Wart removal, treatment and behavior

Before we can talk about wart removal or wart treatment, we'll first have to examine the behavior of warts, and their characteristics.

You first have to realize that warts have varied characteristics that can differ significantly, and that there is no standard 'type' of warts.

Basically, warts can pretty much do whatever they want. They can appear one day, and disappear in a week. However, they can also linger around for years should they choose to.

They appear in all sorts of places on your body, and can occur as an isolated wart, or in a cluster.

Some will cause pain, and others won't.

Some are highly contagious, others not so.

As you should have noticed by now, warts are highly erratic in their behavior. And unfortunately, that means that wart removal or wart treatment methods might not always work.

So here is a practical approach to handling warts:

1. Ignore warts if you can, especially if they don't cause any pain or if they don't occur in areas of the skin that can cause substantial embarrassment for you.
2. In under NO circumstances should you try to cut them off yourself, or use your own devised method of wart removal. You could end up causing more problems for yourself than the wart ever did for you.
3. You can always consider a doctor-approved laser cutting method, but this can be rather costly. Unless warts are very large and uncomfortable, surgical removal should be avoided. But remember, warts are caused by viruses, and simply cutting them off won't solve the problem. They can keep coming right back at you.
   
4. You can check out other natural, non-surgical methods that tend to be a much cheaper alternative.

Description of warts

Warts can grow almost any where on your body, and they are most commonly found on the hands, feet and face. They are generally rough protrusions on the skin, and are usually skin colored; although they can grow to be dark and smooth for some people.


Wart removal

If blantently located on your exposed skin, it can most certainly lead to certain embarrassment in social situations. This unsightly example is why many affected individuals constantly look for wart removal treatment.


What causes warts?

Warts are caused by viruses that lead to growths in the top layer of your skin (thus forming the wart).

The viruses are spread through direct contact with a wart, and children are the most vulnerable especially because they generally have a lot of skin contact with others when they play.

Common warts generally form where the skin has been broken, for example around the fingernails where people sometimes chew.

Different wart forms

Seed warts - warts with black dots inside that look like 'seeds'

Plantar warts - warts that form on the bottoms of you feet. They cause much discomfort and pain when walking because the individual's weight pushes them back up into the skin. This is similar to having a large grain of sand in your shoe while walking.

Flat warts - flat warts are generally smaller and flatter than most other warts. They are also called juvenile warts because they are typically small and smooth. They generally form in large numbers that can be as high as a hundred. In children, they usually grow on the face. In adults, they tend to form on the chin and around the lips.

Filiform warts - long, skin-colored warts that commonly grow around the eyes, nose and mouth. They sometimes appear shaped like 'fingers'.

Are warts permanent?

Typically, a wart can heal over variable periods of time. It can take any where from weeks, months and even years for your skin to recover. It all depends on the individual's immune system.

Treatment

Lasers - Doctors commonly use lasers to get rid of warts, but this procedure can be quite expensive.

Drugs - Bleomycin is a drug commonly used to treat cancer, and sometimes warts as well. This method has been associated with numerous side effects and is not commonly recommended.

Natural methods - There are some highly successful wart cures that can be naturally applied. Most people choose this method because it is inexpensive, and easy to apply. Results can typically be observed in 3 days. [read more...]
