Papilloma ointment is often used to fight skin growth. The effectiveness of this agent depends on the composition, nature of action, degree of infection. Papillomas on the body and mucous membranes appear when the papilloma virus enters the body.

How to get rid of papillomas
Papilloma is a neoplasm of the skin that is benign. In very rare cases, the papilloma can degenerate into a malignant tumor. If the papilloma is not causing any discomfort (physical or emotional), then you cannot get rid of it.
But if the neoplasm is causing pain, for example when rubbing against clothes, it should be treated without fail. It is best to consult an experienced doctor about the possible and preferred methods of treating papilloma. Often experts recommend removing papilloma by one of the following methods:
- Surgery (excision under local anesthetic).
- Liquid nitrogen (cryodestruction).
- Acid.
- Laser.
- Electric shock (electrocoagulation).
Many people use traditional medicine to fight papillomas. Before using traditional methods, you need to consult a doctor. Some products cannot be used, for example on the face, other products can cause their own side effects.
The use of ointments to remove papillomas, as opposed to instant surgery, laser removal, refers to a less severe method of treating neoplasms.
