Castor oil from papillomas: properties and rules for use
Various means can be used to cleanse the skin of papillomas. One of them is castor oil. This article will tell you more about the properties and rules for using this tool.
Operating principle
Papillomas are formations that appear on various parts of the skin. The appearance of such skin formations can be different. However, most often papillomas on the skin look like small skin outgrowths with a thick base. The color of such elements can be different - from pale pink to brown. In appearance, these skin formations resemble a rooster's comb or cauliflower.
The cause of the appearance of such formations on the skin is papillomavirus infection. This disease is caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Microbiologists distinguish several different types of such microorganisms. Viruses of this type can damage not only the skin, but also the mucous membranes.
Papillomas are not only an aesthetic problem. These formations can be injured if they are located on open areas of the skin. If the papilloma is damaged, bleeding appears (in some cases, quite strong). Also, traumatization of such an element can lead to the introduction of a secondary infection. That is why it is impossible to neglect the treatment of these formations.
If papillomas appear on the skin, then mandatory therapy is required.
To cleanse the skin of papillomas, you can use castor oil. This product can be purchased at any pharmacy. This tool is inexpensive, so even people with a limited financial budget can carry out treatment with them.
High-quality castor oil contains only components that are beneficial to the body. As part of this product there is a whole complex of various fatty components. So, it contains oleic, linoleic and ricinoleic acids. The special chemical composition of this product contributes to the fact that it is absorbed into the skin rather slowly.
The peculiarity of castor oil in the treatment of papillomas is also that it is able to penetrate deep into the layers of the skin. All biologically active components contained in this product reach directly to the base of the papilloma. Such an effect contributes to the fact that the element formed on the skin begins to gradually dry out from the very base. At the same time, the substances contained in this product help to accelerate cellular regeneration.
This oil product also has a negative effect on human papillomaviruses. Integuments at the same time are cleared gradually. For papillomas to disappear, sufficient time is required. At first, the skin formation dries out a little. This leads, as a rule, to a change in its color. So, the papilloma begins to turn pale, and its color becomes less saturated. After several treatments, the papilloma gradually dries up and then disappears.
Benefit and harm
Castor oil helps not only against papillomas. This oil product has a complex effect on the skin. So, this component contributes to:
- accelerate the healing of damaged skin areas;
- nutrition and saturation of the skin with vitamins;
- decrease in the intensity of pigmentation;
- skin rejuvenation.
Castor oil contains many fatty components. Each of them has a certain effect on the human body. For example, linoleic acid is necessary to accelerate cellular regeneration. Ricinoleic acid helps to reduce inflammation that occurs due to virus damage by organisms.
Castor oil for the treatment of papillomas should be used with caution. This product is rich in herbal ingredients that have a strong effect on the body. Before treating a large area of skin on which papillomas are located, you should try applying an oil product to one papilloma. After such treatment, severe itching, redness or swelling should not occur. If such symptoms appear, then they may be the result of an allergic pathology.
Allergy to castor oil is a contraindication to the treatment of papillomas with this product. Also, treatment of such skin formations should not be carried out in the presence of individual intolerance to castor oil. Do not treat pregnant and lactating mothers. Therapy in this case is better to postpone for a while after the end of lactation. Inflammatory skin diseases are another contraindication for the treatment of papillomas on the skin.
If a person has such pathologies, then it is better to treat skin formations caused by human papillomaviruses together with a doctor.
In the presence of open skin lesions, castor oil therapy should also not be carried out.This should be done when the wound has healed. During the treatment of papillomas, you should not sunbathe or stay in the sun for a long time. Also, during such home therapy, you do not need to use scrubs or cosmetic products that contain any aggressive chemical additives.
Oil solution preparation
For the treatment of skin lesions caused by HPV, you can use not only castor oil. This product is quite concentrated. Frequent treatment of papillomas with such a remedy can lead to adverse manifestations. If castor oil is mixed with other oil products, then you can also achieve the desired result, but at the same time reduce the risk of developing possible complications of such home treatment.
Castor oil can be mixed with other oils ("base"). So, to dilute castor oil, you can use olive or sunflower oil. In this case, the oils should be mixed in a ratio of 1: 2. In this case, the base oil should be twice as much. In this way, it is better to dilute castor oil for people who have increased skin sensitivity.
Traditional medicine experts recommend using various products based on castor oil and other components for the treatment of papillomas. Such complex tools help to achieve the best result. For example, for the treatment of papillomas, you can use a mixture of castor oil and soda. Both of these components have a negative effect on human papillomaviruses, which leads to cleansing of the skin.
To prepare an effective oil solution, mix castor oil and regular baking soda.In this case, both ingredients should be taken in a ratio of 1: 1. The prepared oil-soda solution should be used to treat papillomas three times a day. You can mix castor oil with various herbal ingredients. So, dry chamomile flowers can be used to cleanse the skin. So, crushed vegetable raw materials in the amount of 2.5 tbsp. l. you need to pour 100 ml of castor oil and leave to infuse. This only takes a couple of hours.
After this time, the treatment mixture can be used. In this oil solution, you need to moisten a cotton pad and treat it with a skin area where papillomas are located. If there is a single skin formation on the skin, then it is better to treat it with a cotton swab. Other means can be used to cleanse the skin. To prepare it, you should mix two oils - castor and tea tree. Skin rashes should be treated with such an oily solution directly.
It is better to carry out such processing at least twice a day.
Rules for the procedure
Treatment of papillomas and warts at home should be done with extreme caution. The method of using the oil product is quite simple. Before applying castor oil to the skin, the skin should be washed and steamed well. This pre-treatment will help the biologically active components contained in castor oil to more easily penetrate the skin.
Before applying the oil product to the skin, it is better to warm it up a little. To do this, you can use a water bath. It is not necessary to overheat the oil. This may lead to a change in its physical properties.To warm the skin before applying castor oil, you need to put a warm compress on it. After that, an oil product can already be applied to the skin. Do it better with a cotton swab. A very small amount of oil product is enough to treat papilloma.
If there are several papillomas on the skin and they are located on the legs or abdomen, then in this case it is more convenient to treat skin rashes with a cotton pad. To do this, you need to apply a small amount of the oil product on the disk, and then gently apply it to the skin area on which papillomas “grow”.
You can remove skin formations not only on the hands, stomach or face, but also in intimate places. Removal of papillomas in such areas is a rather complicated process. In some people, getting castor oil on the mucous membranes can cause severe irritation, redness and severe itching. So, the treatment of papillomas in this way should be abandoned in the presence of inflammatory diseases of the external genitalia.
Papillomas can also be localized on the face. In some cases, these skin rashes appear even near the eyes. With this arrangement, care must be taken when applying oil mixtures.
It is very important to apply castor oil to skin rashes with a cotton swab in such a way that this agent does not get into the eyes. If the oil product gets into the eyes as a result of careless application, this can provoke the development of severe conjunctivitis.
Castor oil can also be used for therapeutic compresses. So, on a skin area covered with papillomas, you should put a small piece of cotton wool or a bandage moistened with castor oil or an oil mixture made on its basis.For better fixation, it is better to fix the compress with adhesive tape. You need to keep such a therapeutic compress on the skin for 3.5-4 hours. It should be noted that treatment in this way is possible only if castor oil is well tolerated.
To achieve the result, papillomas should be treated with castor oil three times a day. The course of treatment is usually designed for 1-1.5 months. During this time, papillomas during treatment should decrease in size, and some even disappear completely. If, on the background of such therapy, there is no improvement, then in this case, the use of castor oil should be abandoned and some alternative method of treatment should be chosen.
Reviews and advice from doctors
The opinions of people who resorted to cleansing the skin from papillomas with castor oil are very different. Some say that this method helped them, while others say that it does not work. Doctors also note that papillomas should be treated comprehensively. Just using castor oil to cleanse your skin may not be enough. This method can only lead to temporary relief of the skin from papillomas. However, after some time, such formations may appear again.
Dermatologists note that papillomavirus infection should be treated comprehensively. So, not only external agents are used for therapy, but also drugs that affect the functioning of internal organs. In complex treatment, both antiviral drugs and agents that stimulate the immune system are used. Doctors note that home therapy for papillomas with castor oil often remains ineffective. In order not only to cleanse the skin of such formations, but also to treat papillomavirus infection, a mandatory consultation with a specialist is required.
