HPV remedies help destroy warts and can be used only by the doctor in the office or applied by the patient at home, depending on the symptoms and the severity of the infection.
Treatment for HPV is time consuming and sometimes expensive, but the lack of treatment can lead to worsening of the lesions, increase the chances of spreading the disease and, in some cases, can lead to cancer. It is estimated that, with the right treatment, HPV cure can be achieved in about 2 years.
Remedies for HPV
Some drugs to combat HPV can be applied by the doctor in the office, such as 70 and 90% trichloroacetic acid (ATA), which works by destroying warts, 15% Podophylline, in the case of minor injuries, since it causes a small local irritation, or 5-fluorouracil, which prevents the division of the HPV virus in the lesions, favoring their elimination.
It is important that the chosen medication is applied 1 to 2 times a week in the doctor's office for the treatment to be effective.
Home treatment with topical remedies
In some cases, treatment for HPV can be carried out at home, using:
- Podophyllotoxin 0.15%, which should be applied twice a day, for 4 consecutive days. Then, a 4-day break should be taken so that the treatment can be started again; 5% imiquimod associated with trichloroacetic acid, which should be applied to genital warts at bedtime, 3 times a week, for up to 4 months. It is important to wash the treated area 6 to 10 hours after applying the medication.
The doctor usually leaves the information related to the mode and time of use of the medication in writing so that the person can follow the treatment correctly and thus be effective. Learn how to achieve HPV cure.
