Despite the fact that the modern pharmacological industry offers a huge number of all kinds of drugs for the treatment of warts (papillomas), most people still prefer to use old grandmother’s recipes.
However, does everyone know that you can get rid of papilloma by using ordinary laundry soap? It is worth talking about this in more detail in order to understand the principle of the effect of soap on tumors, as well as to study the rules for using this product, which will allow you to avoid adverse consequences.
Composition of laundry soap and properties
Due to its antibacterial effect, this remedy has been used in folk medicine for a long time. In difficult conditions, surgeons used laundry soap as gloves. To do this, they thoroughly soaped their hands and allowed the foam to dry. Acting as an antiseptic, the resulting layer guaranteed sterility.
Laundry soap is produced in the form of a brown bar with percentages, weight and GOST stamped on it. It consists of the following components:
- palmitic, stearic and lauric acids;
- soda ash;
- sodium carbonate;
- caustic sodium.
It is the acids that have an anti-inflammatory and cleansing effect , and help get rid of papillomas, acne, fungi, and bacteria. The higher the percentage indicated on the bar, the more aggressive the product. To remove papillomas, you need to use 65% laundry soap.
Currently, adhesives, chemical dyes and various fragrances can be added to laundry soap. They are not recommended for the treatment of papillomas. Therefore, before purchasing a product, you should make sure that its composition is natural by reading the technical data sheet.
What is laundry soap
Laundry soap, familiar to almost everyone since Soviet times, is a product of hydrolysis processing of vegetable oils. This recipe was developed in the Middle Ages in France. Hence the second, much less common, name for this cleaning product - Marseille soap. The main criterion for the quality of laundry soap is the percentage of fatty acids, which can be 64% (third grade), 69% (second grade) and 72% (first grade). Usually the percentage is applied to the surface of the briquette.
In addition to salts of fatty acids, which actually provide the detergent effect of soap, its commercial variety also contains a significant amount of alkaline substances. All this provides the typical properties of this product - a drying effect on the skin, an inhibitory effect on a number of bacteria. For this reason, laundry soap has long been used not only to wash clothes, but also to fight with it.
How to treat papillomas with laundry soap
Under no circumstances should various skin growths, and especially papillomas, be torn off or cut off. They should be treated with mild means , one of which includes laundry soap.
Upon contact with water, the product used decomposes into acids and alkalis, so the soap is wetted before use. To treat papillomas, every evening after a shower you need to:
- Gently lather the areas where tumors accumulate. This must be done so as not to accidentally tear off or damage the papillomas.
- After soaping, a thick layer will appear on the skin, which should be allowed to dry and left overnight.
- In the morning, everything must be thoroughly and carefully washed off with warm water and dipped in a towel.
- The procedure should be carried out every evening until the affected area becomes inflamed and begins to turn red. This usually happens on the 3rd or 4th day.
After stopping the use of the treatment, the inflamed tumors will gradually dry out and then fall off.
Recipe for preparing an ointment to remove papillomas
To prepare the ointment, you will need half a bar of soap and one onion. The prepared bar of soap is grated, and the onion is crushed in a blender. To obtain a homogeneous ointment, all ingredients must be thoroughly mixed and placed in the refrigerator.
The smell of the ointment will not be very pleasant, so it is recommended to make compresses with it at night. The papillomas are lubricated with the resulting mixture for seven days. In the morning, the skin is rinsed and dried with a clean towel.
During treatment with such an ointment, the tumors should gradually begin to darken and then fall off.
Laundry soap with herbal ingredients
To enhance the healing effect of soap, it can be mixed with medicinal herbs . The more types of herbs are used, the better the properties of the folk remedy will be. Together with laundry soap you can use:
- immortelle;
- St. John's wort;
- Birch buds;
- chamomile
Recipe:
- Finely grate a 200 gram piece of soap using a grater and add 0.5 liters of water.
- Add one hundred grams of any prepared herb (you can use a mixture of herbs).
- Leave for 20 minutes and strain.
Papillomas are thickly lubricated with the resulting composition overnight .
Using other types of soap
Instead of household soap, tar soap is often recommended to remove papilloma. Its main difference from the usual one is the presence of at least 10% birch tar. This enhances the disinfecting and antiseptic properties of the product and gives the soap anti-inflammatory properties. It has a somewhat specific smell, and this scares many people away. But the smell of tar does not settle on the skin and completely disappears after washing with water. Among its beneficial qualities, wound healing and regenerative properties should also be noted.
Birch tar is a product of dry sublimation of birch bark or (less commonly) common birch wood. It is actively used in both folk and traditional medicine as an excellent antiseptic and anti-inflammatory agent. In cosmetology it is rarely used in its pure form, mainly as part of special soaps, shampoos, ointments and masks.
Tar soap dries the skin much less effectively, but this does not reduce its activity against papillomas. Its effect is ensured by a number of active components of tar, which destroy the affected neoplasm cells. This is how it compares favorably with household soap and therefore can be used by people who have dry and thin skin, especially if papillomas are located on the face, neck and intimate areas. Using laundry soap in these areas can cause severe peeling of the skin.
Hand soap, intimate hygiene soap, baby soap - they all contain a significant amount of moisturizing components and therefore are not able to significantly “dry out” the tumor. Antibacterial soaps will also not help get rid of the problem: papilloma is caused by a virus, not bacteria.
Removing papillomas with laundry soap and thread
To treat large voluminous neoplasms, you can use the following recipe: tie the base of the papilloma , smear the affected area with laundry soap soaked in water.

- Do not soak the soap too much; it should remain thick.
- Do not scratch or injure the treated area, as this may lead to infection.
- Apply the soap solution in a thick layer.
- Stop treatments immediately after slight redness appears.
Papillomas grow and multiply quickly, so they must be removed immediately after they appear. To do this, you can use folk recipes or special ointments. However, local remedies alone will not be enough to treat. Most often, neoplasms appear against the background of weakened immunity, which should be strengthened.
Some recommendations for using soap against papilloma
In order for therapy at home to be successful, you need to follow some recommendations:
- To prevent the development of side effects, you should not increase the concentration of alkali yourself;
- When using products that contain highly allergenic products, it is necessary to conduct a sensitivity test (apply a little of the prepared composition to the bend of the elbow or the area behind the ear, leave for 25-40 minutes, if there is no discomfort, treatment can be carried out);
- When using the medicine, it is advisable to cover the treated areas with gauze or fabric bandages (the use of polyethylene or other materials that do not allow air to pass through is unacceptable).
Reviews
I want to share a simple way to remove papillomas. They started to come out on my neck. At first I thought it was from the chain, but it turned out not. In any case, it is unsightly and very dangerous. When a large wart grew under my arm, I removed it with celandine, but it was very painful. They need to be cauterized very carefully, only one column. If it gets on the body, it will cause a burn.
Later I read that you can dry papillomas with laundry soap. I treated them very simply - I washed them with a washcloth and washed my whole body, especially my neck. After a few days, the papillomas began to dry out and fall off. Now I have some small ones left here and there, but the big ones have dried up and fallen off. I think I'll get rid of them all over time.

There were several small papillomas on my neck that I wanted to get rid of. I read on the Internet that they can be removed with laundry soap. I decided to try it. I lubricated it, as it was written, before going to bed. As a result, after two weeks they fell off!
Oksana, St. Petersburg
I had one quite large papilloma on my neck, which I recently removed with laundry soap.
For just two days I smeared it with soapy water and covered it with a band-aid. This time was enough for it to dry out. My neck has been clear for two months now, although I didn’t really believe in the result. Galina, Tomsk
