malignant neoplasms. If they appear, immediately see 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 additional treatment is needed.
Why do warts appear and how do cauterization 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 spread in many ways, including contact and sexual contact. Although the human immune system works normally, the infection does not show itself in any way, but when the defense is weak, as well as when the provoking factors appear, warts immediately appear on the skin. Neoplasms look like nodules or plaques, which grow over time and merge into colonies.
Factors that provoke the appearance of papillomas and condylomas are:
- Metabolic disorders.
- Weakness 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, because there was no other way to get rid of these problems at that time. Researchers have found it difficult to say why the burning effect of celandine produces such an effect. Some believe that the alkaloids contained in the juice are to blame. Others agree that the cause is the immune system's response to the drug. It works quite effectively on warts, removing them.
The fight against warts should be carried out comprehensively and include not only drugs aimed at eliminating external manifestations, but also drugs to eliminate the causative virus. Celandine belongs to the first category.
What warts can be removed using celandine? This medicine is natural, and therefore it can be used to cure almost any tumor. However there are some exceptions:
- Warts in the intimate area should not be burned, because the skin in this place is quite delicate, and the use of this product will cause burns.
- Celandine does not help in the treatment of malignant formations (oncology).
If you notice warts that are itchy, flaky or swollen, be sure to see a doctor before treating them. You may have a completely different condition unrelated to warts.
Is it necessary to remove the papilloma at all?
Small moles that do not stand out on the surface of the body sometimes look very attractive, which certainly cannot be said about papillomas. They are a source of discomfort because they grow in places where the skin is constantly in contact with clothing and other parts of the body. Papillomas are often injured: when cracked, any of them can be a source of bleeding. Sometimes, when an infectious agent is attached, the papilloma and surrounding tissues become inflamed, which leads to undesirable consequences.
It is known that when the papillomavirus accumulates in warts for a long time, it can cause genetic changes in the epithelial cells of the skin. With a genetic mutation, cells divide uncontrollably and the affected skin area begins to grow. All these factors contribute to the onset of the oncological process, so the papilloma should be removed as soon as possible. In addition, now there are many modern methods that allow you to do this quickly, painlessly and effectively.
How to get rid of warts with celandine
To obtain the active medicine, celandine is collected during the flowering period (May, June) in a clean place away from roads and industrial enterprises. If you have access to such a plant, then the best way to get rid of warts is to burn them with fresh juice 3-5 times a day until the growth disappears.
This removal method is easy and painless. You pick a stem of celandine, and yellow juice immediately appears on the cut. This juice should be applied to warts steamed in hot water (to increase the effect) several times a day.
The juice should be applied directly to the wart, without getting healthy skin. The first growth will be black, then shrink in size and then disappear completely. This is the best and most effective way.
But you can use celandine tincture or oil from it. This is when warts appear in the winter and there is no fresh juice. This preparation is prepared in advance in the summer, and they should plant for 2-3 weeks in a dark place.
This plant is popularly considered a very effective medicine, but there are also contraindications for its use, so you should pay attention to who should not be treated with celandine.
- Individual intolerance.
- During pregnancy.
- Breastfeeding mother.
- Children under 5 years of age.
- For bronchial asthma.
- For epilepsy.
Why do you need to remove papillomas and warts?
For the most part, benign neoplasms such as papillomas and warts do not cause direct harm to 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. Therefore, warts on the legs often tend to develop and over time begin to poison life with pain every day when walking. Warts on the fingers (these often appear in children) or papillomas hanging in skin folds in women can cause soft tissue injuries. For example, if the papilloma is located in the chest or back area, then in the process of constant friction (for example, against a harness or bra fastener), the neoplasm can accidentally be torn off, bleed and become inflamed. Often others begin to appear near one papilloma.
There are more serious reasons for timely tumor removal. Among the various types of papillomaviruses, non-oncogenic, weakly oncogenic and HPV types with a high oncogenic level are known. The latter is at risk of degeneration: a neoplasm that appears due to its fault can, over time, turn from benign to malignant. By removing such tumors in time, skin cancer can be prevented.
The problem also lies in the fact that ordinary people can mistake another more dangerous neoplasm for a papilloma or a wart, and either take self-medication or simply do not pay attention to it. Therefore, with all questions and doubts, it is important to go to a specialist (dermatologist), he will carry out a diagnosis, determine the origin of the tumor, the degree of danger and then suggest the optimal treatment method in this case.
It is strongly not recommended to remove papillomas and warts yourself, without first checking with a specialist: this may not only not bring the desired effect, but also worsen the problem (especially you should not tear or cut the growth).
Cosmetologist's opinion: "Of course, viral warts require timely treatment, otherwise the process can spread significantly throughout the skin and also lead to infection of the surrounding people. For papillomas, formations must be removed to prevent their growth, trauma, possible infectionand for aesthetic reasons.
Recovery period after papilloma removal
Regardless of the surgical method for genital warts used, the procedure is followed by a recovery 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 douche;
- Do not wet the wound after surgery for the first 2-3 days;
- Do not scratch or subject the resulting crust to mechanical impact;
- Maintain regular genital hygiene and treat surgical wounds with prescribed medications.
Compliance with these recommendations will reduce the recovery period and prevent the occurrence of adverse complications (infection, bleeding, wound inflammation after surgery).
