Doctors recommend removing all skin neoplasms, which is explained by the fact thatremoval (destruction) will stop the spread of the papillomavirus between people and prevent the development of possible complications.
However, it is up to each one 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 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 ones);
- The presence of genital warts in the anogenital region, even without the detection of oncogenic types of HPV.
Features of the treatment of papillomas
The difference in the treatment of papillomavirus manifestations occurs only with the development of genital warts on the perineum and genital area. In case of damage to other parts of the body, all methods and means are identical: physical removal of papillomas with the use of concomitant antiviral and immunostimulating treatment.
