Papillomas are benign formations that can be localized anywhere on the skin and mucous membranes. To remove them, different means and methods are used - medications, medicinal plants, surgical removal. Treatment of papillomas with folk remedies is more often used when localizing formations on the skin and is carried out at home.
Folk remedies for papillomas are not always effective enough, therefore it is better to supplement them with other methods of treatment
Papillomas: what is it and how to treat it
Papillomas are benign neoplasms that result from increased proliferation of epithelial cells. They can appear anywhere on the body:
- face - most often near the eyes;
- neck;
- chest, abdomen, back;
- lower and upper limbs;
- anogenital zone;
- the mucous membrane of the genitals - the walls of the vagina and the cervix in women, the penis in men;
- the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract.
In most cases, the cause of the formation is papillomaviruses (human papillomavirus, HPV). The disease can develop in both adults and children.
Treatment has two main directions: removal of papillomas and the fight against viral infection (including strengthening the immune system). For this, different methods can be used, including recipes for traditional medicine. The most effective is a combined approach to treatment, that is, a combination of different methods.
Folk recipes: pros and cons
Using folk remedies is just one treatment option.
The main advantage of traditional medicine is affordability. You can be treated at home, while the treatment does not require special costs.
There are also disadvantages that limit the use of folk recipes:
- Getting rid of warts can take several months; the disease cannot be quickly cured. But even with long-term treatment, there is no guarantee of success.
- The use of aggressive agents can lead to skin burns and the development of other complications.
- When treating, contraindications to the use of certain medicinal herbs are often not taken into account, therefore, allergic reactions and side effects from the digestive tract may develop.
Thus, treatment with folk remedies will not allow you to quickly get rid of papillomas. However, with the right approach, home treatment can be effective.
What principles should be followed when choosing a therapy:
- a combination of products for internal and external use;
- taking into account contraindications for use;
- the regularity of the use of funds.
Classification

| For indoor use |
Medicines for internal use act systemically, that is, they affect all organs and systems of the body. For treatment, agents are used that help the body fight a viral infection: · Containing vitamins A and C; · Possessing immunomodulatory properties; · Have a reparative effect. |
For systemic therapy, decoctions and infusions are most often used. |
| For external use |
Medicines for external use are not absorbed into the general bloodstream, therefore they act locally on papilloma. Funds are used that lead to the destruction of the build-up. At the 2nd stage of treatment (after removal of the formation), substances with reparative properties are used. |
Local therapy is carried out using lotions, applications, ointments. |
