Not everyone can boast a perfect appearance. Very often you can meet people who are slim, beautiful, fit, but they have something that spoils all this beauty. Such disadvantages may vary. Feel free to refer to them and warts.
A person who has never had them will not be able to understand how big a problem they are. The fact is that warts on the hands, the treatment of which in this article will be considered, are very difficult to remove. In addition, after removal, they can easily appear again.
What are warts
Warts are nothing more than benign formations that appear on the surface of the skin. Why do they appear? The cause can be various viruses (papillomaviruses), of which more than fifty are currently known.
These viruses, developing in the human body, can provoke the growth of the upper layers of the skin.
Most often, warts on the hands, the treatment of which can take a long time, appear in the elderly, as well as in adolescents. By themselves, they look like a kind of growths on the skin, but they have nothing to do with inflammation. They look more like a very dense tumor. As a rule, they have the same color as the skin or may be slightly lighter than it. What size can they be? Warts are usually no less than two and no more than twelve millimeters.
Many fear people with warts for the reason that they consider them unscrupulous, and also think that they are contagious. In fact, cleanliness here is absolutely (or in any case almost) nothing to do with, and there is still the opportunity to become infected through household contact. The virus can be transmitted not only through direct contact, but even through household appliances. Risk factors here include all kinds of wounds, scratches and other injuries that may be on the skin of a person.
In general, it is worth noting that the viruses that become the causes of warts begin to express themselves only three months after a person becomes infected. Good immunity can help get rid of almost any of them.
Warts on the hands: treatment
It often happens that a person has warts, and then immediately disappear. The thing is that he simply restored immunity, which was mentioned above. This happens quite often.
Based on the foregoing, it can be concluded that to eliminate these unpleasant formations, it is enough to simply strengthen the immune system. Eat more fruits, vegetables, drink vitamin and mineral complexes, which your doctor advised. In many, but not all cases, this will help.
Very often, doctors have to observe patients who for many years cannot remove their warts on their hands. Treatment, however it may be, is ineffective for them. The whole catch is that even if you remove the wart surgically, then after a few days it will appear again in about the same place. Many cut, file, or burn warts right at home. None of the above can be done, since all this can lead to very serious problems.
The treatment of warts is best done under the supervision of an experienced doctor who will always find something to advise. Yes, indeed it can sometimes be very difficult to remove the warts.
