A Guide to Different Methods of Wart Removal

Before talking about "wart removal", lets know what are Warts. Warts are formed because of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). These are small developments on skin that look like a shape of cauliflower.

Warts are generally formed on face, hands, feet or even genitals. Some of the wart-varieties are really dangerous because they include constituents of cancer causing virus. Thus Wart removal becomes even more important.

Basically, there are five different methods of wart removal that are commonly done. Four of these are carried out by a specialist in a clinic or hospital and one is self-applied.

The first method is excision or cutting the warts off with a scissor or a scalpel. This is the most conventional of all the methods. As its name says, it’s done by cutting off the warts at the base. Of all the different methods, this is the most preferred in the removal of large warts.

The next method is called cauterization or electro - surgery of warts. This is done by burning the warts off using electricity.

Another method is called cryotheraphy. So far, this is the coolest of all different methods of wart removal. It means freezing the warts so that it will fall off. It is done by using a scalpel or forceps to hold the wart. The holding equipment is then applied with liquid nitrogen to freeze off the warts.

The most expensive and the most thorough of all the different methods of wart removal is laser surgery. It uses laser technology to remove warts. It is also the one that leaves the least scarring.

These first four different methods of wart removal are used with anesthesia because it helps provide relief from the intense pain that can be experienced during the removal process especially if the patient has multiple or severe cases of wart infection.

The last common method is through the use of over the counter medicines. Plasters, gels or solutions containing glycolic acid, tretinoin, salicylic acid and other skin exfoliating agents are effective against warts. Cantharidin or kertolytic wart paint can also be applied to the infected area. It separates the wart from the inner skin layer by forming a blister under the wart. This makes for easy cutting of the wart.

Aside from the five, there are still other different methods of wart removal that are said to be effective. Although not as common, many people still use these ways because of a variety of other reasons like it’s less painful or it’s more affordable. There is immunotheraphy. This is done by injecting the body with interferons and antibiotics to strengthen the immune system and help it reject warts. Another alternative are herbal medicines like aloe vera and garlic.

It’s also good to note that not all warts are immediately removed. Some just disappear by themselves and some are so inconspicuous that they are better left alone. So these different methods of wart removal are just used if the warts have become very excessive. In the end, it always pays to be clean and to be healthy as possible because why endure the different methods of wart removal if you can avoid them in the first place.
