Characteristics and methods of infection
This type of infection is distinguished from other growths by a rough surface. The color is different: from light, almost white to dark brown. They can appear in different places of the human body: on the face - in the eye area, most often not on the eyelids, neck, armpits, chest and under it, but the most terrible thing is the appearance on the genitals.

common warts
These formations have another name - vulgar papilloma. They often occur on the neck, arms and knees. The growths are not very large in diameter.

How to treat
If you suspect you are a carrier of a viral infection, seek professional help immediately. It is easier to prevent the appearance of new neoplasms than to get rid of those that have already appeared. Using a simple blood test and a stain from the genitals, a specialist will accurately confirm or deny the presence of a disease in your body. The virus has more than 60 strains. But the real risk is only half.
Get rid of pre-existing growth in several ways:
- surgical
- LASER
- CHEMICAL
- medicinal
- popular ways
Now let's look at each of these methods in more detail.
If you are a carrier of uterine papilloma, then you can not do without surgery. The formation affects the mucous surface of the genitals, the doctor cleans the cavity, using hysteroscopy. The procedure is performed under complete anesthesia. The doctor uses special equipment and cuts the resulting endometrium, after which an excision is made. The surgical method is not popular in treating the affected external areas, as the procedure itself is not pleasant and leaves scars.
Beauty salons use laser treatment. This technology does not cause significant inconvenience and does not require hospitalization of the patient. This method is used when it is necessary to remove the growth in the open part of the body. The operation itself is performed without anesthesia. The client lies comfortably in a special chair and the doctor touches the wart with a special device that emits a laser beam. The root of the formation is removed and cauterized at the same time, thus eliminating bleeding. This way, you can remove one cluster, or several at a time.
Exposure to chemicals is carried out in the most extreme cases, if a person is hit by a malignant formation. In this case, a drug is administered intravenously to the patient, which affects the entire body of the patient. It is very dangerous as it has many side effects. When neoplasms appear in the cervix, a chemical method of exposure is used. With the difference that the drug is not injected into the blood, but is applied in a swab and applied to the formation. Note that large doses of this medicine are very toxic. This type of treatment is categorically not recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding women.
Doctors also use traditional correction. But before a final diagnosis can be made, it is necessary to reliably determine the type and type of virus. After that, antibacterial and antiviral drugs are prescribed. In addition, immunomodulatory therapy is necessarily used. Only a doctor will prescribe medication, but keep in mind that both partners should be treated immediately.
Even famous doctors often turn to traditional medicine and you should not ignore it. You can try to remove papillomas at home. The first recipe from our grandmothers: garlic and celandine. Celandine is bought at the pharmacy, with garlic, I think it is even easier for every housewife to have it on hand. A few drops of celandine and the juice of a clove of garlic will suffice. Every day, before going to bed, apply a cotton swab soaked in this composition in an unwanted process. We advise you to apply a new makeup over and over again.
