In the clinic you can remove moles, warts or papillomas of any size. We examine the skin lesion and select the appropriate removal method. If there is a suspicion that a mole or papilloma is malignant, we send it for histological examination after removal.
When should moles, warts and papillomas be removed?
It is definitely recommended to remove warts and papillomas. If they are in areas of contact with clothing, they can be injured and cause pain or just look unsightly. In addition, some warts and papillomas tend to increase in size.
Not everything is so simple with the removal of moles. If the mole is flat, not injured, and does not change size or color, it does not need to be removed. For your own well-being, it is better to remove moles that are located on the scalp, in places of contact with clothing and other places where they are constantly injured.
If you notice the following signs, you should contact a dermatologist immediately:
- the mole has grown a lot - in a short time it has a diameter of several millimeters;
- became dark and appeared shiny or took on an uneven color;
- started bleeding;
- changed shape;
- Hair fell out of the birthmark even though it had grown before.
All of these are possible manifestations of the degeneration of a birthmark 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 whether the mole has actually developed into a tumor and whether further treatment is required.
Why do warts form and how do cauterizing agents affect them?
Such skin defects arise due to the effect 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 functions normally, the infection does not manifest itself in any way, but when the defenses are weakened and provoking factors appear, warts immediately appear on the skin. New growths look like nodules or plaques that grow over time and merge into colonies.
The provoking factors for the appearance of papillomas and condylomas are:
- Metabolic disorders.
- Weakening of the immune system.
- Sweating due to clothing 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 alkaloids contained in the juice are to blame. Others agree that the reason lies in the immune system's reaction to the drug. It works very effectively on warts and removes them.
The fight against warts should be carried out comprehensively and include not only drugs to eliminate external manifestations, but also drugs to eliminate the causative virus. Celandine belongs to the first category.
Which warts can be removed with celandine? This remedy is natural and therefore can be used to cure almost all tumors. However, there are some exceptions:
- Warts in the intimate area cannot be cauterized, as the skin in these places is very sensitive and using this product can cause 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 has nothing to do with 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 cause 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: if they crack, each of them can become a source of bleeding. When an infectious agent adheres, inflammation of the papilloma and surrounding tissues sometimes occurs, leading to undesirable consequences.
It is known that when papilloma viruses accumulate in a wart for a long time, they can cause genetic changes in the epithelial cells of the skin. A genetic mutation causes uncontrolled cell division and the affected area of skin begins to grow. All these factors contribute to the onset of the oncological process, so papillomas should be eliminated as quickly as possible. In addition, there are now many modern methods that allow you to do this quickly, painlessly and effectively.
How to remove a wart with celandine
To obtain the active ingredient, celandine is collected during its flowering period (May, June) in clean places away from roads and industrial enterprises. If you have access to such plants, the best method for removing warts is to cauterize them with fresh juice three to five times a day until the growth disappears.
This removal method is simple and painless. You pick a stalk of celandine and yellow juice immediately appears on the cut. This juice should be applied to the wart, steamed in hot water, several times a day (to enhance the effect).
The juice should be applied directly to the wart without getting on healthy skin. The growth initially turns black, then decreases in size and finally disappears completely. This is the best and most effective way.
But you can also use celandine tincture or oil from it. Then warts appear in winter and there is no fresh juice. These preparations are prepared in advance in the summer and should sit in a dark place for 2-3 weeks.
This plant is popularly considered a very effective remedy, however, there are also contraindications to its use, so you should pay attention to who should not be treated with celandine.
- Individual intolerance.
- During pregnancy.
- Breastfeeding mother.
- Children under 5 years old.
- In bronchial asthma.
- In epilepsy.
Why do you need to remove papillomas and warts?
In most cases, benign neoplasms such as papillomas and warts do not cause any direct damage to health. Some papillomas can remain on the skin for decades without changing their appearance or increasing in size. However, they entail certain difficulties and risks. So a wart on the foot often tends to grow and over time begins to poison life with everyday pain when walking. Warts on the fingers (these often occur in children) or hanging papillomas in the skin folds in women can lead to soft tissue injuries. For example, if papillomas are located in the chest or back area, with constant friction (e. g. on a harness or a bra clasp), the new growths can accidentally be torn off, bleed and become inflamed. Often others appear near a papilloma.
There is an even more serious reason for the timely removal of tumors. Among the numerous strains of papillomavirus, non-oncogenic, weakly oncogenic and HPV types with high oncogenicity are known. In the latter, there is a risk of degeneration: neoplasms that arise through their fault can turn from benign to malignant over time. Timely removal of such tumors can prevent skin cancer.
The problem also lies in the fact that a normal person can confuse another, more dangerous neoplasm with a papilloma or a wart and either self-medicate or simply not pay attention to it. Therefore, if you have any questions or doubts, it is important to consult a specialist (dermatologist). He or she will make a diagnosis, determine the origin of the tumors and the degree of danger and then suggest treatment methods that are optimal in this case.
It is strongly not recommended to remove papillomas and warts on your own without first consulting a specialist: this may not only not bring the desired effect, but also aggravate the problem (in particular, you should not tear off or cut off the growths).
Opinion of a beautician: "Of course, viral warts require timely treatment, otherwise the process can spread significantly on the skin and also lead to infection of surrounding people. "In the case of papillomas, the formations must be removed to prevent their growth, trauma, possible infections and for aesthetic reasons. "
Recovery period after papilloma removal
Regardless of which method of surgery is used for genital warts, the procedure is followed by a rehabilitation course, during which the patient should adhere to the following recommendations:
- Avoid 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 the resulting crust or subject it to mechanical influences;
- Maintain regular genital hygiene and treat the surgical wound with prescribed medication.
Compliance with these recommendations shortens the recovery period and prevents the occurrence of undesirable complications (infection, bleeding, inflammation of the postoperative wound).
In our clinic, where experienced and professional specialists work, you can carry out effective and timely removal of papillomas using all existing destructive methods. The availability of the most modern equipment and an individual approach to the patient will be the key to successful and safe treatment of skin tumors. The price of papilloma removal depends on the qualifications of the doctor who will perform the operation, as well as the location, size and number of condylomas.
