Papilloma ointment is often used to combat skin growth. The effectiveness of this agent depends on the composition, the nature of the action, the degree of infection. When the papilloma virus enters the body, papillomas appear on the body and mucous membranes.
Therefore, the use of ointments, creams, gels often only has a local effect. The virus does not disappear from the blood. The use of ointments, as well as antiviral drugs, strengthening the immune defense will help prevent relapses.
Ways to remove papillomas
Papillomas are benign neoplasms on the skin. In very rare cases, the papilloma can turn into a malignant tumor. If the papilloma does not cause discomfort (physical or emotional), you cannot remove it.
But if the neoplasm causes pain, for example when rubbing against clothing, then it should be treated unsuccessfully. It is best to consult an experienced doctor regarding the possibility and choice of a method for treating papilloma. Usually experts recommend removing the papilloma by one of the following methods:
- Surgery (excision under local anesthesia).
- Liquid nitrogen (cryodestrite).
- Acid.
- Laser.
- Electric shock (electrocoagulation).
Many people use folk remedies in the fight against papillomas. Before using traditional methods, you need to consult a doctor. Some products cannot be used on the face, for example, others may cause individual side effects.
The use of ointment to remove papillomas refers to milder methods of dealing with neoplasms as opposed to immediate surgical laser removal.

In addition, the funds can cause individual side effects and are not recommended for children and people with kidney failure. The effect occurs after a few weeks of use. These ointments are not effective in all situations.
- Plant-based ointments.The active ingredients of the ointments penetrate deep into the papilloma roots and the powders have a detrimental effect on the papilloma. Since the products are made up of medicinal plants, an allergic reaction is not ruled out in people prone to allergies. Herbal remedies, like acid-based preparations, do not act according to the cause of the disease, but help eliminate external signs.
