Viral formations growing in open areas of the body - papillomas and warts are perceived by many as a cosmetic defect. Removal of these neoplasms is possible in various ways, traditional medicine can also be attributed to them.
But before you start using "grandmother's recipes" in practice, you need to know exactly what papillomas you can remove yourself and what needs to be done so that they do not grow back.
Why do they appear?
Papillomas arise as a result of human infection with the smallest microorganism – the human papillomavirus, or HPV for short.
Infection can occur in several ways. This is sexual, normal contact, and from mother to fetus.
Infection with HPV does not always lead to the appearance of unpleasant-looking growths.
To activate the pathogen, a provocative effect of one of several negative factors is required - a decrease in immunity, chronic diseases of the digestive tract, prolonged stress, hormonal failure.
Activation of the virus leads to the fact that it begins to actively multiply in the epithelium, changes the structure of the cells of this layer of the skin, and as a result, a small tumor appears on the body.
It can take the form of a flat or filiform papilloma, 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 on the external and internal genital organs can form in the body in the presence of oncogenic HPV strains, and therefore can indicate the possibility of developing cancer. There is also a risk of multiple appearance of papillomas on the body from the first formation.
