What kills warts?
Warts are ugly, pesky and contagious. They make you cringe every time you catch sight of them. Worse still, they can easily spread to other parts of your body and even to other people when left untreated for too long. [Here, we will explore the various ways in which warts can be killed off like they never existed.]
Putting up a Good Fight Against Warts
In terms of treatment, there are a variety of options available for getting rid pf warts [but, not all treatments work as advertised]. While some remedies may prove effective in killing off warts within days or weeks, others may only take longer or simply fail to produce results altogether.
Natural Remedies: Are They Worth It?
Natural remedies such as garlic, tea tree oil and apple cider vinegar have been touted as excellent cures against warts [and let’s face it; who doesn’t want an excuse to rub garlic on their skin?]. Though these natural remedies are cheap and widely available at any health store near you, these types of remedies might take a longer time than expected before producing desirable results.
However, just because something is natural does not always mean that it’s entirely safe. Although rare cases exist wherein patients experienced allergic reactions or unintended side effects using natural products from wart removals (for example), acute dermatitis/allergic reaction has been reported following application crude garlic topically[1].
To reduce the risk involved with using certain home remedies it is often advised that medical assistance should be sought out if needed[,especially if outbreaks persist over an extended period].
Over-the-Counter Treatments: Buyer Beware!
Over-the-counter (OTC) treatments involving freeze sprays and acid solutions work by attacking the virus deep within wart lesions^[2][3][4]. However , often OTC treatments are not effective in completely removing warts because they only remove the top layer of skin. In fact, you may find that after weeks of excessive usage and money spent these products don’t seem to work at all [and would have been better off trying one of the home remedies].
Prescription Remedies: The Medical Go-To
Prescription medicines for treating warts/gential warts are available by visiting a general practitioner or professional dermatologist. These often can include various solutions comprised with formaldehyde (volatile anti-inflammatory agents which kills germs) as well as “cimetidine,(which is)most commonly used for stomach ulcers but has recently taken on an interesting new off-label use – wart treatment” [5]. However, if prescriptions and over the counter treatments traditionally fail it may be time to level up.
Professional Assistance: When All Else Fails
Facing Wart resistant or irritated millennial type patients^10? Pass them along to cryotherapy scheduling! Cryotherapy involves freezing off the wart by subjecting it to extremely low temperatures using Liquid Nitrogen[6][7] — thus killing it within days. This medical procedure has proven successful and reliable due partly to its ability to penetrate multiple layers deep into stubborn keratinized formations where virus infected cells multiply^[8][9].
However, cryo-treatments do require some co-pay expense and longer healing times than typical over-the-counter varieties.
Natural Disasters Vs Human Influence: Understanding Causes Of Virus
The humanpapilloma virus (HPV), which causes genital warts/quite a few other types of verrucas {referenced “specifically” instead} two groups depending on their natural susceptibility:
- those prone toward immunity deficiencies
- Those who chance contact with underprivileged hygiene from walkways/pools/gyms]/men’s shower/areas worn shoes/towels rub[bed]
Therefore, maintaining good hygiene standards, avoiding risky sexual behaviors HPV vaccines and regular check-ups with a primary care provider should help reduce the risk of contracting warts [And while we understand the fun in wordplay; you’d be better off safe than sorry].
