Why is it Important to have a Wart Removal Treatment?
You may have heard from friends or family that they once had a wart that just disappeared after a while, so why are you making such a big fuss about having yours removed? Now it has to be said that this can in fact be the case. Warts can come and go without any treatment whatsoever, so people may notice them on their bodies and then, within ten weeks to two years they simply disappear without ever causing pain or tenderness. It all depends on how healthy your immune system is!

So what exactly is a wart and how would you recognise it if you had one? Warts are caused by the papilloma virus and are also known as veruccas when occurring on the soles of the feet and backs of toes, where they can cause a lot of pain and discomfort. Usually, what distinguishes a wart from a fungal infection is a black spot in the centre of a fleshy discoloration of the skin. The whole area can become hard and scabby and can spread either as a single area or as multiple areas close to each other or quite far apart.

The reason they should be treated as soon as you become aware of them is that they are extremely contagious. The papilloma virus loves warm moist environments so swimming pools and other communal bathing areas are often where people first catch this virus. They then take it home with them and spread it around their home, in bathrooms and even kitchens, depending on where the virus takes hold. Hands and fingers can spread the contagion everywhere whereas, at least, feet tend to be covered up most of the time so keep the virus confined.

For those with the healthiest of immune systems the symptoms may not even show up so they become the spreaders of the virus since they have no idea that they are passing it on to others when they visit the changing rooms in sports clubs and gymnasiums. Then there are those whose immune systems are compromised for one reason or another who develop long term serious outbreaks of warts in embarrassing parts of their body.

So how do we get rid of this troublesome virus?

There are many off -the- shelf home remedies, mostly using salicylic acid, which burns out the live cells and, combined with filing once a day over a course of twelve weeks to remove the dead cells and work on the living cells infected with the virus below can prove effective. It is not guaranteed, however, and can cause more pain than the wart itself, depending on the sensitivity of the area being treated.

Alternatively, ordinary grey duct tape is another way of treating warts, by keeping them covered for a few days and then debriding to remove the dead cells using an emery board, repeating this until the warts have gone completely.

Professional treatments are far more likely to succeed in awkward places or where the warts have spread to a large area. Cryogenic treatment freezes the virus and is not always the best way because it can be painful and take months of work. Sometimes a pain free minor surgical treatment can be the quickest and most effective guaranteed way to remove the entire area at one time to prevent any further spreading.
