Causes of papilloma on the eyelids

Before starting treatment, it is necessary to accuratelyestablish the reasons for the appearance of such rashes on the eyelids. Papilloma is an infection of the body with the human papillomavirus, that is, HPV, the strain gets on the eyelids through touch. That is, it is enough to touch the eyelid with a dirty hand, on which there is a micro-scratch, for infection to occur. The virus itself, after it has entered the body, can remain dormant for quite a long time, its awakening is facilitated by a weakening of the immune system, exposure to ultraviolet rays. Young people, children, and the elderly are most often at risk, since they may have some problems with immunity. But young people have a better chance of coping with the disease than children and the elderly, in them the disease may not be expressed so clearly. That is, we can conclude that the causes of papilloma on the eyelids are a weakening of the immune system, stress, overwork, hypothermia, etc. In any case, if you have a papilloma, you should immediately consult a doctor.

Symptoms of viral papilloma

Symptoms of the appearance of a formation on the eyelid are alwaysthe same. A clearly visible growth forms on the skin of the eyelid, which is very similar to a wart. It can be absolutely painless, but it interferes with blinking and looks very unaesthetic. Such a growth can be single, barely noticeable, but there are cases when the papilloma grows strongly, that is, it is necessary to remove it, which is possible in a hospital setting. It is not recommended to diagnose the disease on your own, since some other diseases can have such an appearance. Therefore, you should contact a specialist who will accurately determine the nature of the disease, the treatment will be effective and relatively fast. In addition to a dermatologist, in some cases it is recommended to visit an ophthalmologist, since the neoplasm is located on the eyelids of the eye, often directly adjacent to it. If there are painful sensations, the eye closes poorly, inflammation is observed on the skin, then treatment is necessary from the first days of the disease. Papilloma on the eyelid can only be removed in a hospital.

Ways to get rid of papilloma

Modern medicine offers many waysgetting rid of a papilloma that has affected the eyelid, but, as a rule, it all starts with strengthening the immune system. Removal is very similar to surgical treatment of warts, the doctor performs local anesthesia, after which he carefully removes the papilloma itself from the surface of the skin. The operation does not take much time, healing can take about a week, rarely small scars remain after this. The removal itself can be carried out by several different methods:

• with the help of a scalpel. This method is rarely used for the eye today, because the area of ​​the eyelid is tender enough, the eye is next to it. In addition, it is necessary to remove a very small area of ​​the skin, without hurting other organs. After such removal, scarring may remain, that is, cosmetic operations on grinding will be required;
• using a laser to remove the papilloma from the century easier, this operation is considered safer, it takes only a couple of minutes, but after it can also remain minor scars, almost indistinguishable;
• cryodestruction is carried out with the help of liquidnitrogen. Such removal is considered the easiest and safest, the papilloma is simply burned out under the influence of low temperatures. It is after such treatment that doctors give practically a 100% guarantee that treatment will be successful, relapses are almost never observed.

Self-treatment of papillomas on the eyes is unacceptable, becausehow it can cause severe and serious complications. Many patients buy products in pharmacies that are intended to remove papillomas and warts, but use them incorrectly, without consulting a doctor. Some try to remove the neoplasm with ordinary alcohol, cauterizing the sore spot! Such self-medication leads to only one thing: in place of a relatively small growth, which could be quickly removed with the help of a doctor, inflammation, keratitis, chronic conjunctivitis appear. In the most difficult cases, a malignant tumor develops, the treatment of which is not only difficult and expensive, but also fraught with the most negative consequences. Successful treatment also depends on the prevention of such a disease. Observe eye hygiene, do not rub your eyelids with dirty hands, do not swim in pools and other bodies of water without special glasses.

Folk methods of treatment with papillomas

Treatment of papilloma at home is possibleto carry out with the help of herbal collections, for which it is necessary to mix 20 g of nettle, 20 g of plantain, lemon balm, horsetail and dandelion root (the proportions should be equal everywhere).

Drink the resulting mixture three full tablespoons 40 minutes before meals three times a day, the course of treatment takes a week. You can also use other means: chicken egg white, walnuts and others.
