Warts are growths, which are found on the surface of the skin. The human papillomavirus causes the occurrence of warts and this is also responsible for the occurrence of cervical cancer. Many people feel that warts are a condition, which is contagious, and it will easily spread among all members of the family. But there is a very high probability that only one member of the family will be affected by these warts. Sometimes they will make their presence felt on only any one portion of the body like the hands and the feet.
Warts, which are present on the body, will also belong to many different shapes and sizes. There are certain warts, which are in the shape of a horseshoe, and they will usually be found on the lips or around the corners of the mouth. Children between the ages of 12-16 are easily susceptible to these kinds of warts.
Symptoms of Warts :
Warts will be present in the form of small bumps on the surface of the skin and they will be very small and fleshy. They could be either pink or white in color and they will feel very rough when touched. Sometimes only a single wart will be present on the skin while it could sometimes be present in the form of bunches and clusters. Scars or black dots will start appearing on the skin in case the warts are plucked and pinched. They are also known as wart seeds. These are actually another name for blood vessels, which have been clotted. The actual region of the occurrence of warts should be well taken care of in order to prevent the occurrence of warts in the future.
Treatment of Warts
- Salicylic Acid - This kind of treatment is available in the form of gels, pads, drops and plasters. This is very useful in the treatment of small warts as well as large warts. Salicylic acid will help in dissolving the proteins, which are present inside the surface of the warts.
- Freezing - This form of aerosol treatment of warts is easily available over the counter. The warts, which are present on the skin, will be frozen to a temperature of 70 degrees. This is equivalent to the temperature of liquid hydrogen, which is used very often by dermatologists.
- Duct Tape - This is a method, which is used by many people at home in order to treat warts. They help in de- voiding the warts of any kind of oxygen. There are many people who also decide to make use of electrical tape for this purpose. But it is difficult to keep the electrical tape in the right place for a long period of time.
All these methods of treating warts are extremely safe but it requires a lot of patience in order to ensure that all these forms of treatment are executed in the right manner. There is no specific time for the appearance and the disappearance of these warts. There is also no kind of guarantee that these warts will disappear after the specific kind of treatment has been administered.
Prevention of Warts
Shaving and brushing should be avoided on those areas where warts are present. A file or clipper, which has been used on the warts, should not be used on your nails. Nails should not be bitten in case there are warts, which are present around your fingers. Warts should not be picked otherwise they will easily spread to other parts of the body.
