A flat wart (treatment will be presented later) is a benign formation, which manifests itself in the form of small nodules up to 5 millimeters in size, slightly rising above the surface of the skin. It is worth noting that such a disease occurs on the legs, back of the hands and face. The diagnosis of this deviation is based on a routine visual examination, and is confirmed by histological examination.
Flat wart: home treatment
There are quite a few cases where flat benign masses disappear spontaneously. However, most people, because of the desire to quickly get rid of this cosmetic defect, resort to folk methods. Often, such methods include the use of medicinal plants, as well as decoctions, ointments and infusions from them. The most popular recipes are the following:
- Before getting rid of flat warts, it is necessary to take the seeds of blue cornflower, crush them well, and then apply to the skin formation and cover with a sticky adhesive. The procedure should be carried out every day until the nodules disappear.
- A flat wart, the treatment of which is based on traditional medicine, disappears after a few days, if it is regularly lubricated with gruel from crushed rowan fruits, and closed with cellophane on top and secured with a bandage.
