Remedies for warts and papillomas in pharmacies - names, properties

Warts are benign formations located on the surface of the skin and exceeding its limits. Growths have different sizes and shapes, differ from each other in color. However, they are all associated with the defeat of the body by the papillomavirus. Which drugstore papilloma and warts remedy is better to choose? This topic will be explored in detail in the article.

The papilloma virus settles in the lower layer of the epidermis, causing new cells to grow and divide. Sometimes a person independently cures papillomas without specific drugs. But most often the formations disappear only after intensive treatment, and in severe cases they degenerate into oncological tumors.

Warts often cause the patient only moral discomfort, as warts located on open areas of the skin look unsightly.

Another reason for the need for treatment is a slight injury to warts located on accessible areas of the body (arms, legs, head). Mechanical damage leads to wart size growth or infection.

There are several ways to get rid of the problem: surgical and conservative. Most often, doctors resort to the second technique.
