Papilloma is a benign skin growth formed as a result of the proliferation of epithelial cells.
Because of appearance
Benign tumors arise as a result of infection of the body with the papilloma virus. Doctors say that 80% of the country's adult population is a carrier.
In most cases, the virus does not make itself felt, but when the immune system is disrupted, it is activated and papillomas begin to develop. Weakness of the immune system is caused by:
- overwork;
- poor nutrition;
- bad habits;
- pregnancy;
- disease.
If you find a papilloma on your body or face, you should consult a doctor: get an antibody test to the virus, and undergo the suggested treatment. But you can try to overcome folk methods.
Treatment
If you see a doctor, he or she may have different options for solving the problem.
They differ in the degree of tissue damage, the duration of wound healing, the development of complications and effectiveness, these are:
- chemical destruction;
- electrocoagulation;
- cryotherapy;
- laser therapy;
- radio wave surgery;
- electroradiosurgical method;
- photodynamic therapy.
The procedure is expensive, so many people prefer to deal with unpleasant growths themselves.
Adhesive medical tape
Special adhesive medical tapes are sold in pharmacies without a doctor's prescription. It is impregnated with a composition that promotes the removal of papillomas quickly. The treatment is simple - cut a piece of the desired size and attach it to the papilloma, leave it for five days.
Before removing the bandage, soak a small gauze pad in water and apply it to the bandage for five minutes. Remove it with sharp movements, like wax strips for hair removal. In most cases, the strip comes out together with the papilloma.
Product for internal use
Since the papilloma virus is activated when the normal function of the immune system is disturbed, first of all you need to take care of strengthening the immune system. In addition to the medicines prescribed by the doctor, you can use traditional methods: decoctions, infusions, balms.
Vitamin drinks
This drink is a real storehouse of nutrients. To prepare, you will need one tablespoon each of dried rose hips, dried or fresh strawberries, cranberries and chamomile. Put all the components in a thermos, pour a liter of boiling water and let it brew for at least five hours. Then filter the infusion using gauze, add two or three spoons of honey and mix thoroughly. If you are allergic to honey, you can replace it with regular sugar.
This infusion is best made in the evening so that you have a ready drink in the morning. You need to drink it throughout the day.
Herbal infusion
To prepare it, buy nettle, plantain, lemon balm, horsetail and dandelion at the pharmacy. Place a teaspoon of each herb in an enamel pan, add half a liter of water and bring to a boil in a water bath.
As soon as the water boils, turn off the heat, cover the pan with a lid and wrap it with a towel - you need to steep the soup for at least three hours. Then strain, pour into a glass container and place in the refrigerator. Every morning on an empty stomach, drink a third of a glass of this infusion. The entire course should last 10 days, and after a week of rest it must be repeated.
Removing papillomas using walnuts
Walnut is a good folk remedy for papillomas. Both fruit and leaves are used. The only "but" is that walnuts give the treated skin a brown color. Therefore, to remove papillomas in visible places, it is better not to use walnuts.
Walnut ointment
To prepare the ointment, it is best to use slightly unripe walnuts, but if they are not available, ripe ones will also work. Take 10 seeds that have been peeled, pass them through a meat grinder and put them in a glass container. Pour kerosene so that it covers all the nuts. Cover the jar with a lid and place in the refrigerator for three weeks.
After three weeks, strain the resulting mixture through cheesecloth, carefully squeezing out the walnut pulp itself. Pour the resulting liquid back into a glass container. Every evening before going to bed, soak a small gauze pad in it and apply it to the papilloma for 30 minutes.
Please note that napkins dry quickly - they need to be constantly moistened. After about 5 days of treatment, the papilloma will be reduced by half. They will disappear completely within two weeks. If this does not happen, wait a week and repeat the course of treatment.
Walnut puree
This medicine is very similar to the previous one, but it is stronger. Make sure that the mixture does not come into contact with healthy skin, it can damage it. It is best to protect the skin with plastic wrap.
You need to:
- 2-3 peeled walnuts,
- a few tablespoons of apple cider vinegar.
Pass the nuts through a meat grinder - you should get a homogeneous mass. Add a little apple cider vinegar, stir the beans constantly - you should get a homogeneous puree. Before going to bed, after showering, apply a thick layer of this mixture to the papilloma, cover with a cotton pad on top and leave for about 1 hour. Then rinse your skin with water and lubricate with baby cream.
You will see the first improvement no earlier than in a week. But do not be disappointed - the process will go quickly - in just 10-12 days, most papillomas will disappear. If this does not happen, stop the treatment because it is not suitable for you and choose another drug. True, this is very rare.
Peanut-colored alcohol
If your papilloma is still in its early stages, you can act proactively and prevent it from growing. And here the walnut, or rather the tincture made from it, will once again be your ally. It is prepared easily: cut 10 peeled walnuts, put them in a glass jar and pour half a glass of vodka.
It is necessary to plant beans for at least a week and only in a cool and dark place. Be sure to shake the container with the tincture several times a day. It can be filtered before use. The treatment itself is easier than the preparation - you need to lubricate the papilloma with cotton wool soaked in tincture five to six times a day. You will see the results of your efforts within two weeks.
Papilloma treatment with garlic
The healing properties of garlic help people with various diseases, including destroying papillomas. But be careful - the effect of garlic juice is very strong: if it gets on a healthy skin area, an allergic reaction is possible.
Garlic juice
Peel a clove of garlic, cut it in half and squeeze it a little, and rub the extracted juice into each papilloma carefully. This procedure must be done two to three times a day, until the papilloma is completely gone. This usually happens within two to three weeks. This medicine only helps if the papilloma has arisen relatively recently and has not yet reached a large size.
Garlic with honey
If pure garlic juice causes too much discomfort, you can try replacing it with garlic puree and honey. Please note - honey should not be used if you are allergic to it. Replace with sunflower oil.
To prepare this remedy, peel a few cloves of garlic (depending on the number and size of the papilloma), then go through a garlic press and add a little honey or butter - you should get a mass of creamy consistency. Twice a day - morning and evening - apply a thick layer of this mixture on the papilloma. Cover the top of the garlic mass with a gauze napkin and leave for about 15 minutes. Then rinse your skin with water and let it dry without wiping.
The papilloma will begin to shrink in size on the second or third day. But do not stop treatment until the last papilloma disappears - this will take about 20 days. If the papilloma does not disappear during this period, you can try to repeat the treatment again, resting for a week before doing it.
Garlic ointment
Helps remove even old papillomas. To prepare it, peel a clove of garlic, chop it and mix well with a teaspoon of baby cream. Apply a thick layer of ointment to each papilloma, place a layer of gauze and plastic wrap on top, secure with adhesive tape and leave for two hours.
There should not be any unpleasant sensations - a slight tingling sensation. If your skin is too sensitive, wash off the ointment immediately with cool, clean water. Do not use this product again.
If everything goes well, continue the treatment: do the procedure twice a day for one week. Then take a three-day break and repeat the treatment.
Treatment of papilloma with celandine
Celandine is an aggressive product that can damage the healthy skin around the papilloma. Therefore, use products with it carefully, precisely.
Celandine juice
Choose a plant and carefully rub each papilloma with the juice that appears on the stem. The first week, wipe them every three hours, in the second and third weeks - three times a day. In about a month, the neoplasm will disappear.
Stain celandine with alcohol
Cut the celandine and put three tablespoons of chopped plants in a glass container, pour half a glass of water and half a glass of vodka. Close the container tightly and put it in the refrigerator for five days. Do not forget to shake the medicine periodically during this time.
Twice a day, morning and evening, make a compress - soak a piece of cotton wool in the infusion, apply it to the papilloma, cover it with plastic wrap and secure it with a bandage or plaster. The compression period is 15 minutes. Rinse the papilloma with cold water, let the skin dry and lubricate with normal baby cream. Treatment should last for three weeks.
Celandine extract
Cut 150 grams of fresh celandine, place in a small enamel container and pour a glass of boiling water. After the water has cooled to room temperature, bring the infusion to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until most of the water has boiled away - a quarter of the original amount should remain.
Cover the pan with a lid and wrap it with a terry towel, leave it for 10 hours. Then strain the broth and squeeze the celandine. Pour the resulting product into a glass container and store in the refrigerator. Every morning and every evening, make a compress - soak a gauze pad in the broth and apply it to the papilloma for 10 minutes. Treatment must be continued until the papilloma is completely gone.
Other recipes
Allergy sufferers and those who cannot stand the smell of garlic can use other recipes - the effectiveness is about the same.
Egg white
All you need is the white film that remains inside the raw egg shell. Collect it on a cotton swab and carefully lubricate all the papillomas. Do not wet the papilloma for about one and a half to two hours. Repeat this procedure twice a day - morning and evening. On average, papilloma treatment takes about one month.
ice cubes
Buy chaga, tali and celandine at the pharmacy. Put half a teaspoon of each plant in a thermos, pour a glass of boiling water and cover with a lid, leave for 8 hours.
Then filter the sauce well, pour it into an ice tray and put it in the fridge. Every evening, apply one herbal ice cube to each papilloma and leave until the ice melts completely.
Oil
Castor oil and tea tree oil help get rid of papillomas in a short time. For starters, you should try castor oil, which is milder. Rub the oil into the papilloma two to three times a day - after three to four weeks it will begin to disappear.
If that doesn't help, start applying tea tree essential oil. Soak cotton in oil and carefully, avoiding oil on healthy skin, lubricate the papilloma. Repeat this procedure once a day and within two weeks the papilloma will disappear.
Potato juice
Wash one small potato thoroughly, peel and grate on a fine grater. Using gauze, squeeze the potato juice and drink. Apply the pulp to the papilloma and cover the top with a plastic bag, securing it with an adhesive plaster.
Aloe Vera
Treatment will be effective only if the plant is older than five years. Cut the leaves in half and apply the cut to the papilloma, secure with adhesive tape and leave for three hours. Do the procedure every day - in about a week you will see the results.
Banana skin
The treatment is very simple - wipe the papilloma with a banana peel as often as possible. When you go to work, cut the banana peel into small pieces and put them in a small container. You will be able to leave the office regularly and eliminate papillomas. Treatment lasts about two to three weeks.
Eggshell powder
You will need two eggshells, adhesive bandages and medical cotton wool. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees, place the scallops on a baking sheet and place in the oven for about 30 minutes. Then, when the eggshells have cooled, grind them in a coffee grinder or mortar. Tear cotton wool into small pieces and prepare an adhesive plaster. Sprinkle each papilloma with powder, cover the top with cotton wool and secure with a band-aid. Change the bandage every three days; in total, you should wear the compress for two to three weeks. Store eggshell powder in a glass or plastic container with an airtight lid.
