There are millions of people around the world that have warts on their skin. These warts are a minor skin condition that can make you feel embarrassed in front of other people. Some warts can have a similar appearance to moles, but unlike moles they are non cancerous. These warts can show up on just about any area on the body. If you have warts chances are you are trying to find different things you can do to remove them.
In this article I’m going to go over some of the most common removal methods you can use to get rid of warts. Before you do anything you need to go to the doctor first and get the warts checked. Many times warts will look like other skin conditions. You have to know for sure you’re dealing with a wart before you start to treating it as such. There are numerous doctors and dermatologists out there that specialize in identifying warts and removing them. These professionals will determine if you have a wart by taking a sample of your blood.
If you know for certain you have a wart then there are many ways to treat the problem. If you go to a doctor or dermatologist they’ll most likely recommend over the counter products that contain sacylic acid. The acid will burn away the warts from your skin, but if you have sensitive skin it could leave a mark behind. Another method doctors use to remove warts is freezing it away with a solution like liquid nitrogen.
Another way doctors will remove warts is by using laser procedures. These procedures work by passing the laser beam over the top layer of your skin where the warts are situated. Once the beam of the laser passes over the top layer of your skin it will kill the blood cells that supply blood to the warts. Most of the time no anesthesia is required during these removal procedures.
If medical treatments aren’t something you’re interested in you can give home remedies a try. These home remedies are cheap to use and they have less a chance of leaving behind scars. One of the most popular ways to remove warts at home is to use duct tape. You simply cut a piece of the tape big enough to cover the entire area that’s been affected and keep it in position over night. When you wake up in the morning remove the tape and scrub the area with an emery board. Applying some tea tree oil to the affected area can also help too.
