Soap with the addition of birch tar is called tar soap. The product contains at least 8% wood distillation product, thanks to which it gets its unique dark color, specific smell, but most importantly - healing properties.

Amateur soap makers add coconut and olive oils to the composition to enhance the regenerating properties of the product, but essential oils are not included in it, since the harsh aroma of tar overpowers other odors.
Do not be afraid that the detergent will leave a specific odor after use; it will disappear a few minutes after use.
The price of tar soap (75 g) in Russia is from 22 rubles, in Ukraine - from 9 hryvnia. You can buy it both in solid form (standard bar) and in liquid form.
An analogue of tar soap is Vishnevsky's ointment - it also contains a certain amount of tar.

Useful properties of tar soap for papillomas
Birch tar has natural disinfecting properties, which is why it is actively used in folk medicine. Soap with tar helps improve blood circulation in the washed skin tissues, which in turn increases its regenerative abilities.
In addition, the following properties of tar soap are noted:
- Drying of oily areas of the skin, and the area with normal epidermis does not change its properties;
- Elimination of oily sheen;
- Normalization of blood circulation in the upper layers of the skin;
- Disinfection, antifungal effect;
- Resorption of scars.
Dermatologists recommend the cleanser to combat psoriasis, skin rashes, acne, rashes and external manifestations of allergic reactions. Antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties make it possible to use tar soap for papillomas.
The therapeutic effect of the product is explained by the presence of tar in its composition, which is a powerful natural antiseptic. When using tar soap, an alkaline environment is formed on the affected area, which is detrimental to papillomas. Thus, the product provokes the destruction of skin cells affected by HPV.
In addition, tar soap promotes rapid healing of the skin.
Important! Despite the fact that the use of tar soap against papillomas is a simple and affordable method of treatment, you should still consult a specialist before starting the procedures.

Soap containing birch tar is not a rare product on the shelves of hardware stores and supermarkets. At the same time, its cost is also not bad. However, manufacturers' savings on adding emollient ingredients leads to the fact that after using such products, irritation and dry skin may appear. To avoid adverse reactions, you can make tar soap for papillomas at home.
The process begins with the preparation of all the necessary ingredients. First of all, you need to take gentle baby soap or soap base in the amount of 200 g. For such a mass you will need only 1 teaspoon of tar. To increase the benefits and improve the aroma, add 1 teaspoon of natural honey, as well as your favorite essential oils in a few drops.
Initially, melt the grated soap or ready-made soap base in any convenient way - in a microwave oven at low power or in a water bath, excluding boiling. After cooling a little, add essential oils. Mix very thoroughly. When the temperature of the mixture is below 50 degrees, you can add honey and tar. The mass will almost immediately become thicker. Now it’s time to pour the future tar soap for papillomas into molds.
The curing time is usually no more than 24 hours. In general, the manufacturing process does not take much time and effort, but as a result, the skin receives safe and gentle care.

It is recommended to apply the finished ointment to clean, steamed skin and leave overnight.

Features, symptoms of plantar warts
The spine is a compaction on the plantar surface of the foot with a diameter of 2 to 10 mm (sometimes more). The formation resembles a small callus, which can be either flush with the skin or slightly raised above it. The presence of microscopic dark spots on the surface (thrombosed capillaries) is considered characteristic. Color – from white-yellow to brown. The wart is dense to the touch, pressing on it causes pain.
The spine differs from ordinary warts and papillomas in its higher density, as well as pain when pressed. This is due to the fact that, due to their location, they are always subject to pressure and stress, which causes them to become keratinized; in appearance they sometimes resemble small calluses. The same factor causes pain - when pressed, a dense wart presses on deeper tissues, causing pain (a comparison with a pebble in a shoe is appropriate here).
Removal of plantar warts should be carried out by a specialist. Attempts at self-removal, as well as treatment with folk remedies, are usually ineffective, because the spines are highly dense and have deep “roots.” Superficial removal (cutting with forceps after steaming, applying celandine, aloe, etc.) usually leads to relapse.

- For patients during periods of destructive development of HPV on the genitals, tar soap for papillomas in intimate places is not used in this case, since their microflora is already in an extremely unstable position;
- Patients with allergies to any of the components of the composition.
Tar soap is not suitable for treating papillomas in the eye area. Formation on the eyelids is combated with medications or special oils. In other cases, there are no contraindications to the use of the product.

Results of treatment of papillomas with tar soap
Procedures using birch tar have not undergone clinical studies, which means that the effectiveness of treating papillomas with tar soap has not been confirmed by statistical data. Patients evaluate this traditional method of removing tumors caused by HPV differently. For some, the remedy turned out to be very effective, while others do not recognize its effectiveness.
The negative aspects of the product include an unpleasant odor, as well as low effectiveness. It should be noted that in many respects the quality of tar soap for papillomas depends on the manufacturer, and if the composition is natural, then exfoliation of the growth cells begins after 10 days of systematic use. However, the high price of soap does not guarantee quality.
Those patients who combine traditional treatment with alternative ones note that the use of tar soap is quite effective. They talk about quick results and the absence of relapses of the disease.
When the use of tar soap for papillomas on the body gives a positive result, it can be continued to be used as a prevention of relapses, since no one is immune from repeated manifestations of the disease. As a preventive measure, areas of the skin where formations have appeared must be treated at least once a week.
In some cases, when using tar soap for papillomas, negative reactions
, because the aggressive composition of the product can irritate the skin and delicate mucous membranes. Often, drying out of the skin under the influence of the product can lead to the formation of microcracks and self-infection with new strains of HPV. On the other hand, fatty acids in soap prevent the healing of small wounds, so if the papilloma is accidentally injured during soaping, it will be more difficult to stop the bleeding.
