How to care for warts after freezing?

So, you’ve finally made the bold decision to get rid of those pesky warts by freezing them off like a boss. Good news is, the deed is done! However, there’s still work to do if you want your skin to heal properly and avoid any potential complications.

Here are some handy tips on how to care for warts after freezing so you can get back to living a wart-free life!

Cleaned & Covered

Step 1: First things first – clean the treated area gently with soap and water. Don’t scrub it like it’s your ex’s nasty attitude though, that will only irritate your tender skin even more.

Step 2: Once cleaned dry it very carefully by patting dry with a soft towel or anything else absorbent but not too rough enough as not use toilet paper (or sandpaper) .

Step 3: Cover that baby up now! You’ll want something breathable between the wound and whatever lays beneath because open air could cause bacteria growing into wherever possible (yuck!). Use Band-Aids or gauze pads, preferably non-stick ones which won’t harm your poor little wart site(s).

Keep It Humid

Freezing usually causes blistering or scabbing in desperate need of moisture; don’t feel guilty about keeping everything hydrated. Try covering the blasted out-of-commission space with petroleum jelly without suffocating yourself completely – repeated applications every three hours would be optimal.

Take Medications as Directed

Your healthcare provider may have prescribed medication for further treatment; take these medications exactly as instructed until finishing even if they taste bad because they might just highly effective at obliterating your nasties beyond recognition due their magical properties.

Avoid Sopping Wet Environments

Avoid swimming pools where unnecessarily remaining submerged within germ-filled waters can put a hindrance on recovery and possibly even cause further infection.

When showering or bathing, try keeping things relatively dry by using a breathable barrier around the wart – this could be anything from plastic wrap (make sure to avoid wrapping too tightly) to adhesive bandages of your choice. Also, keep it short and sweet because no one likes being teased with warm splashes!

Don’t Be Gross

Resist the urge to pick over scabs coming off naturally-which is highly discouraged in polite society-and cover them instead when they fall out eventually; not only are you risking introducing bacterial germs into yet another vulnerable spot on epidermis but frankly it makes everyone else uncomfortable hearing about how you thought somebody would love picking dead skin flakes off yourself like indeed as Lady Macbeth’s “Out Damned Spot!” repetition ad nauseum..

Keep Watch for Anything Unusual

Pay careful attention after any medical procedure and if anything seems not quite right seek advice without hesitation don’t let weirdness just snowball until something really bad occurs with all kinds of regret.

Notify your doctor when observing:

  • Increased Pain
  • Ongoing inflammation/swelling accompanied by redness surrounding targeted area
  • Fever and/or Chills
  • Bleeding which persists beyond what’s considered normal levels(can’t snort those dried up scabs any longer unfortunately!)

Above cases warrant immediate medical care due high risk complications such as serious infections spreading throughout the body blahblahblah…just trust me that regular ole soap can only cure so much!
