It is necessary to obtain preparations for warts with knowledge of the subject. The best solution is to consult a doctor who will examine your condition with papillomas and prescribe the appropriate drugs. Self-medication can lead to worsening of the condition and cause a number of side effects. Exposure to drugs for the treatment of warts is considered by many to be optimal. Therefore, we will consider some drugs and help you choose drugs for warts.
Drug release forms
With warts, most people prefer to treat them with the help of pharmacy products. However, the possibility of using traditional medicine should not be excluded.
In fact, in terms of the effectiveness of the effect on the wart, traditional medicine is able to show results no worse than a set of pharmaceutical products. Traditional medicine removes the wart gradually and safely. But for many, the main reason for abandoning traditional medicine in favor of drug therapy is the duration of treatment.
Going to the pharmacy kiosk to buy drugs, you should know that there are a number of forms for the release of drugs. Which medicine you use depends largely on the doctor's conclusions and your financial capabilities.
Pharmaceutical products for the treatment of papillomas and warts have the following forms of release:
- Solutions for papillomas and warts. Often these are cauterizing, keratolic or embalming drugs that have a devastating effect on the body of the papilloma. They should be applied carefully, without affecting healthy skin. Some over-the-counter wart solutions are available by prescription only or require professional application. That is, they are not used at home, but only a doctor administers the drug.
- Ointment and cream. They have an oily base, which allows the active substances to be gradually absorbed into the skin. They take second place in popularity among pharmaceutical drugs for papillomas and warts after solutions. The objective disadvantage of creams and ointments is that after applying the skin dries for a long time and absorbs oil, which can leave marks on clothes.
- tablets. With warts, doctors often prescribe a complex treatment. The main place here is occupied by antiviral drugs and immunomodulators. Some are sold in tablet form. They can be used as an independent remedy if there is no need to quickly get rid of papillomas.
- Gel. It is characterized by rapid action due to its composition and ability to be absorbed. Gels are not used very often, since their range to combat papillomas is insignificant. But it has some advantages over ointment or cream.
- Liquid oil. Despite the oily consistency, these drugs can be characterized by an aggressive effect. These do not include essential oils that are often used to treat and remove papillomas.
- Freezing spray. The freezer is becoming more and more popular. Such funds replace a trip to the clinic for cryodestruction. Freezing at home with liquid nitrogen does not require special skills. It is only necessary to strictly follow the manufacturer's instructions for use.
- Plasters from warts and papillomas. Their advantage is that they perform two functions at once. Impregnation of the patch has a devastating effect on the papilloma, and the patch itself closes the growth from external influences or possible accidental damage. And they rarely need to be changed, which simplifies the treatment process.
- pens. It is designed for spot application to wart-affected areas of the skin. Pens are easy to use, but potentially harmful to healthy skin. Therefore, it is not recommended to apply the drug from the pen to the skin near the papilloma.
Popular drugs
It is worth noting right away that the treatment of warts in children without the appropriate experience or knowledge at home is not recommended. If your child has warts, take him to the doctor first.
The child's body can quickly adapt and resist the papilloma virus in a natural way. So in most cases, warts do not need to be treated. They are self-absorbed 1-2 years after their appearance.
If the doctor deems it necessary, he will prescribe antiviral agents to the child, topical preparations to speed up the treatment process. Radio wave excision, laser removal or professional cryodestruction will be the best solution in cases that require surgical intervention.
If you encounter papillomas as an adult, you should not count on their self-resorption. Try medical treatment for warts first and if it doesn't help then you should resort to removal.
How can warts be removed? We offer a list of some drugs that are popular and effectively affect the problem of the papillomavirus. But the use of any of them requires prior consultation with specialists.
- A solution with a cauterizing effect, which is distinguished by an oily base and a rather pungent odor. But an unpleasant odor can be tolerated, since the drug is quite effective and can literally get rid of small papillomas in one application. Children's medicine is contraindicated. Be sure to treat the skin around the neoplasm, where the solution was applied, with any greasy cream or ghee.
- Antiviral medicine for warts. The effectiveness of the drug is due to the fact that it is based on synthesized interferon. This is a substance that our body produces to fight pests, including the papilloma virus. It is possible to get rid of papillomas in a very short time by increasing the concentration level of the protective protein interferon. Also, the product is safe for healthy skin. The course of treatment is prescribed individually, but should not exceed 30 days.
- The most popular, effective and therefore popular wart pills. The drug helps to increase the protective functions of the body and restore the immune system. The course lasts 2 weeks, after which you need to take a break for a month and repeat the course to consolidate the result.
- Herbal remedy for papillomas, presented in the form of a gel. Its application allows us to improve the production of our body's natural protective protein interferon. Therefore, warts disappear within a week. The course of treatment lasts up to 10 days. The skin should be treated no more than 5 times during the day. The gel is characterized by its composition, which allows active substances to penetrate deep into the skin and negatively affect the root of the papilloma directly.
- Indian Oil. A fairly inexpensive drug for papillomas, which shows itself best in the fight against neoplasms on the hands. The oil is rubbed into the skin every day until the growth completely disappears. But treatment can take about a month.
- Iodine. Another inexpensive pharmacy drug that destroys the wart, helping it dry and fall off. Iodine should not be applied more than 2-3 times a day and the course should be continued for a maximum of 10 days.
- Freezer pharmacy spray that comes with applicators and detailed instructions for use to apply the product. It is contraindicated in persons under 4 years of age.
In no case should you self-treat papillomas and warts. Consult a doctor who will give specific and optimal recommendations on the selection of pharmaceutical preparations and drugs.
