Best Wart Removal Treatment Around

Warts are noncancerous (benign) rough bumps that form on the skin. They develop when the human papillomavirus enters a cut or break in the skin and causes an infection. Warts are very contagious. The virus can spread from person to person or from different parts of the body through:

• Direct contact with a wart.
• Touching something contaminated with the virus, such as towels, doorknobs and shower floors.
• Sexual intercourse (genital warts).
• Nail-biting and cuticle picking.
• Shaving.

Warts can vary slightly in appearance and may look like rough raised bumps on the skin, ranging in colour from the same as your skin, grey, brown or black.

There are several different treatment options available,

• Over the counter removal kits
• Cryotherapy
• Laser treatment
• Immunotherapy
• Topical medicine

Unfortunately, most over-the-counter wart removal kits do not work very well and are messy and cost more than a visit to the doctor. Removing your warts on your own may sound like a good idea; however, cutting off warts on your own can result in excess bleeding, scaring or deep-seated infection, not to mention it is painful.

Warts, for the most part, are harmless; nonetheless, if left untreated, warts can lead to some complications,

1. Cancer - certain HPV strains are linked to cancer, such as cervical and anal cancer and cancer of the throat.
2. Disfigurement - Some people with weaker immune systems may develop clusters of unappealing warts on their hands, feet or faces.
3. Infections - picking or cutting a wart creates breaks in the skin, which may lead to infection.
4. Pain - most warts do not cause pain; however, some warts on the feet may grow inward, causing pain when walking.

Having your warts treated and removed by a trained medical professional will ensure a painless procedure, minimal scarring and the best results.
