Removal of multiple papillomas

Papilloma Removal

A papilloma is a skin growth (skin tag) that most commonly develops due to the human papillomavirus (HPV) or as a result of friction caused by items such as jewelry or belts. Papillomas can appear in various areas of the body, including the neck, under the breasts, in the groin area, on the genital region, 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, may cause discomfort when wearing clothing or jewelry. Patients also frequently report discomfort due to the aesthetic appearance of the affected areas.

Papilloma removal is performed using laser treatment. The skin lesions are painlessly removed using light pulses. In most cases, a single treatment session is sufficient, although repeat treatment may occasionally be required.

Some discomfort or pain 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 during healing, and develop a scab. Physical activity is not restricted, and no medical leave certificate is 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 treated area may be exposed to water 2–3 days after the procedure. Any dressing that becomes wet after washing or bathing should be replaced. Do not touch, pick, or remove the scabs that form during healing. For several days after the procedure, avoid using topical products containing tretinoin, retinol, glycolic acid, or salicylic acid.

To ensure the most effective treatment outcome, a dermatologist consultation is required (the consultation fee is added to the procedure price).
