Study says that actually there no cures for warts, but there are treatments available to eradicate or if not decrease its number in the body.
So get your pens ready and list down the various treatment modalities in removing warts.
The most common prescribed medication for warts is salicylic acid.
It is usually available in different forms such as drops, gels, pads, and plasters.
They are used in the process of keratolysis or the loosening or shredding of thick layer of dead skin.
Since wart and the epidermis where it is usually located are composed of material called keratin, salicylic acid is the best medication to help remove this by dissolving the keratin through the process of keratolysis.
Moreover, it can also be used at home as a remedy for warts.
The area with wart should be soaked in warm water for 5-10 minutes before this medication is applied.
Another treatment modality is the used of a duct tape to remove the warts.
This method requires a lot of effort and patience.
The duct tape should be place above the wart and should be left there for six day then removed.
The wart is then soaked in warm water for five minutes then an emery board is needed to rub off the warts.
Cryotherapy is the freezing warts.
A solution such as liquid nitrogen is used in the process.
Blisters formed in the site and eventually will shred off after a week.
Surgery is another method but usually failed, warts could even return.
It has also a high risk of scarring.
Other treatment methods are laser therapy, electrocautery, and photodynamic therapy which uses a chemical that when absorbed by light could eventually destroy wart cells.
Chemical treatments or prescribed medications are available such as formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, and podophyllin.
Science developed these modalities to ease the discomforts brought about by warts to humans.
