Is it possible to get rid of papillomas on your own?

This question arises for many people. There are home remedies for acne, warts and age spots, so why can’t you remove papilloma yourself in the same way? Self-medication may be unsafe, experts warn. “Firstly, you don’t know exactly what you are going to delete,” says Maria Istomina. — Doctors have special medical diagnostic equipment that helps determine what type of tumor has appeared on the skin. Before removing any papilloma, the doctor carefully examines it with a dermatoscope. This device allows you to view the formation at significant magnification. This is necessary in order to understand whether it is really a papilloma, which can be safely removed, or something more serious. Secondly, in trying to get rid of papilloma on your own, you can injure yourself, which will cause the growth of the tumor or its transformation into a more dangerous form, even an oncological tumor.”

Thus, it will be much safer not to experiment at home, but to seek help from a specialist. Moreover, the clinic will remove the papilloma quickly and painlessly.

Causes

The cause of papillomas on the eyelids is infection with a virus from the papillomavirus family. The virus is transmitted from person to person through household or sexual contact; carriage of the virus is widespread. To become infected with the papilloma virus, microscopic damage to the skin is enough.

For a long period, the papilloma virus can remain in the body without manifesting itself. It is believed that the direct formation of papillomas is associated with a weakened immune system as a result of stress, lack of sleep, after illness, an unsuccessful visit to a solarium, etc. With age, the likelihood of papillomas increases, this is due to weakened immunity in older people.

Main types of formations

To better understand what we are dealing with, let's discuss the most common types of papillomas. So, today the following types of formations are most often found:

Flat. They are small in size (usually up to 2 mm), oval and round in shape, flesh-colored, and are characteristic of an early age.
Vulgar. They appear on the limbs, have a convex shape and a rough structure.
Pointed. They have a ribbed, torn shape, are located mainly on the mucous membranes of the intimate area, and are transmitted sexually.
Thread-like. They occur at a fairly mature age (most often occurring from 35 years of age). The shape can resemble a thread or a circle on a thin bridge leg. Characteristic of the neck and armpits.

Treatment of papillomas on the eyelids

If suspicious formations appear on the skin of the eyelids, you should not put off visiting a doctor, because it is difficult to diagnose yourself, and correct diagnosis is the key to effective treatment.

After the appearance of papillomas on the eyelids, they slowly but steadily increase in size, so it would be optimal to treat them soon after detection, without waiting for their size and number to increase, as well as for the development of complications of the disease. Due to the anatomical proximity to the eyeball, papillomas on the eyelid are recommended to be removed.

Self-medication for eyelid papillomas is not acceptable and can lead to dire consequences. Attempts to cauterize papillomas with alcohol-containing solutions do not get rid of the formations, but can cause irritation of the mucous membrane of the eye. It is unacceptable to try to cauterize or trim the papilloma; this can cause inflammation or bleeding from the wound.

There is no effective drug treatment for eyelid papilloma; the only treatment is removal of the formations. Removal of papillomas is carried out on an outpatient basis in a one-day procedure, using local anesthesia.

Papillomas are removed by laser, electrocoagulation, cryodestruction (cauterization with liquid nitrogen) or surgery. Each of these methods has advantages and disadvantages, so the method of removing formations is determined by the attending ophthalmologist, based on the individual situation.

Advantages of laser technique

Laser removal of papillomas has become increasingly popular in recent years. The explanation for this trend is the minimum disadvantages and maximum advantages of this technique. The main advantages of laser exposure include:

Speed of manipulation (you can get rid of one papilloma in 30 seconds).
The minimum number of contraindications (allergy to local anesthesia or inability to administer it, late pregnancy).
Minimal negative effects (The risk of scarring is reduced to zero, pain and itching are also extremely rare, and there are no other side effects).
The ability to eliminate formations not only on the skin of the body, but also on the face, as well as on the mucous membrane, that is, in the most vulnerable areas.
Affordable price.
Protection against bleeding and the risk of infection (no direct contact with the skin, the integrity of the blood vessels is not compromised).

The duration of the recovery period after removal of papillomas on the eyelids depends on the location of the formation. The most problematic in terms of healing are papillomas located at the edge of the eyelids in the immediate vicinity of the eyeball; moreover, after their removal, scars often form that subsequently require laser resurfacing.

Period after removal

Despite all the effectiveness of laser treatment, the best results can only be achieved if an additional set of measures is followed. So, after the procedure, the patient needs to visit a specialist to get a second consultation about drug treatment. As a rule, the doctor prescribes antiviral therapy, as well as means of preventive support and strengthening the human immune system.

In addition to the use of medications, the patient will need to follow a number of additional recommendations throughout the entire recovery period. Reviews from people who have gone through a similar procedure confirm that following the mandatory rules does not require any effort and does not cause inconvenience. So, it is recommended:

Do not cover the resulting wound with a band-aid; ensure a constant flow of air to it.
Immediately notify the specialist who performed the removal if any discomfort, pain or itching occurs.
Do not peel off the crust on the wound, treat it with prescribed medical compounds (for example, hydrocortisone ointment).
Do not allow ultraviolet light to enter the wound.
Do not expose laser-treated skin to aggressive mechanical influences (massages, scrubs, etc.).

If, after the procedure, undesirable consequences such as scars are observed, the skin should be treated with creams based on fruit acids; they provide the necessary hydration and nutrition. Reviews of such drugs confirm their effectiveness in the fight against new scars.

Prevention

To prevent infection with the papilloma virus, you should follow everyday hygiene recommendations: regularly wash your hands, use individual towels and bed linen, etc. Particular attention should be paid to eye hygiene, for example, do not touch your eyes with dirty hands, use swimming goggles when visiting the pool, etc. Since papillomas usually form in people with weakened immune systems, you need to pay attention to your diet, rest regularly, and adhere to a healthy lifestyle life, avoid overwork and hypothermia.

What is the best method for removing skin tumors?

Our clinic's arsenal includes almost all methods for removing any benign skin tumors, except for surgical and chemical destruction: laser removal, radio wave removal - radiosurgery, diathermocoagulation - plasma coagulation and cryodestruction - removal with liquid nitrogen.

In each individual case, the question of choosing a removal method depends on the nature of the tumor, its size, location, and concomitant pathologies. Therefore, the concept of the best removal method simply does not exist.

Removal of moles and warts with laser at the VitaDerm clinic - quickly and effectively

Removal of warts, papillomas, and moles with a laser is the most effective method of getting rid of tumors

Among the aesthetic problems solved with the help of cosmetic manipulations, a significant place is occupied by the removal of neoplasms, such as moles, warts, and papillomas. Their occurrence is associated with the activation of the papilloma virus, which is found in many people. The appearance of warts and moles can be a consequence of stress, increased stress, and age-related physiological changes.

Cosmetologists at our clinic use in their practice an effective and safe method of getting rid of aesthetically unattractive tumors using a laser pulse. The use of advanced high-tech equipment from the Italian brand DEKA, the CO2 laser device SmartXide DOT, ensures high efficiency and safety of the procedure.

A few words about the advantages of laser destruction using the SmartXide device

Several techniques have been developed to remove warts, moles, and papillomas. In addition to surgical intervention, you can get rid of unpleasant formations using electrocoagulation procedures, cryodestruction, and radio wave exposure. However, all of the above methods have a number of limitations and disadvantages.

The VitaDerm clinic uses the most advanced and effective technique - laser destruction. Main advantages of the method:

the procedure is contactless and minimizes the risk of infection;
The session time is reduced to a minimum, depending on the size and characteristics of the formation, it takes from 3 to 10 minutes;
visual comparison of the problem area before and after the procedure clearly shows the high effectiveness of the method;
the use of Italian DEKA equipment virtually eliminates the appearance of scar tissue at the site of the removed lesion.

In addition to the listed advantages, the method ensures rapid regeneration of the skin in the treatment area, the rehabilitation period is minimized. You can find out the price for this service by phone or see the price list below.

Laser for removing papillomas and moles

The principle of the procedure is based on the narrow direction of strictly dosed laser radiation; high-temperature pulses act directly on the structures of the formation. Professional laser equipment SmartXide DOT has a complex of fine settings for radiation intensity, its focusing and selection of wave parameters.

– An experienced doctor selects hardware settings according to the type of tumor that needs to be removed. The beam penetrates the epidermis to a depth specified by the doctor, including coagulation of the vessels feeding the neoplasm.

Procedure protocol

Removal of papillomas, moles and other skin formations is a one-time procedure that does not require special preparation:

A cosmetologist examines the problem area and performs a dermatoscopy of the tumor. Based on these actions, the specialist selects the optimal settings for the laser device.
To prevent the patient from experiencing discomfort during the procedure, an antiseptic is used, which is administered by injection.
The doctor removes papilloma, moles, and warts using a manipulator. The process takes just minutes.
After removal, the affected area is treated with an antiseptic, and a bandage is applied if necessary.
The doctor gives recommendations for caring for the area of the epidermis from which the papilloma was removed. The time required for rehabilitation is determined by a specialist based on the medical history.

– Moles, warts and other skin defects are not only aesthetically unattractive, but can carry the risk of transformation into a malignant stage. Therefore, we always recommend that after the procedure you refrain from visiting institutions such as a solarium, swimming pool, or spa. Do not expose the treated area to ultraviolet radiation or use decorative cosmetics.

Summary

In conclusion, it should be noted that, despite the simplicity, safety and minimally invasive nature of the procedure, not all patients of our clinic can be prescribed laser removal of a tumor. Contraindications to the procedure include oncological, autoimmune, dermatological, hematological, inflammatory diseases, and viral infections. You should also avoid the procedure during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Features of the procedure

The process of excision of growths itself is quite fast - one tumor takes no more than 5 minutes. The papilloma is burned out layer by layer with a laser beam. Before starting the procedure, the specialist adjusts the equipment to the desired frequency, intensity and depth of impact - these parameters directly depend on the nature of the skin formations of a particular patient. In parallel with the laser beam, the cooling system of the installation affects the treated area, which protects against burns on adjacent areas of the skin.

A small wound remains at the site where the skin growth was located, which is immediately subject to disinfection. Additionally, healing and antiseptic agents can be applied.

If there are small numbers of single papillomas on the patient’s body, they are all removed in one session. If the skin lesions are extensive and there are numerous colonies of neoplasms, several procedures are necessary.

What do condylomas look like?

The formation of growths in the intimate area is a common reason for girls to make an appointment with a gynecologist. Papillomas on the labia are small white growths. Vaginal papillomas can be of 2 types: exophytic and endophytic. The former are characterized by a papillary surface and a pointed shape; they are localized in the superficial layer. As a rule, they are provoked by HPV with a fairly low level of oncogenic activity. The latter are flat, they usually grow deep into the epithelial tissue and can cause pathologies in healthy tissue.

If such condylomas are not treated in time, the risk of developing cancer increases.

Symptoms of vaginal papilloma

The virus infection scheme is as follows: first, the pathogen enters the dermis layer, affecting the membrane of healthy cells, then the infected DNA is introduced into the cell, after which the virus waits for favorable conditions for activation. In this situation, if the infected girl has a strong immune system, papillomas in the vagina may not form for a long time. In total, there are 3 stages of the disease. The first is characterized by the absence of pronounced symptoms. Depending on the general physical condition and the state of the immune system, this stage can occur over a long period of time, and in the absence of provoking causes, symptoms may not appear for several years. Despite this, the girl is already a carrier of the virus and can infect her sexual partner.

The second stage is characterized by changes in the mucous membrane of the genital organs. Neoplasms can be localized deep in the vagina, so it is not possible to identify them independently. Papillomas at the entrance to the vagina or on the labia can sometimes be detected by touch. Also, due to regular contact with clothing or during washing, they may bleed, which is a serious reason to consult a doctor.

the appearance of severe pain during sexual intercourse;
itching and burning in the intimate area;
the appearance of purulent discharge.
