What are papillomas

The formation of skin papillomas is caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV).
“More than 30% of the world’s population has HPV, but many people don’t even know about it, since the pathogen may not manifest itself in any way,” says Anna Torosyan, a dermatovenereologist at the Federal Scientific and Clinical Center of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency of Russia. — The papilloma virus circulates in the human body, but the protective functions of the immune system suppress pathogenic cells. Benign skin formations can occur in both older people and children, while acrochordas (thread-like papillomas) occur in approximately 50% of pensioners (papillomas in the armpits, groin, neck and around the eyes). There are three ways of transmission of the virus - sexual, household contact (through microtraumas of the skin) and perinatal (from mother to child). As a rule, formations occur in people at a time when the immune system is especially weakened, for example, after suffering from influenza and other infectious diseases. Pregnant women and people with bad habits are also susceptible to the formation of papillomas. Promiscuous sexual intercourse, as well as sexual contact with a person who is a carrier of the virus, is also a risk factor for the occurrence of papillomas.” To date, more than 200 types of such viruses are known. “They can be both oncogenic (that is, causing cancerous tumors) and non-oncogenic,” says Maria Istomina, a dermatovenerologist at the SM-Cosmetology clinic. — Most often, formations on the face occur due to the non-oncogenic human papillomavirus. Papilloma is not difficult to distinguish from other skin problems. Most often this is a pale pink formation protruding above the skin. Sometimes it can rise on a small stalk above the surface of the skin. The size of papillomas varies from 0.2 cm to 0.5 cm. Sometimes their size can reach 1 cm in diameter. Such formations, as a rule, do not fester. Papillomas, once formed, no longer change and do not go away on their own.” To get rid of tumors on the skin of the face, it is better to consult a dermatologist.

Celandine oil

Celandine essential oil is a gentle papilloma virus that has all the healing properties of celandine and is easy to use. You can easily make this oil yourself.

Recipe for oil with celandine

Ingredients: 100 g of dry celandine, 150-200 ml of sunflower oil (or any other unrefined oil).

Pour in herbal oil until it completely covers the plant. Leave for a week in a cool place. Strain and apply the oil twice a day until they dry out and fall off on their own.

Decoction, extract or oil?

When choosing a method for removing papillomas, you should take into account the location of the warts, skin sensitivity and treatment goals.

1. The decoction is effective as a complex therapy for papilloma, as it reduces the risk of tumor formation and strengthens the immune defense.
2. The extract is the most active form of using celandine for papillomas and warts, but there is an increased risk of side effects and microtrauma to the skin. The extract should be used with extreme caution.
3. The oil has a milder effect compared to celandine extract, but the treatment takes a little longer.

Pharmacy products

Solution

“Super celandine” (1 ml) and “Super celandine” (1.2 ml) are liquid solutions of transparent consistency, which, despite the name, do not contain celandine. The preparations are produced on the basis of potassium and sodium alkalis. As a result of application, they burn out the affected tissues, causing their necrosis. The wart first turns black, and after a few days it completely disappears.

In accordance with the instructions for use, the solution must be applied pointwise for 3 to 7 days. Then you need to take a break and observe the wart. If it does not disappear, you can take another course. The drug is so aggressive on the skin that it can cause chemical burns.

Ointment with celandine

• flavonoids;
• organic acids;
• essential and fatty oils.

All these components allow you to effectively remove growths on the face, nose, neck, and intimate places using ointment. It acts quite gently, causing virtually no irritation and leaving no scars.

Drops and extract

“Mountain celandine” is the name of a pharmaceutical drug that is available in the form of drops or balm. The product is sold in small bottles with an applicator. “Mountain Celandine” can also be presented in the form of cosmetic oil in a 30 ml bottle.

The liquid has a viscous consistency and dark brown color. In addition to celandine extract, it contains impurities of string, golden rhododendron, and gentian.

The undiluted product is applied directly to the wart itself in a thin layer; contact of liquid with healthy areas of the skin is unacceptable. It should be applied twice a day. It is not recommended to go out into fresh air for 2 hours after the procedure.

Infusion for internal and external use

At home, you can independently prepare a remedy based on celandine juice:

1. The freshly harvested plant along with its roots is thoroughly washed under running water and cut into 2-2.5 cm pieces.
2. The resulting raw material must be passed through a meat grinder, and then thoroughly squeezed using a clean cloth.
3. It is recommended to keep the juice in the refrigerator for a couple of days.
4. Then 500 ml of vodka is added to 1 liter of juice.

You can use the infusion to burn warts or take it orally (orally), starting with 5 drops per day. Gradually, 1 drop is added to the initial dose every day, bringing the total number to 20. Afterwards, the medicine is taken in full for a month. After 30 days you should take a 10-day break. After this, if necessary, you can conduct another course.

This method of application is advisable for those who are contraindicated for surgical or laser removal of warts. The treatment regimen is quite simple, but guarantees complete elimination of ugly growths within the first weeks of use. However, due to the characteristics of the plant, more than three such courses cannot be carried out during the year. The product promotes overall strengthening of the body and improves immunity. For people with particularly sensitive skin, before applying the juice, you need to lubricate problem areas with water.

The herbs minced with a meat grinder can also be kept for 14 days with the addition of olive oil. The output is celandine oil, which is used for local applications to large areas affected by warts.
