If You Are Considering Warts Removal.

By Byrann Franzen


Most people with warts also have questions such as, what causes warts, are they contagious and can they be prevented? Within the body of this article I will answer those questions, along with providing you with safe effective methods to remove your warts.

Whatever reason you may have for wanting to get rid of those ugly warts, this article would discuss about the methods and treatment available to remove the warts in a more controlled environment under the care of a professional, that is to say the dermatologist. Warts can be removed by a dermatologist or doctor at your local clinic. As the removal can be painful and cause some discomfort, the dermatologist would normally apply anesthetic on the warts and its surrounding skin to alleviate the pain. Depending on the type of warts, age of patient and other factors, your dermatologist may tailor the removal method for you accordingly. Another point to note is whether your insurance policy does cover such treatment procedures.

I have to caution you early that if you are getting rid of those warts purely for cosmetic reasons, that is to say to enhance your looks and physical appearance, the medical expenses may not be claimable. Please check with your insurance company and the dermatologist.

Broadly, there are 5 removal methods in the market, and 4 are done at the dermatologist. The last type is self-administered.

That is a major reason why you should never pick at your warts, then touch another part of your body. If you have a wart on your face, be very careful not to Nick the wart with your razor when shaving, because the razor might spread the wart to other parts of your body.

They also will cost you less money than either a doctor or a wart removal kit and can offer you an easy painless approach to getting rid of warts.

It's also important that you keep your skin free of cuts, and healthy. You should never share towels or bathmat's in public locations such as gym, and when showering in public locker rooms always wear rubber-soled flip-flops or sandals.

Freezing Off the Warts Forceps or metallic tweezers are used to hold and secure the warts. Liquid nitrogen is then applied to the handling tool to freeze off the warts. This wart removal method is also known as cryotherapy.

Laser Surgery Perhaps the most expensive method of all, laser surgery is also reputed to be the most thorough way to remove the warts.

Finally, the last common removal method which can be carried out at home is by using over-the-counter medications. Visit the pharmacy and purchase plasters, solution or gel containing tretinoin, salicylic acid or other medications containing skin-exfoliating agents.

The most common, and highly effective method of home removal involves the use of nonprescription over-the-counter medications that contain the substance, salicylic acid. Salicylic acid is the active ingredient in the treatment product known as, compound W.

One last somewhat unconventional home remedy for warts that has gained some attention is the use of duct tape. Covering the wart with duct tape warms the area, softens the skin around the wart and deprives it of oxygen.

One natural, but effective method of removal can be accomplished with an item you probably already have in your house, duct tape. Waterproof adhesive tape, or duct tape works equally well with this method.
