Being a skin disease, warts, as a rule, can occur everywhere on the skin. They are outgrowths of the mucous membrane or skin, which are formed in the form of a keratinized or soft node.
Depending on the place and method of their occurrence, there are several varieties of warts - ordinary, genital, genital, senile and youthful - however, they all do not pose a health hazard.
The causative agent of warts is the papilloma virus, which weakens the human immune system.
There are many popular methods of treating these formations, such as rubbing fresh garlic, sour apple juice, horseradish mixed with coarse salt. A wart remedy such as a compress from dissolved wood ash also helps.
Avicenna believed that the best remedy for warts is the juice flowing from the vine, helping to quickly get rid of any kind of this skin disease.
It is generally accepted that one of the causes of their occurrence is a psychosomatic illness, so sometimes an unconventional wart remedy such as a “conspiracy” is used to get rid of them, although a specialist doctor should still be involved in the treatment.
Medicine believes that warts are viral in nature, so they can be contagious. Ways of infection become close contacts with an already sick person, bathing in dirty reservoirs, and the general use of household items - towels and other personal hygiene items. For prevention, it’s good to use antibacterial soap.
Ordinary warts can grow to the size of lentils, located on the hands, fingers and soles of the feet. In color, they do not differ from the color of the skin and do not cause pain. Such warts are treated with ointments such as Salicylic, Riodoxol, Tebrofen, etc. Castor oil lotions also help.
The youthful variety of warts is distributed, as a rule, on the extremities of people with a fairly young age, and has the appearance of small flat pigment nodes. For their treatment, today the most common ointment from warts "Oxoline" is considered to be available at any pharmacy. You can also use a mixture of ether with podophylline, which needs to lubricate the affected areas.
Genital warts usually grow in the ears, face, nostrils, and genitals. In size, they can be quite impressive and have the ability to grow, capturing the entire inflamed area. This is especially true for the surface of the skin on the genitals, when the perineum can also be infected. For the treatment of such formations, as well as senile, which are mainly in elderly people, it is best to use electrolysis, cauterization, as well as drugs from warts such as Stefalin, Solcoderm, salicylic and lactic acid solutions.
Such types of wart removal as cauterization with feresol or electric current, laser therapy and cryotherapy are also quite effective, such as exposure to low temperature. If the affected area is large and continues to increase, then doctors recommend the use of the drug "Intron A", which is a recombinant interferon. Surgical removal or excision of warts also helps.
Sometimes it is not necessary to use some kind of remedy for warts, since they disappear on their own, however, if in a short time their number increases or the inflammatory process begins, then you need to urgently consult a skin doctor, since there may be a chance of any serious diseases.
