Abstract:
Skin papillomas are noncancerous and outward-growing lumps that doesn’t spread and are not aggressive.Papillomas are also known as verruca or warts when they reach to the skin. The surface in which papilloma occurs in is called epithelia. The most common cause for papillomas is Human papillomavirus (HPV). There are more than 100 different HPV types. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) warts are considered to occur because of liver weakness, caused by wind heat invasion. The treated patient is a woman who was admitted to the clinic for removal of multiple skin warts located on the neck. Only one treatment was made with fire-needle acupuncture. Acupuncture was done directly on the warts with a few punctures on one wart. Treatment was with duration of 5-10 minutes. After the treatment, the skin needed one week to heal and the warts to fall off. After one week all warts were gone. Acupuncture whether done with hot or cold needles, can significantly improve people's health, boost theimmunity, remove viral infections, enhance the blood and Qi flow, and especially when done properly by a good trained doctor the positive results are inevitable.
