Human papillomavirus infection is mainly transmitted through sexual contact. To date, more than 100 viral strains are known, which differ in the degree of oncogenesis. Recently, physicians have identified any skin neoplasm, including papillomas. Begins to attribute to a precancerous condition, therefore, adequate treatment and timely removal of papillomas on the body are very important.
To which doctor should I go with papillomas on the body?
Unfortunately, the human papilloma virus for a long time proceeds in an asymptomatic form and is not expressed in any way even after the appearance of papillomas on the body.
Patients are used to seeing a doctor only with obvious disturbing symptoms:
- Pain,
- Itching
- Serous exudate, leakage of blood.
Often, such symptoms with papillomas are characterized by malignancy or inflammation.

With alarming symptoms, consultation of an oncologist is required.
How to stop the growth and treat papillomas on the body?
Removing the papillary lesions alone will not solve the HPV problem.
Under favorable conditions new neoplasms will arise again:
- exacerbation of chronic diseases;
- cold or hypothermia;
- stress factor;
- Long-term drug treatment.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to completely remove the virus from the body, but modern medicine is able to provide a stable remission in connection with the further pathogenic activity of HPV strains.
Adequate drug therapy inhibits the development of new papillary foci, and local drugs destroy the structure of the papilloma and lead to its self-dissection.
Tablets for papillomas on the body
Tablets are prescribed, if necessary, systemic treatment to arrest the activity of viral strains. At the same time, they solve the problem of treating joint deformities or other predisposing factors that can lead to activation of the virus.
To treat the manifestations of HPV, the following drugs are prescribed:
- Immunostimulating antiviral agents. Active substances suppress pathogenic viral activity in a short time. With antiviral effect, drugs stimulate the production of their own antibodies that fight viruses and completely eradicate strains.
- Antiviral drugs of plant origin. substances effectively fight viral infections, after a few days of use, they destroy viral strains at the DNA level. These funds are taken already on the first day of recurrent growthsSide effects include nausea, indigestion, and upset stools.
- Purine based synthetic products. The daily dosage is 2-3 tablets per day, and in case of severe infection, the dosage is increased to 5-6 tablets per day.

- Ointments with a complex composition and antibiotics. The main ingredients are antibiotics chloramphenicol and methyluracil, which belong to the group of immunomodulators. Ointments contribute to the normal regeneration of skin cells, normalize the water balance in the structures of the skin. TreatmentThe usual course of is 4 weeks, 2-3 applications per day.
General complex therapy lasts several weeks. Patients need to take systemic drugs with local agents in order to stop the viral process as early as possible.
