ALL ABOUT
WARTS.
BY
IVAN HINCE
Warts
are caused by a viral infection and medically that
infection is known as human papilliomaviris.
It is
estimated that 70% of people carry this virus and that
warts can occur at any time. Sometimes they appear on
the fingers, and other times on the face or genitals.
Like
all viruses they can appear at any time and likewise
they can disappear just as fast. They are contagious to
the person that has them and can quickly spread to
different areas and cleanliness is important to stop the
spreading.
The
most painful of warts can be the verruca type which tend
to be on the bottom of the feet usually on the heels or
the ball of the foot.
For a
perfect warts cure there are many ways to
remove them although none of them
are very quick. Doctors tend to use the
cryosurgery method where the warts are subjected to
freezing liquid nitrogen.
Initially this can be quite painful but the results are
usually good, and in most cases it will take a week or
just over.
You can
also buy cures over the counter at your chemist which
normally are based on salicylic acid which when placed
on the wart it will kill the infection off. This
method does take a little longer, and you have to keep
re-applying to get good results.
For
natural cures there are several that different people
will tell you about, and each person will have different
views on how good they are.
The
first I will mention is from the use of duct tape which
is wrapped around the finger for a week at a time.
Some people swear by this method, while others will talk
about the use of banana skin place underneath a bandage,
and the same also goes for a crushed clove of garlic.
But all
these ideas do not get rid of genital warts as they are
in such an awkward place unless you go for the
cryosurgery which I could imagine would be quite
painful.
Another
over the counter remedy could be more beneficial for
these areas and that is by using silver nitrate which
usually comes in the form of a caustic pencil.
Again great care and cleanliness is needed to avoid
burning in tender areas.
I
did find one website that offered a cure in seven days
and if anyone wanted to check it out you can do so by
clicking this link. Again this is offered as a natural
cure and I have to say that I have not checked it out
personally.
