Papilloma Removal

A papilloma is a skin growth (skin tag) that most commonly develops due to the human papillomavirus (HPV) or friction caused by items such as jewelry or belts. Papillomas may appear on various parts of the body, including the neck, under the breasts, in the groin area, on the genitals, and elsewhere. These skin growths tend to spread, so if a papilloma is not removed in time, multiple new lesions may develop within a short period.

Although papillomas are generally not considered harmful to health, these skin growths, which vary in size and shape, can cause discomfort when wearing clothing or jewelry. Patients also frequently report discomfort related to the cosmetic appearance of the affected areas.

Papilloma removal is performed using a laser. The skin lesions are painlessly removed using light impulses. In most cases, a single treatment is sufficient; however, in rare cases, the procedure may need to be repeated.

Some pain or discomfort may be experienced during the procedure. Depending on its intensity, local anesthesia may be used in certain cases. When local anesthesia is required, a topical anesthetic is applied to the skin.

After the Procedure

Following the procedure, the wound may be painful, ooze slightly, and form a scab. Physical activity is not restricted, and no medical leave is usually required. According to the physician’s recommendations, the wound may be treated with medication and covered with a dressing, which should be changed every 1-3 days until the wound has healed. For at least 24 hours after the procedure, avoid heat exposure, hot water, saunas, and ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The wound may be exposed to water 2-3 days after the procedure. Any dressing that becomes wet after bathing should be replaced. Do not touch, pick, or scratch the scab. For several days after the procedure, avoid using topical products containing tretinoin, retinol, glycolic acid, or salicylic acid.

To ensure effective treatment results, a dermatologist consultation is required (the consultation fee is added to the procedure cost).
