The types of benign formations that appear on the human body include papillomas. These small mushroom-shaped shoots tend to grow rapidly. They occur in different parts of the body and affect a person’s appearance. To remove them, traditional folk remedies are often used, for example, castor oil for papillomas.
What is castor oil?
It is a viscous liquid, yellowish in color. It is extracted from an extremely poisonous plant - castor bean. But don’t be alarmed - toxic substances have no chance of getting into the oil, since they completely remain in the cake. High-quality oil is obtained by cold pressing, and a lower quality product is obtained after using high temperatures when processing raw materials.
Castor oil is a mixture of triglycerides ricinoleic, oleic and linoleic acids. It does not form a film and does not dry out. Eighty percent of the composition is glycerides of ricinoleic acid, which contains only one bond in one molecule.
Before starting treatment, you need to make sure that castor oil does not cause you an allergy. Its manifestations are quite simple to determine: when applied externally, the skin itches, turns red, and there is a burning sensation.
Contraindications
The external use of castor oil has virtually no restrictions. The only contraindication is the presence of individual intolerance to the components of the product included in its composition.
To prevent an allergic reaction, it is necessary to apply a small amount of the product to the inner surface of the forearm before use. The result of the skin test must be taken into account 20–40 minutes after application. If there is no redness, itching, or rash, then the patient can fight papillomas with castor oil.
Useful properties of oil
Castor oil for papillomas, as well as other skin growths, was used in the distant past, when there were no effective medications. Despite the fact that today medicine has made great strides in the treatment of such problems, and these days there are effective ways to combat this disease, and many who want to get rid of unattractive growths use castor oil for papillomas. Reviews about this treatment are in most cases positive, but among them there are also statements that patients did not receive the expected result. Why is this happening? You will learn about this at the end of our article.
The beneficial properties of castor oil include:
- moisturizing the skin;
- prevention of peeling;
- discoloration of age spots;
- rejuvenating effect;
- activation of hair growth.
How to get rid of papillomas on the body?
Papillomas, condylomas, warts are an external manifestation of infection of the body with the papilloma virus. Official medicine today has many medications to treat this disease. Traditional healers also know the secrets of treatment. One of the most popular remedies is ordinary castor oil, which has been popularly known for its medicinal properties since ancient times.
It not only quickly and effectively gets rid of tumors, but also perfectly restores the affected skin.
In intimate places
Diluted castor oil can be used in the complex treatment of papillomas on the mucous membrane. The prepared solution is used to lubricate the affected areas.
Important: Before use, you should definitely consult a gynecologist.
Castor oil for papillomas: application
It is better to use castor oil not in pure form, but in diluted form. This will save you from unwanted reactions of the body. This is especially important to consider when removing papillomas from the skin of the neck and face. It is better to use a 10% oil solution. If treatment with a recinol solution is carried out for a month, you can get rid of skin lesions completely. The course of treatment depends on the size of the growths and how far they have spread throughout the skin.
Many healers recommend using bird feathers to apply the medicinal composition.
Precautionary measures
Patients should not use castor seed oil if they have:
- damage to the integrity of the skin in the area of papilloma;
- skin diseases at the location of the growth.
It should be remembered that external use of castor oil increases the absorption of substances applied to the skin at the same time. Therefore, before using medicinal mixtures, a sensitivity test must be carried out without fail, even if there is no allergy to individual components.
Removal of papillomas from different parts of the body
Castor oil for papillomas can be used on any part of the body. It is important to be careful when doing this, trying to avoid getting the oil on open wounds on the skin or in the eyes. How to get rid of papillomas on the body? If the growths are on the limbs, neck, face, then use a cotton pad. Apply a little diluted drug to it and apply it to the papilloma. For convenience, the disc or moistened gauze is glued with an adhesive plaster. This bandage is left for three to four hours. Then it must be replaced with a new one.
Papillomas that appear in the intimate area require special care. It is very important not to damage the formation (although this caution applies to all areas). As you understand, it is unlikely that it will be possible to stick a compress on such an area, so the oil is applied to the growth using a cotton swab.
Such formations on the face look unattractive, and around the eyes they cause a lot of inconvenience to a person. Many folk remedies are too toxic, so they cannot be used in this case. But you can use castor oil for papillomas on the eyelids, although this is not easy to do. You must be very careful when applying the composition. It is necessary to treat the neoplasm with an applicator or a cotton swab. Under no circumstances should the composition be allowed to come into contact with the mucous membrane.

My mother was found to have a large number of papillomas in her armpits and neck. The dermatologist did not recommend potent drugs, but recommended smearing with regular castor oil. After a month of treatment, I was able to completely clear my skin. The growths fell off on their own after a certain time, without causing pain.

Recently I had to deal with the consequences of the papilloma virus entering my body. An unusual spot appeared on the neck. At the appointment, the dermatologist said that this is how HPV manifests itself. The doctor prescribed me diluted castor oil and advised me to apply it daily. The result shocked me, because after just a month the skin on my neck had an even and natural tone.
Yulianna, St. Petersburg
I read that castor oil can remove various tumors and papillomas on the skin.
In my case, it completed the task in a week. I applied it after a shower to my entire body, after which I removed the excess and went to bed. The next morning I took a shower again. On the 7th day, the skin became much softer, the papillomas began to disappear on their own. I heard that some people treat their skin with castor oil for almost a month. I did not use it for more than 7 days, as the formations disappeared and did not appear again. In addition to getting rid of tumors, I also noticed such a positive effect as an improvement in the overall condition of the skin. Nina, Penza

Doctors' opinion on castor oil for getting rid of papillomas
It is quite natural that many people suffering from this disease are interested in how effective this method is, is it safe, and is it possible to carry out treatment on their own at home? It must be recognized that doctors do not give a clear answer. Some recommend using this method of treatment, others are categorically against it.
And yet, most doctors believe that the tumor should be removed in the clinic after a preliminary examination. It is especially important to heed this recommendation if papilloma appears in an intimate place. Official medicine offers safe treatment methods: laser or radio wave therapy. These methods have already been well developed and tested. They always give excellent results.
At the same time, doctors recognize that this method can bring the desired result, but subject to preliminary examination of the tumor and compliance with all rules for using the oil.
Preparation and carrying out the procedure
It will not be possible to remove warts and papillomas with castor oil too quickly. This remedy only helps after a certain time. The course of treatment may take a week or more, or a maximum of a month.
Attention! Do not use several products at the same time. This can cause an exacerbation of the disease and delay the treatment process.
Before use, you need to determine what type the neoplasm belongs to. A dermatologist will help with this.
The area of the growth is cleaned with laundry soap and dried with a napkin. To soften the formation, a warm compress is applied to it before the procedure. Next, select one of the application methods:
- Compress with oil. 3-4 drops of heated castor oil are applied pointwise to the papillomas, and a pharmaceutical bactericidal patch on a water-resistant basis is glued on top. The procedure is performed twice a day - in the morning and before bed until the papilloma is completely eliminated. The course usually lasts 7 days.
- Massage. A little warm product is applied to the problem area and massaged with light movements for about 5 minutes two to three times a day. The average treatment time is 4-7 days, but you may have to repeat the course within a month. The method is not used for tumors that are too large. The product applied to the skin must be completely absorbed so as not to leave greasy stains on clothes.
One effective method is a composition with turmeric and castor oil. Curcumin contained in the seasoning helps suppress viruses and has anti-cancer properties, and enhances the effect of castor oil in the fight against papillomas.
The recipe is as follows:
- Ground turmeric is mixed with castor oil in a 1:1 ratio, so that a homogeneous thick paste is obtained, covered with gauze and left for 20 minutes.
- The ointment is applied to problem areas with a cotton swab and allowed to absorb well.
- Excess is removed with a dry cloth.
The procedure is repeated 3 times a day until the papillomas disappear completely.
You can also use a mixture of baking soda and three drops of castor oil at home to get rid of warts caused by HPV. The composition is applied to warts and moles at night.
According to user reviews, a recipe with garlic also helps. One clove of garlic needs to be crushed, rub the warts with clean castor oil, and apply garlic on top and secure with a band-aid. You can leave it overnight and remove it in the morning and rinse with water.
Attention! After removing the growths, use a mixture of castor oil and sea buckthorn oil. It helps protect against the appearance of new papillomas. The heated mixture is wiped over the armpits, neck and face - places where skin formations most often occur.
