A mole, wart or papilloma of any size can be removed in the clinic. 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 its removal we will send it for histological examination.
When to remove moles, warts and papillomas.
In any case, it is recommended to remove warts and papillomas. When placed in contact areas with clothing, they can be injured and cause pain, or simply look unsightly. Additionally, some warts and papillomas tend to increase in size.
With mole removal, not everything is so simple. If the mole is flat, not injured, and does not change size or 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 considerably, several millimeters in diameter in a short time;
- became dark and appeared shiny or became uneven in color;
- began to bleed;
- change of form;
- Hairs fell out from 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 with a special microscope, a dermatoscope, remove it if necessary, and then send the material for histological examination. This will help you know 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?
These skin defects appear due to 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. As long as the human immune system functions normally, the infection does not manifest itself in any way, but when the defenses are weakened, as well as when provoking factors appear, warts immediately appear on the skin. Neoplasms look like nodules or plaques that grow over time and coalesce into colonies.
The provoking factors for the appearance of papillomas and condylomas are:
- Metabolic disorders.
- Weakening of the immune system.
- Sweating caused by wearing clothes or shoes that are too warm.
- 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 at that time there were simply no other ways to get rid of these problems. Researchers find it difficult to say why the burning effect of celandine produces such an effect. Some believe that the culprits are the alkaloids contained in the juice. Others agree that the reason is the immune system's reaction to the drug. It acts quite effectively on warts, eliminating 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 virus. Celandine belongs to the first category.
What warts can be removed with celandine? This remedy is natural and can therefore 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 cause burns.
- Celandine does not help in the treatment of malignant (oncological) formations.
If you notice your wart itching, peeling, or swelling, 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?
Small moles that do not protrude from 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 adheres, the papilloma and 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 skin begins to grow. All these factors contribute to the start of the oncological process, so it is necessary to get rid of papillomas as quickly as possible. In addition, now there are many modern methods that allow you to do it 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 these types of plants, the best method to remove warts is to cauterize them with fresh juice 3 to 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 coming into contact with 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. This is when warts appear in winter and there is no fresh juice. These medicines are prepared in advance in the summer and should be infused for 2 to 3 weeks in a dark place.
This plant is popularly considered a very effective remedy, but there are also contraindications to its use, so it is worth paying 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 is it necessary 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 when walking. Warts on the fingers (often appearing in children) or hanging papillomas in skin folds in women can lead to soft tissue injuries. For example, if papillomas are located on the chest or back, in the process of constant friction (for example, against a harness or bra clasp), the neoplasms can be accidentally torn off, bleed and become inflamed. Often others begin to appear near a papilloma.
There is an even more serious reason for the timely removal of tumors. Among the numerous strains of papillomaviruses, non-oncogenic, weakly oncogenic and high-level oncogenic types of HPV are known. The latter run the risk of degenerating: neoplasms that appear because of them can, over time, go 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 confuse another, more dangerous neoplasm with a papilloma or a wart and self-medicate or simply not pay attention to it. Therefore, with all doubts and doubts, it is important to go to a specialist (dermatologist), he will make a diagnosis, determine the origin of the tumors, the degree of danger and then suggest the optimal treatment methods in this case.
It is 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 tear off or cut the growths).
Opinion of a cosmetologist: "Of course, viral warts require timely treatment, otherwise the process can significantly spread throughout the skin and also cause infection in people around you. As for papillomas, the formations should removed to prevent growth, trauma, possible infections and for aesthetic reasons.
Recovery period after papilloma removal.
Regardless of the surgical method used for genital warts, the procedure is followed by a rehabilitation course, during which the patient must follow the following recommendations:
- Refrain from intimacy;
- Women are not recommended to use vaginal suppositories and tampons;
- Don't shower;
- Do not wet the postoperative wound for the first 2-3 days;
- Do not scratch or subject the resulting scab to mechanical impacts;
- 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).
