Warts are one of the most widespread skin diseases. According to statistical data, practically 75 % of people have ever suffered from warts.
Warts are pale (under skin color) good-quality new growths with a rough surface of a virus origin. Various types of facial papilloma viruses are the main activator of the given disease.
Warts appear on stops of legs, elbows, fingers more often. As a rule, they disappear after a while (from 3 months till 2-3 years).
Warts are subdivided into some most widespread types:
Usual warts (these are dense 3-7 mm of formations with a rough surface. More often, usual warts infect fingers of hands, the face)
Plantar warts (these are the warts, which are localized on legs’ stops. They very much remind a callous and arise owing to carrying close, inconvenient footwear, the footwear, not giving opportunity a leg “to breathe”).
Flat warts (these are very fine round slug with a smooth surface, which often occur on the face of young men)
Preventive maintenance of warts
It is necessary to remember that the virus of warts prospers in the damp environment. For this reason it is not recommended to go barefoot in such public places as pools, saunas, baths, to use another’s towels, to carry close footwear from a leather substitute (it is recommended to have at least 2 pairs footwear on change that the footwear had time to dry out well!). Occurrence of warts is also promoted by cuts; fine cracks on hands, for this reason always carefully process the damaged sites of the skin.
Treatment
Along with every possible national means (a burning out vinegar, an extract of a tea tree, celandine), such are available also ways as:
- Laser coagulation;
- Electro coagulation;
- Applications by liquid nitrogen.
We recommend nevertheless trying to treat warts in the usual national ways of treatment and only in extreme measures to resort to more serious methods as after surgical measures there are scars, which (more often) can not be treated at all. Besides, you should remember, that any method of removal of warts does not guarantee that they will not appear again.
