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 there is a suspicion that a mole or papilloma is malignant, after removal we send it for a 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 injure themselves 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, not injured, and does not change its size or color, it does not need to be removed. For your own comfort, moles located on the scalp, in places of contact with clothing and other places where they are constantly injured, it is better to remove them.
If you notice the following signs, contact a dermatologist immediately:
- the mole has grown rapidly - several millimeters in diameter in a short time;
- became dark and appeared shiny or uneven in color;
- started bleeding;
- changed shape;
- hairs were falling out from the moles, even though they had grown before.
All of these are possible manifestations of the degeneration of moles 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 if the mole has actually turned into a tumor and if further treatment is needed.
Why do warts appear and how do cauterization agents work on them?
Such skin defects are caused by the action of the papilloma virus, 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 manifest itself at all, 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.
Provocative factors for the appearance of papillomas and condylomas are:
- Metabolic disorders.
- Weakening of the immune system.
- Sweating caused by wearing too warm clothing 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, because at that time there were simply no other ways to get rid of these problems. It's hard for researchers to say why burning 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 drugs aimed at eliminating external manifestations, but also drugs to eliminate the causative agent of the virus. Celandine belongs to the first category.
Which warts can be removed with celandine? This medicine is natural and therefore can be used to treat almost all tumors. However, there are some exceptions:
- Warts in the intimate area cannot be cauterized, because the skin in those places is quite sensitive, 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 treatment. You probably have a completely different condition that is 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 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 they are 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 unwanted consequences.
It is known that when the papilloma virus accumulates inside the 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 skin area begins to grow. All these factors contribute to the onset of the oncological process, so the papilloma should be removed as soon as possible. In addition, now there are many modern methods that allow you to do it quickly, painlessly and efficiently.
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 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 scalded in hot water (to enhance the effect) several times a day.
The juice 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 efficient way.
But you can use celandine tincture or celandine oil. Then warts appear in the winter and there is no fresh juice. These preparations are prepared in advance during the summer and should stand for 2-3 weeks in a dark place.
This plant is considered a very effective medicine among the people, 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.
- Breastfeeding mothers.
- Children under 5 years old.
- For bronchial asthma.
- For epilepsy.
Why do you need to remove papillomas and warts?
Generally, 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. Therefore, the wart on the foot often tends to grow and over time begins to poison life with daily pain when walking. Warts on fingers (which often occur in children) or hanging papillomas in skin folds in women can lead to soft tissue injuries. For example, if papillomas are located in the chest or back area, then in the process of constant friction (for example, against a belt or a bra buckle), neoplasms can accidentally tear off, bleed and become inflamed. Often, others begin to appear near one papilloma.
There is an even more serious reason for the timely removal of the tumor. Among the numerous 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: neoplasms that appear due to their fault can turn from benign to malignant over time. Timely removal of such tumors can prevent skin cancer.
The problem is that an ordinary person can mistake another, more dangerous neoplasm for a papilloma or a wart, and either engage in self-treatment or simply do not pay attention to it. Therefore, with all questions and doubts, it is important to go to a specialist (dermatologist), he will perform diagnostics, determine the origin of the tumor, 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 prior examination by a specialist: this will not only not bring the desired effect, but also worsen the problem (especially you should not tear off or cut off the growths).
The cosmetologist's opinion: "Of course, viral warts require timely treatment, otherwise the process can significantly spread over the skin and lead to infection of the surrounding people. "As for papillomas, 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 genital warts surgery 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 rinse;
- Do not wet the postoperative wound during the first 2-3 days;
