Viral formations growing on open areas of the body - papillomas and warts - are perceived by many as a cosmetic defect. Removal of these neoplasms is possible in several ways, traditional medicine can also be attributed to them.
But before you start using "grandmother's recipes" in practice, you need to know exactly which papillomas you can remove yourself and what you need to do to prevent them from growing again.
Why do they appear?
Papillomas appear as a result of human infection with the smallest microorganism - the human papillomavirus, or HPV for short.
Contagion can happen in several ways. This is sexual, normal contact and from mother to fetus.
HPV infection does not always lead to the appearance of unpleasant-looking formations.
Activation of the pathogen requires a provoking effect of one of several negative factors - a decrease in immunity, chronic diseases of the digestive tract, prolonged stress, hormonal collapse.
The activation of the virus leads to the fact that it begins to multiply actively in the epithelium, changes the structure of the cells of this layer of the skin, and as a result, a small tumor begins to appear on the body.
It can be in the form of flat or filamentous papillomas, warts, genital warts grow in the genital area, plantar papillomas on the feet.
The main danger of the formation of papillomas on the body lies in the possibility of injury and infection.
Condylomas of the external and internal genital organs can form in the presence of oncogenic strains of HPV in the body and therefore can indicate the possibility of developing cancer. There is also a risk of repeated appearance of papillomas on the body from one first formation.
