How To Remove Warts At Home

View:

While warts are generally harmless they certainly are not attractive and when one springs up in an unfortunate place it can be very off-putting and embarrassing. How to remove warts then? thankfully there are many wart treatments out there, so many in fact you may be a little spoiled for choice and do not know which one is best! The place to start is to understand the type of wart you have then find the best applicable treatment so let's take a look!

Verruca Vulgaris

Also known as the common wart this type shows as a thickened bump of skin often with a rough surface that often has small spots from clotted blood vessels. Usually found on the hands, elbow and knees.

Flat Warts

As the name suggests this wart is quite a flat bump on the skin and are usually brown or skin colored. The flat wart is mainly seen mainly on women's faces.

Plantar Warts

These are a most annoying wart as they grow only on the feet and can be very painful. They tend to be large and flat growing into the skin rather than out of the skin and many cases have reported it spreading too much of the foot making walking and running very difficult.

Genital Warts

These warts are often like common warts though they appear in the region around the genitals. There is a chance that some subtypes of these warts can become cancerous and should be seen by a doctor who can determine if this might be the case!

There are many over the counter remedies that claim they can cure warts but many people find themselves resistant to such treatments and have to rely on more drastic action.

Other such methods of wart removal are cryotherapy where a doctor literally freezes your wart with liquid nitrogen, this kills the growth but not the connecting skin. The wart is removed then a scab will form for a time and heal naturally leaving the skin clear. This is not a good choice for Plantar warts as the resulting sore from the process is often more painful than the wart itself!

Another method of treatment is using salicylic acid which involves soaking the wart then cutting it slightly to apply the acid. You must keep the surrounding skin safe with petroleum jelly however and this process must be repeated day after day until it is gone. You can get these products over the counter however and do not need to see a doctor.

The choice is yours on how to remove warts and many of you may have tried many remedies before and failed so must search for another one for your particular type of wart. The solution to your wart problem may just be the next thing you try however so good luck!

How To Remove Warts At Home

Warts are often unsightly and discomforting to find no matter where they are on your body. In fact, many people are so embarrassed about them that they try to conceal them with band-aids so that other people will not be able to see them. For those who get tired of always wearing band aids here are some tips on how to remove warts both medically and using herbal or natural remedies.

First, off, you will need to see your doctor for any of the medical treatments, of course. He or she can recommend what they think is the best way to remove your particular type of wart. If you don't want surgery or laser treatment, you can try some of the natural methods listed below first, then if they don't work go ahead to your doctors and see what they recommend – the natural methods don't hurt and have no side effects while the surgical methods can be painful and leave a scar.

There are three primary kinds of surgery that can be utilized to remove your warts, and these are:

• Laser treatment - This requires the application of a powerful beam to abolish the warts.

• Electrosurgery - This entails the use of an electric current to burn off the warts.

• Cryosurgery - This needs the application of extremely low temperatures to be able to freeze the warts.

Laser treatment may be a little sore but this depends on some things attributed to your wart and things attributed to the laser device that is used. Lasers can actually be a relatively pain free and non-intrusive way to treat warts so it is something you really should consider.

Electro surgery can be quite painful and following the treatment, you may feel some discomfort and there can be some discharge in the area where the wart was. It may take up to six weeks before it can fully heal. One of the main disadvantages of this treatment is that it generally leaves a scar.

Cryosurgery is the most popular wart removal treatments today and has been used for quite some time in wart treatment. This procedure that involves the freezing of the wart can be quite costly and at times may require a few visits to the clinic to in order for treatment to be completed.

1. Crush garlic cloves and cover the wart with the crushed garlic. Put a bandage over this for 1 week.

2. Rub banana peel on the wart several times a day until it goes away.

3. "Suffocate" the wart with duct tape.

4. Crush up a vitamin C pill and put the powder on the wart - cover with a bandage. Repeat for several days until the wart disappears.
