What is papilloma?

Often on the face or body of a person, you can see small, wart-like bulges: hanging "on a leg" or on a wide base. Little does not happen, I thought, until I collided myself with such here "warts". It turns out that these growths are nothing more than papillomas.

Papillomas are benign tumors, they have different origin, different sizes, shapes and even color. Most often, papillomas are found on the skin of a person, but sometimes they affect the mucous membrane. They can be both congenital and acquired. And you can buy them in two ways: either through direct external contact with the carrier of the infection (yes, it is an infection!), Or as a result of sexual contact again with an infected person.


If you take the external papilloma, then when it appears, you can feel a small roughness or roughness. Often they can grow rapidly enough in size, giving a far from aesthetic appearance, and sometimes remain unobtrusive and, in general, do not interfere with life. The color of these growths varies from white and white-pink to dark-brown.

However, it is worth remembering that the papilloma is not as safe as it seems. Despite its good quality, it has the property of degenerating into a malignant, and the person himself can contribute a lot to this. How exactly? Yes, it's very simple!

Man is peculiar: everything that interferes with, it is necessary to pick off, scratch, and this categorically can not be done with papillomas. And if they are not removed, then constant, sometimes accidental injury can lead to sad consequences, namely: the degeneration of a benign tumor into a malignant one.

To papillomavirus, and that is how it is called in humans, the most vulnerable are people with weakened immunity, those who abuse alcohol and smoke a lot lead a promiscuous sex life. In general, the best prevention will be putting things in order in your body.

In connection with the fact that papillomas still carry the risk of degeneration into a malignant formation, it is better with them, of course, not to live, but to remove from sight. Only it is worth noting that the removal does not mean completely getting rid of this infection. Infection in the body can wander for several years, and sometimes there are relapses and can be found again on your body or on the mucosa is an unpleasant new growth.

However, do not engage in self-medication, that is self-isolation. In no case should not bind the papilloma with strings and ropes, try to cut them or rip them yourself. God forbid! The most that you can do yourself is to lubricate them with the juice of celandine, which is sold in the pharmacy. Only its effectiveness is questioned, but, nevertheless, the instructions for the use of celandine shows its use in order to get rid of papillomas and other varieties of warts.

If a papilloma is found, it is best to contact a specialist - a dermatologist, who will approach this problem from a professional point of view, and, depending on where the papilloma is located and what it is, will direct it to removal.

Such an operation is done under local anesthesia. And for this it is not necessary to go to the hospital. Now this procedure is carried out in many beauty salons, its duration is 10-30 minutes (can vary depending on the method of removal). After removal, the place where the papilloma was, heals quickly enough, and in 2 weeks only memories will remain.

The most common ways to remove papillomas are: freezing, laser treatment. And laser therapy has the shortest recovery period. But to use chemical means is not necessary, since serious burns are possible, after which scars may remain, which is also unattractive. If they burn with nitrogen, then because of its superficial action, it may take many sessions until you achieve the desired effect.

So, if the papilloma has already become an uninvited guest, then do not hesitate and go to the doctor. If so far everything is good, then do not neglect the simple, but effective measures to prevent this virus. Maintain your immunity: if necessary, take immunomodulators and multivitamin complexes. Observe hygiene, lead a discriminating sexual life, without neglecting the appropriate means of contraception.

Be healthy!
