Removal of papillomas on the face with a laser, nitrogen, radio wave method, pharmacy ointment, folk remedies

Papilloma is a formation on the skin and mucous membranes that develop in the presence of the human papilloma virus (HPV). The growths can be located on any part of the body (face, trunk, limbs) and cause both cosmetic discomfort and cause the formation of cancer cells.

Therefore, it is recommended to examine the papillomas (especially if the formation causes severe itching, changes color or increases in size) and, if necessary, remove.

Types of Papillomas

Papillomas, both on the face and on any part of the body, are divided into 3 main types:

According to the degree of danger of formations	By color characteristic	In appearance
Benign. There is no likelihood of HPV degenerating into cancer cells. These formations deliver only discomfort. You can eliminate it by all possible methods.	White. Appear in the presence of a violation of pigmentation of the skin or in the presence of HIV infection.	Flat. This form barely protrudes above the skin and has blurry edges, so it is difficult to eliminate. After manipulations, a small scar may remain.
Medium hazard. The risk of degeneration of papillomas into oncological formations is 15-20%. Recommended removal of growths by hardware or surgical method, followed by drug therapy.	Pink. This color is characteristic of young neoplasms, which may initially merge with the tone of the epidermis.	Spiky. Externally, papillomas are similar to the crest of a rooster. This species is most often degenerated into oncological formations. If available, hardware or surgical removal is required. The use of folk remedies is not recommended.
Malignant. The probability of growths of growths in cancers is 70%. An urgent removal of papillomas is required by any of the possible methods, also combined with taking medications. Further, observation by a specialist is required, since papillomas may appear again.	Brown. They can be from light shade to dark. Color changes mainly due to the influence of ultraviolet radiation on neoplasms.
	Black. This color can characterize both the death of the papilloma, and its degeneration into a malignant formation. Therefore, an urgent examination by a specialist is important.	Threadlike. These neoplasms have a kind of leg, so they are easy to eliminate, scars do not remain.

In this regard, before eliminating the growths, it is important to first determine the malignancy of the formation. Otherwise, therapy may not give the desired result.

Locations on the face

Removal of papillomas on the face can be done using medications or using a hardware method. The choice of manipulations depends on the degree of danger of the formation and its location.

The main places of localization of papillomas on the face are:

• eyelids and near the eyes . Mostly filiform and peaked growths are noted;
• eyebrows . Near the eyebrows can be localized any kind of papillomas. The danger lies in the likelihood of injury to them during cosmetic procedures;
• cheeks . Flat formations prevail, which can be located both on the outer surface of the cheeks and on the inside. Growths on the mucosa are dangerous by regular injury during eating;
• forehead . In this area, papillomas of any kind can be located. The most dangerous place of localization is along the hairline. Since when combing, they can be regularly injured, which can lead to degeneration of formations;
• chin . Outgrowths of a flat or peaked appearance are noted. It is recommended for the male sex to eliminate these growths immediately, since they will be constantly injured, in the process of shaving;
• near the lips . Pointed and flat papillomas predominate, which attract considerable attention, creating aesthetic discomfort;
• near the ears . In this area, flat papillomas are more often noted. Their location near the ear canal is dangerous, since they can be injured during hygiene procedures;
• in the nose . Formations of any kind can be localized. Their presence causes severe psychological discomfort.

The growths on the face can be located either one at a time or in groups. Numerous formations, after their elimination, can leave scars on the face.

How to distinguish from warts and moles

On the skin in the form of growths can be not only papillomas, but also warts and moles. Therefore, before choosing a treatment method, it is important to first determine the type of formation on the epidermis.

Distinctive features of formations:

Comparative features	Papilloma	Mole	Wart
Build-up surface	Soft, friable	Dense, solid.	Rough and keratinized.
Blood supply	They are located close to the blood vessels, so they bleed when injured.	Are absent.	They can be with and without blood vessels.
Color spectrum	Mostly light shades.	Dark colors predominate, since the birthmark is characterized by the accumulation of melanin.	Can be flesh or dark brown.
Localization	Mostly in areas of increased sweating.	On any parts of the body.	On the limbs, head and genitals.
Boundaries of education	The borders are slightly blurred. Small sizes prevail (no more than 1. 2 inch). But they can grow during rebirth.	Clear. Spots can be in diameter from 1/32 inch to several inch.	Clear, flat forms prevail. They have dimensions no more than 0’8 inch.
Soreness and itching	The growths can become inflamed and cause itching.	Are absent.	With pressure on the formation, pain is felt.
Appearance time	They occur with a strong weakening of the immune system.	May be present at birth or appear during the first 3 years of life.	With a weakened immune system and infection in the body.

It is possible to more accurately determine the type of neoplasm after examination by a dermatologist.

What is the danger of papillomas

Removal of papillomas on the face is required without fail when the formations change color, size, itching, and also if the growth is located in a danger zone where it is subjected to regular injuries.

In the absence of therapy, the following complications may develop:

• the most dangerous is the degeneration of formations into malignant tumors with the subsequent development of metastases;

  

• with the location of the growth in the eye area, it can disrupt the review, as a result, visual impairment is noted. Additionally, with the localization of the formation on the eyelids, they can interfere with blinking (that is, moisturizing the mucous membrane) and completely closing the eyes for the period of night rest;
• with trauma, infection can occur with subsequent suppuration and the spread of the pathogen throughout the body.

Additionally, when located on the face, papillomas cause aesthetic discomfort, therefore, need to be eliminated.

Diagnostics

The diagnosis of the type of education is carried out by the specialist in stages:

1. Conversation with the patient . It is made with the purpose of revealing: predisposition to cancerous formations; when and under what conditions the growth appeared or began to change external characteristics; what are the limitations when choosing a method of therapy.
2. Visual examination : the doctor determines the type of growth (wart, papilloma or mole) by external characteristics; reveals the presence of additional symptoms (peeling, itching); determines the degree of danger by the type of papilloma (flat, spiky or filiform).
3. Testing and PCR . Allows you to determine the general condition of the body and the immune system, as well as to detect the presence of a virus in the body.
4. Tissue collection to determine the oncogenicity of education.

Further, depending on the type of papilloma, treatment is prescribed by a dermatologist or oncologist.

Drug treatment

Papillomas of a benign nature can be removed with the use of medications. It is important that medicines cannot be selected without consulting a specialist, especially when localizing growths on the face.

Drugs to enhance the natural functions of the immune system and antiviral effects

Removal of papillomas on the face with hardware methods

Removal of papillomas on the face with the use of equipment allows to eliminate education with high efficiency.

The benefits of the procedures include:

• minimal violation of the integrity of the skin, which ensures high safety;
• education can be eliminated in 1 session, which lasts about 20 minutes;
• during manipulations, the patient practically does not feel pa
  in;
• short rehabilitation period;
• lack of scars at the site of formations.

To eliminate papillomas on the face, the procedures described below are used.

Laser

Removal of the growth is carried out using a laser beam, which leads to the destruction of cells in the neoplasm. After the procedure is completed, a crust forms at the site of the papilloma, which disappears on its own within 5 days.

During the recovery period, it is necessary to avoid prolonged exposure to the floor by sunlight. The likelihood of papillomas reappearing in this zone is excluded.

Cryodestruction

The procedure consists in freezing papilloma tissue with liquid nitrogen. As a result, the cells die, and the formation disappears (approximately 7 days after the manipulations). During the recovery period, it is required to disinfect the treatment area with antiseptic agents. There is a likelihood of recurrence of papilloma (with incomplete destruction of tissue formation by nitrogen).

Radio wave method

Papilloma removal is performed using a laser knife. This method allows you to keep the growth in integrity, for further research is not its malignancy. An additional plus is the possibility of applying the method to sensitive areas of the body. The likelihood of new formations in the treatment area is excluded. The recovery period is about 7 days.

Electrocoagulation

Elimination of papillomas is achieved due to their burning out by high-frequency current, therefore the procedure is prohibited for holding in the eye area. The manipulations are quite painful, so it is recommended to use painkillers.

The recovery period can last up to weeks (you need to use disinfectants). The procedure is dangerous by the appearance of scars at the site of skin treatment.

Surgical removal

It is used in rare cases (in the presence of large papillomas, when other manipulations have failed or are contraindicated). The disadvantage of this procedure is the formation of a scar at the site of the removed growth, as well as a long recovery period and the likelihood of infection of the wound.

Features of eye removal

In the presence of papillomas in the eye area, not all methods are suitable for removing growths. There is a possibility of impaired vision quality in case of accidental mucosal injury. Therefore, the use of aggressive chemicals is ruled out.

It is recommended to use immuno-strengthening, antiviral and anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as the laser method and surgical removal. It is important that the removal of papillomas in the eye area with folk and medication at home is strictly prohibited.

Features of removal near the lips

Very sensitive skin is located in the lip area, so not all methods are also suitable for removing papillomas.

Experts recommend using cauterization with nitrogen, high-frequency current or surgical removal. Aggressive chemicals are prohibited due to the likelihood of getting on the mucosa with subsequent ingestion and poisoning of the body.

Features of facial removal during lactation and pregnancy

During pregnancy and lactation, hormonal failure occurs in the body, as a result, papillomas can form on the skin. It is not recommended to remove them during this period, the probability of independent resorption of formations after the hormonal background is restored is high.

If there is an urgent need to eliminate the growth (there is a high risk of shedding), it is allowed to use laser and radio wave methods, and nitrogen cauterization.

Recovery period, complications

Removal of papillomas on the face with a hardware and surgical method is accompanied by a recovery period.

At this time (about 14 days) is required

• the use of painkillers and disinfectants, which are prescribed by a doctor;
• avoid prolonged exposure to the sun;
• Do not wet the treatment area;
• do not use creams for care and decorative cosmetics;
• independently tear off the formed crust.

Also, until the skin is completely restored, prolonged mechanical stress is not allowed (scratch, use hard towels to wipe the face). Additionally, the use of immuno-strengthening drugs is recommended.

After removing the formations by hardware methods, if the doctor’s prescriptions are not followed, or due to insufficient specialist qualifications, it is possible to form scars on the site of the growth, impaired integrity of nearby tissues, as well as infection under the skin with subsequent suppuration.

Folk remedies for neoplasms on the face

You can eliminate benign papillomas at home using folk recipes, but only after consulting a dermatologist.

The most effective and popular recipes:

• the garlic . Grind the cloves of garlic to a mushy state and combine with baby cream in a 3: 1 ratio. Apply to the papilloma, at night, using a bandage. It is required to use until the education is eliminated. Garlic can be replaced with celandine leaves;
• aloe vera . Grind the leaves of the plant and squeeze the juice from the pulp. Soak a cotton wool in the juice and attach to the growth, fix with a plaster, stand for 30 minutes. Repeat 3-4 times a day. Before each procedure, prepare fresh juice;
• wormwood . Cook 15 g of dry grass in 8,45 fluid ounce of water over low heat for 7 minutes. Strain the broth. Wet cotton wool as part of the composition, fix with a band-aid and stand for 30 minutes. Perform the procedure 1-3 times a day for 3 weeks;
• put onion peel in vinegar 9% and insist 10 days. After this, it is required to apply onion peel to the growth for 7 seconds 2-3 times a day, until the papilloma is completely eliminated.

Papillomas on the face are not only aesthetic discomfort. These formations can be dangerous by degeneration into a cancerous tumor. Therefore, it is important to examine any neoplasm with a dermatologist (especially with severe itching, unnatural color, or painful). Importantly, malignant growths, as well as papillomas located in places of frequent injury, must be removed immediately.
