A Look at Various Wart Treatments
After you've been to the doctor and been diagnosed with some
type of human pappilloma virus (HPV) infection that has caused
an outbreak of warts somewhere on your body, you'll eventually
get around to discussing the possible treatments.
From simple creams and lotions designed to shrink or remove the
food supply from warts and cause them to "die," to other, more
sophisticated chemical solutions designed to burn them off,
there are a variety of treatments available to the HPV sufferer
today. It all depends on the location and severity of the
outbreak.
Outside the body, on the hands or the feet is the simplest form
of warts to treat and, usually creams and lotions applied
throughout the day are enough to make them go away. If they
persist through the simpler wart treatments, there are more
powerful chemicals available that starve the wart of blood
supply, oxygen or other vital support, which will ultimately
cause it to die. In addition, there are medicines that trick the
body's immune system into attacking the wart itself and
hopefully, succeed in killing it.
If all else fails, and the location or severity of the outbreak
warrants it, there is cauterization of the warts, freezing them
and ultimately removing them surgically.
At home, treatments usually begin with salicylic acid, which is
readily available over the counter at your local pharmacy.
This
treatment is very effective, however, it can take several months
to completely remove the offending warts, causing many to seek
alternative wart treatment. Ultimately, home treatment, which
can be as successful as any other form of wart treatment, is
easier, less costly and less painful than many of the other
choices.
For those who do not like the thought of putting anything with
the word "acid" on or in their bodies, there is the tape
occlusion method. In this case, you merely put a piece of tape
over the wart and keep it there, starving the wart of oxygen and
light that it needs to live and grow. This is a slow but usually
effective method and many people who have tried it have reported
successful results.
Finally, there is a brand of home freezing for wart removal that
should be investigated thoroughly before trying. Essentially,
the user takes two chemicals and sprays them together, holding
the mixture, which reaches a very low temperature briefly, on
the wart, freezing and killing it quickly. This method is not
advised for children.
