In the clinic you can remove a mole, wart or papilloma of any size. We will examine the skin lesion and choose the appropriate method of removal. If a mole or papilloma is suspected to be 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 they are in areas of contact with clothing, they can hurt and cause pain, or just 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, does not hurt and does not change its size and color, it does not need to be removed. For your comfort, it is better to remove moles located on the scalp, in places of contact with clothing and other areas where they are constantly hurt.
If you notice the following signs, you should immediately contact a dermatologist:
- the mole has grown significantly - several millimeters in diameter in a short time;
- became dark and appeared to be shiny or took on an uneven color;
- began to bleed;
- changed form;
- the hairs fell out of the mole, even though they were growing before.
All these are possible manifestations of the degeneration of a mole into a malignant neoplasm. If they appear, consult a doctor immediately: 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 find out if the mole has really turned into a tumor and if additional 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 many ways, including contact and sexual contact. While the human immune system works normally, the infection does not appear in any way, but when the defense is weakened, as well as when provocative factors appear, warts immediately appear on the skin. Neoplasms look like nodules or plaques, which grow over time and merge into colonies.
Provocative factors for the appearance of papillomas and condylomas are:
- Metabolic disorders.
- Weakening of the immune system.
- Sweating caused by wearing very warm clothes or shoes.
- 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 fight various skin diseases, since there were simply no other ways to get rid of these problems at that time. Researchers have a hard time saying 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 reason is the immune system's reaction to the drug. It works quite effectively on warts, removing them.
The fight against warts must be carried out comprehensively and include not only drugs aimed at eliminating external manifestations, but also drugs to get rid of the causative virus. Celandine belongs to the first category.
What warts can be removed using celandine? This medicine is natural and therefore can be used to cure almost any tumor. However, there are some exceptions:
- Warts in the intimate area cannot be cauterized, as 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 itches, peels or swells, be sure to consult a doctor before treating it. You probably have a completely different condition unrelated to warts.
Is it necessary to remove papillomas at all?
Small moles that do not protrude above the surface of the body sometimes look very attractive, which of course cannot be said about papillomas. They are a source of concern 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, each of them can become a source of bleeding. Sometimes, when an infectious agent is attached, the papilloma and the surrounding tissues become inflamed, which leads to undesirable consequences.
It is known that when the papillomavirus accumulates inside a wart 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 area of the skin begins to grow. All these factors contribute to the initiation of the oncological process, so papillomas must 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 remove a wart with celandine
To obtain the active medicine, celandine is collected during the flowering period (May, June) in clean places away from roads and industrial enterprises. If you have access to such plants, then the best method for removing warts is to stimulate them with fresh juice 3-5 times a day until the growth disappears.
This removal method is simple and painless. You pick a stalk of celandine and the yellow liquid immediately appears on its cut. This liquid should be applied to the wart steamed in hot water (to increase the effect) several times a day.
The liquid should be applied directly to the wart, without touching healthy skin. The growth will first turn black, then decrease 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 winter and there is no fresh juice. These preparations are prepared in advance in the summer and should be placed for 2-3 weeks in a dark place.
This plant is widely 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.
- Nursing mothers.
- Children under 5 years old.
- 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. Thus, a wart on the foot often tends to grow and over time begins to poison life with daily pain while walking. Warts on the fingers (these often appear in children) or papillomas hanging in skin folds in women can lead to soft tissue damage. For example, if the papillomas are located in the chest or back area, then in the process of constant friction (for example, against a harness or bra clasp), neoplasms can accidentally break off, bleed and become inflamed. Often others begin to appear next to a papilloma.
There is an even more serious reason for the timely removal of tumors. Among the many strains of papillomavirus, non-oncogenic, weakly oncogenic and HPV types with a high level of oncogenicity are known. The latter are at risk of degeneration: the neoplasms that appear because of themselves, over time can turn from benign to malignant. By removing such tumors in time, skin cancer can be prevented.
The problem also lies in the fact that an ordinary person can confuse another neoplasm, more dangerous for a papilloma or wart, and either take self-medication or simply not pay attention. Therefore, with all questions and doubts, it is important to go to a specialist (dermatologist), he will make a diagnosis, determine the origin of tumors, the degree of risk and then suggest the optimal treatment methodsin this case.
It is not highly recommended to remove papillomas and warts yourself, without first examining a specialist: this may not only not bring the desired effect, but also worsen the problem (especially you should not tear or cut the growths).
The 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 the 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 which method of surgery for genital warts is used, 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 suppositories and vaginal tampons;
- Do not wash;
- Do not wet the wound after the operation during the first 2-3 days;
- Do not scratch or subject the resulting crust to mechanical impact;
- Maintain genital hygiene regularly and treat the surgical wound with prescribed medications.
Compliance with these recommendations will reduce the recovery period and prevent the occurrence of negative complications (infection, bleeding, inflammation of the wound after surgery).
