Doctors recommend removing all skin neoplasms, explaining this by the fact that theyelimination (destruction) will stop the spread of the papillomavirus among people and prevent the development of possible complications.
However, it is up to each individual to decide whether or not to remove the papilloma.
But there are conditions in which the removal of papillomas should be carried out as soon as possible. These include:
- Papilloma infection after injury with the development of bacterial inflammation;
- Changes in the appearance of the wart: deformation, ulceration, spontaneous decomposition, indicating its possible malignancy (degeneration of benign cells into malignant cells);
- The presence of genital warts in the anogenital region, even without detection of oncogenic types of HPV.
Features of the treatment of papillomas
The difference in the treatment of manifestations of papillomavirus occurs only with the development of genital warts in the perineum and genital area. In case of damage to other parts of the body, all methods and all means are identical: physical removal of papillomas with concomitant use of antiviral and immunostimulant treatment.
