Causes of papillomas and warts.
Their appearance is caused by the human papillomavirus, which is present in almost 80% of the world's population. Since the virus has the ability to remain silent for a certain period of time, many people are unaware of the disease until the conditions are right for the disease to manifest itself.
- Decreased immunity due to general fatigue, viral infection, taking antibiotics, hypothermia, hormonal changes or stress.
- Receiving microtraumas on the arms and legs.
- Fungal diseases of the skin of the feet.
- Unbalanced diet that lacks vitamins.
Even if warts and papillomas do not bother a person, it is still recommended to treat them. Various treatment methods are used. But in certain cases, treatment is not recommended.

Modern methods of treating papillomas and warts.
Along with folk remedies, modern medicine has developed several procedures to treat these unpleasant growths on the skin. All manipulations take place in the clinic under the supervision of specialists.
- Cryotherapy – freezing with liquid nitrogen. A completely painless procedure, recommended even for children. A small scar may remain at the site of the papilloma.
- Laser treatment causes minimal damage to surrounding tissue.
- Electrocoagulation – removal using electric current is accompanied by local anesthesia.
- Plasma treatment . The tumors are affected first with a very low temperature (up to -150), and then with a very high temperature (about +2500). This harmless operation is considered the most effective, it does not leave any marks on the skin and completely destroys the growths.
- Removal with a radio knife . This is the most modern and painless method, taking less than 5 minutes.
In addition to surgical intervention, sometimes traditional methods help well. They include the use of traditional medicine in the form of lotions and compresses to problem areas.
Types and danger of cervical papillomas
You should decide how to remove papillomas on the neck only after making sure that the skin growth is actually a papilloma. For this purpose, it is best to contact a specialist who, based on the results of PCR diagnostics and a simple examination, will make a final diagnosis. In general, it is quite difficult to confuse a papilloma on the neck with any other neoplasm. Characteristic signs of the viral nature of a skin growth are painlessness and external signs.
Papillomas protrude above healthy tissues, attaching to them through a thin stalk or large base. The consistency of papilloma can be moderately dense or soft, and the color varies from light pink to dirty brown.
Neoplasms of this localization can be vulgar or flat in appearance, and can also be small papillomas on the neck that have a yellow tint. It is believed that representatives of the stronger sex are more prone to such localization of epidermal growths.
The transformation of skin papilloma into a malignant tumor is unlikely, which cannot be said about the possibility of injuring, tearing or rubbing delicate tissue. Such mechanical damage is fraught with the following consequences:
- Severe bleeding (proliferation of the capillary network is usually observed around the papilloma);
- Infection of the wound surface (skin damage is an open gate for infection and microbial contamination);
- Autoinaculation (contamination of infected blood on healthy areas of the epidermis can lead to repeated self-infection, which is manifested by multiple “warts”);
- Formation of scars (the neck is an open part of the body, the aesthetic appearance of which is important in shaping the overall image).
Beneficial properties of aloe
Such a common medicinal plant as aloe is used against warts, and sometimes copes very successfully with the treatment of unwanted formations on the skin. It contains a complex of useful substances that help treat this viral disease.
- Vitamins of group A, B, E.
- Microelements (calcium, zinc, lithium).
- Organic resins.
- Biological antibiotic.
- Phytoncides.
- Esters.
This is an incomplete list of the “combat arsenal” for treating warts with aloe juice.
The use and preparation of medicines from agave is very simple. Often it does not require labor-intensive manipulations. Cutting off a leaf and extracting the gel or juice is usually all that is required.
Aloe recipes for warts and papillomas
In addition to pharmaceutical products containing aloe, you can use fresh juice or agave gel for papillomas. To use the plant, you need to remember that skin tumors occur due to weakened immunity. Therefore, treatment is carried out comprehensively: externally and internally.

To increase immunity, it is necessary to take the composition with agave juice orally. To prepare it, specific requirements must be met.
- Before preparing the medicine, the agave must be kept without watering for a week.
- For this purpose, a plant that is at least 3 years old and no more than 10 years old is suitable. The most valuable is 5-year-old aloe, since its leaves have accumulated enough useful substances.
- Carefully cut off the lower fleshy leaves from the plant.
- Keep in the refrigerator for 10 days in order to activate the medicinal components.
- After this manipulation, grind the leaves and squeeze out the juice.
- Combine the squeezed juice with honey, lemon juice and ground nuts in equal parts. You can add butter instead of lemon.
- Take a teaspoon half an hour before meals for a month. An overdose will not lead to a greater effect, but may cause an undesirable side reaction.
An aloe composition for lubricating warts and papillomas is prepared as follows.
Method 1 . Grind an aloe leaf, kept in the refrigerator, into a paste, apply to the problem area and secure with a band-aid. Perform the procedure at night for at least 10 days in a row.
Method 2. Cut the agave leaf lengthwise, treat the wart or papilloma with an aqueous solution of soda at the rate of 1 teaspoon per glass. Place the cut side of the sheet on the growth and bandage it. Change the dressing after 12 hours. Use aloe juice or gel to remove papillomas for at least a week.
Only freshly cut leaves of the plant are suitable for such treatment. There is no need to stockpile the product for future use; the medicine loses its healing properties very quickly.
Description and composition of aloe juice for papillomas
Aloe, from the leaves of which juice is obtained for the treatment of papillomas, belongs to the genus of succulents, the Asphodelaceae family. It grows in large quantities in Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, but is found wild in Europe and Asia. Growing it in pots at home is also widespread.
Aloe juice is the liquid found inside the leaves of the plant. For the most part, this is what they consist of, the peel and pulp in the total share is no more than 30%.

The product has a translucent color with a slight green or yellowish tint. It has a sharp, unpleasant odor and an easily memorable bitter taste. It has a very liquid consistency, high fluidity, uniform texture and rapid solubility in water.
Aloe juice for papillomas is produced by squeezing the young leaves of the plant; the older it is, the more bitter and less effective the finished product is. In pharmacies you can rarely find it in its pure form; basically everything that is sold here also contains alcohol.
During long-term storage, especially in unsuitable conditions, the liquid is prone to darkening, the appearance of sediment and loss of beneficial properties. The maximum shelf life when packaged is 2 years, when unpacked - no more than a month. The juice should be stored at a temperature no higher than 15 degrees away from children.

How to make aloe juice at home to remove papillomas
First you need to select the leaves; they must be young, fresh, and have a shiny surface. It is important that they do not have dry, rough or stale areas, otherwise the juice will be bitter and less effective.
After selecting suitable leaves, you need to carefully wipe them with a damp sponge, cut them with scissors at the very edge of the stem and immediately place them on a plate.
4 ways to prepare aloe juice:
- The cut leaf, held over the dish, must be gently pressed, starting from the cut point and moving towards the tail. At these moments, a small amount of mush may get into the container, which will then need to be removed by filtering the juice.
- You can do it differently: wrap the aloe with a piece of gauze and squeeze the liquid right through it.
- There is another way to obtain aloe juice for the treatment of papillomas: put the leaves under a heavy press and leave them there for 1-2 days. After this time, most of the liquid should squeeze out on its own, after which all that remains is to strain it and clean it of impurities.
- Another option is to turn the leaves into a pulp using a meat grinder or blender, which grinds them well. Then the pulp must be transferred to gauze, folded in half, and squeezed well with clean hands. This will take a little longer than in other cases.

Reviews
My daughter developed 3 warts on her arm. The doctor prescribed an expensive drug. First we decided to try traditional ones. At night they bandaged aloe, the warts soaked. The bandage was removed for the day, and during the day the growths dried out. After 7 days they turned into black crusts and fell off. Small scars remain.
Aloe helps even skeptics who do not believe in the effectiveness of such a simple method. So before resorting to surgery and using expensive remedies, you should try aloe for warts and papillomas.
