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 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 of 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, is not injured and does not change its size and color, it does not need to be removed. For your own comfort, it is better to remove moles that are located on the scalp, in places of contact with clothing and other areas where they are constantly injured.
If you notice the following signs, you should immediately contact a dermatologist:
- the mole has grown sharply - several millimeters in diameter in a short time;
- became dark and seemed to be glossy or acquired an uneven color;
- began to bleed;
- changed shape;
- hairs fell out of the mole, although they were growing before.
All of these are possible manifestations of the degeneration of a mole into a malignant neoplasm. 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 find out whether the mole has really turned into a tumor and whether 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 is working 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, which grow over time and merge into colonies.
The provoking factors for the appearance of papillomas and condylomas are:
- Metabolic disorders.
- Weakening of the immune system.
- Sweating caused by wearing too 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 combat various skin diseases, since there were simply no other ways to get rid of these problems at that time. Researchers find 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 reason is the immune system’s reaction to the drug. It works quite effectively on warts, removing them.
The fight against warts should be carried out comprehensively and include not only medications aimed at eliminating external manifestations, but also medications to get rid of the causative virus. Celandine belongs to the first category.
What warts can be removed using celandine? This remedy is natural, and therefore it can be used to cure almost any tumor. However there are some 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 itches, peels or swells, 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 at all?
Small moles that do not protrude above 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 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 attached, the papilloma and surrounding tissues become inflamed, which leads to undesirable consequences.
It is known that when 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 onset of the oncological process, so papillomas should be gotten rid of 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 collected during its 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 cauterize them with fresh juice 3-5 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 wart steamed in hot water (to enhance the effect) several times a day.
The juice should be applied directly to the wart, without getting on 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 they should infuse for 2-3 weeks in a dark place.
This plant is popularly considered to be a very effective remedy, 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 everyday pain when walking. Warts on the fingers (these often appear in children) or hanging papillomas in the folds of the skin in women can lead to injury to soft tissues. For example, if papillomas are located in the chest or back area, then in the process of 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 one papilloma.
There is an even more serious reason for timely removal of tumors. Among the numerous strains of papillomavirus, non-oncogenic, weakly oncogenic and types of HPV with a high level of oncogenicity are known. The latter are at risk of degeneration: neoplasms that appear due to their fault can, over time, turn from benign to malignant. By removing such tumors in a timely manner, skin cancer can be prevented.
The problem also lies in the fact that an ordinary person can mistake another, more dangerous neoplasm for a papilloma or wart, and either take up self-medication or simply not pay attention to it. Therefore, with all questions and doubts, it is important to go to a specialist (dermatologist), he will conduct a diagnosis, determine the origin of the tumors, the degree of danger and then suggest treatment methods that are optimal in this case.
It is highly not recommended to remove papillomas and warts on your own, without first examining a specialist: this may not only not bring the desired effect, but also aggravate the problem (especially you should not rip off or cut off the growths).
Opinion of a cosmetologist: "Of course, viral warts require timely treatment, otherwise the process can spread significantly 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 which method of surgery for genital warts is used, the procedure is followed by a course of rehabilitation, during which the patient should adhere to the following recommendations:
- Refrain from intimacy;
- Women are not recommended to use vaginal suppositories and tampons;
- Do not douche;
- Do not wet the postoperative wound during 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 adverse complications (infection, bleeding, inflammation of the postoperative wound).
