Warts are a type of infection caused by viruses in the human papilloma virus (HPV) family. There are more than one hundred types of HPV. Warts can grow on all parts of your body. They can grow on your skin, on the inside of your mouth, on your genitals and on your rectal area. Common types tend to cause warts on the skin, while other types tend to cause warts on genital and rectal area.
Some people are more naturally resistant to the HPV viruses and don't seem to get warts as easily as other people. Wart on the skin may be passed to another person when that person touches the warts. It is also possible to get warts from using towels or other objects that were used by a person who has warts. Thus, it is important to keep good hygiene.
Warts on the genitals are very contagious and can be passed to another person during oral, vaginal or anal sex. Thus, it is important not to have unprotected sex if you or your partner has warts on the genital area. In women, warts can grow on the cervix but she may not even know she has them. She may pass the infection to her sexual partner without knowing it.
Often warts disappear on their own, although it may take many months or even years for the warts to go away. But some warts won't go away on their own. Common warts are often bothersome. They can bleed and cause pain when they're bumped. They can also be embarrassing, for example, if they grow on your face. Treatment may decrease the chance that the warts will be spread to other areas of your body or to other people.
First of all, it's important to know that warts on the skin and warts on the genitals are removed in different ways. Don't try any home remedies or over-the-counter drugs to remove warts on genital area. You could hurt your genital area by putting certain chemicals on it. You shouldn't treat warts on your face without talking to your doctor first. The following are some ways to remove common warts from the skin.
You can treat warts on places such as hands, feet or knees by putting salicylic acid on the warts. To get good results, you must apply the acid every day for many weeks. After you take a bath or shower, pat your skin dry lightly with a towel. Then put salicylic acid on warts. The acid sinks in deeper and works better when it is applied to damp skin. Before you take a shower or a bath the next day, use an emery board or pumice stone to file away the dead surface of the warts.
Your doctor may use cantharidin on your warts. With this treatment, the doctor paints the chemical onto warts. Most people don't feel any pain when the chemical is applied to warts. You'll experience some pain and blistering of the wart in about three to eight hours. After treatment with cantharidin, a bandage is put over the wart.
The bandage often can be removed after twenty four hours. When mixtures of cantharidin and other chemicals are used, the bandage is removed after two hours. When you see your doctor again, he or she will remove the dead skin of the wart. If the wart isn't gone after one treatment, your doctor may suggest another treatment.
Your doctor may use liquid nitrogen to freeze warts. This treatment is called cryotherapy. Applying liquid nitrogen to the wart causes a little discomfort. To completely remove a wart, liquid nitrogen treatments may be needed every one to three weeks for a total of four times. If no improvement is noted, your doctor may recommend another type of treatment.
Your doctor can also remove warts on the skin by burning the wart, cutting out the wart or removing the wart with a laser. These treatments are effective, but they may leave a scar. They are normally reserved for warts that have not cleared up with other treatments. Thus, a variety of therapies have been studied. But most of these therapies are either expensive, painful, or labor intensive.
