Papilloma can be a symptom of certain skin cancers and precancerous conditions – it is not advised to postpone an appointment with a dermatologist for papilloma examination, removal and treatment.

Treating papilloma

Papillomata are benign skin growths that can contain cells infected with papilloma virus, which can facilitate further spreading of the infection. The uneven, rough surface with its weakened defensive barrier is favourable for development of infectious processes.

If the skin growths are located in areas prone to traumatisation, they are likely to change their appearance, increase in size. If papillomata are not treated, they can become malignant, posing a serious threat to one’s health (i.e. organ function degradation, closed respiratory tract, urinary tract, cervix, etc.).

When treating papillomata, generally two methods are applied:

The treatment methods are commonly combined.

Papilloma removal methods

The removal method is determined by the patient’s skin characteristics, the size of the skin growth or growths, their location and the final diagnosis.

Removal of papilloma on children

For children, same as for adults, the removal method is determined by the characteristics of the skin growth and the final diagnosis. Administering the anaesthesia to children prior to the removal procedure is slightly troublesome – it is advised to choose the conservative therapy method instead (gradual removal of the skin growth, stimulating the activity of the immune system in fighting the skin growth).

If the papillomatous growth on the child or infant has to be removed, preparing the young patient for the procedure is very important – getting enough sleep, having calming teas or remedies prior to the procedure, also administering pain killers or anaesthetics under the supervision of the dermatologist.

Removing papilloma at home

Various treatments for removing papillomata available at the pharmacies for home use cannot ensure the potency required – the papilloma is not removed in the deeper layers of the skin, leaving the potential for the development and spreading of the infection.

Natural remedies for removing papilloma act only locally. This treatment method can be incompatible with the type of the growth, interfering with timely treatment.

It is important to bear in mind that any home remedy is suitable for removing the visible part of the growth only, leaving the deeper tissue unaffected. If the cause of the papilloma (e.g. immune deficiency) does not get identified and treated, skin growths can become malignant, causing serious harm to one’s health.

Where can I remove papilloma?

A dermatologist is the only specialist that is knowledgeable in skin’s normal and pathological conditions, incl. skin diseases and growths. Only an accurate diagnosis and identified cause of the papilloma formation can ensure the right treatment course and the choice of the most suitable removal method.
