Warts

Warts

The human papillomavirus causes warts, which are raised lumps on the skin (HPV). Warts have afflicted people for thousands of years; they were discovered on a 3,000-year-old mummy and Shakespeare mentions them.

Although warts are seldom hazardous, they are unpleasant, potentially unsightly, and infectious. They can also be excruciatingly uncomfortable. Warts, on the other hand, can be treated at home or by a medical expert.



Types of Warts

Warts are divided into five categories. Each variety has a distinct look and occurs on a different place of the body.

  1. Common warts
  2. Plantar warts
  3. Flat warts
  4. Filiform warts
  5. Periungual warts

Treatment

There are various treatments and medicines warts removals available.

Cryotherapy 

To freeze off the wart, our wart doctor specialists employ liquid nitrogen, which may reach temperatures as low as -320 F. Before performing cryosurgery, he may use a blade to remove dead skin from the wart region.

Electrosurgery

Electrosurgery is a treatment that includes burning a wart on the skin. This is accomplished by passing an electrical charge via the tip of a needle, which causes the wart tissue to dry and burn away. A painful local anesthetic injection must first numb the skin around the wart.

Treatments and patches containing salicylic acid

The products must be used every day, frequently for several weeks. It’ll work best if you soak the wart in water for about 15 minutes before applying the treatment and follow the packaging guidelines.
