| What causes warts in the body? |
Warts are innocuous, round, pale growths that damage the top layers of your skin. Warts are created by a virus that can be passed from person to person. They will spread to various parts of the body. They are classified based on when they would appear on the body. Warts will show on your hands, feet, elbows, and face. Throughout this post, I hope to educate you about the various forms of warts so that you will know what to look for if you suspect you have one.
Flat warts with flat tops can surface on the wrists, arms, thighs, and face. Plantar warts are located on the bottom of the foot and are flattened by body weight. Genital warts are present on the penis and can be handled by the doctor as soon as possible. The most important thing a woman should know is that genital warts could increase her risk of developing cervical cancer.
Warts, with the exception of genital warts, do not necessitate medical attention unless they are causing you discomfort. Plantar warts, for example, can make walking difficult. When attempting to cure the warts on your own, it might be useful to realize that you can use an over-the-counter wart remover containing salicylic acid. Be certain that you do not add any wart removers to the healthy skin surrounding the warts.
Most importantly, wash your hands before and after touching the warts to keep the warts from spreading to other parts of the body. When seeing a doctor, you should be as knowledgeable about the warts as possible. Warts should be removed by a doctor using liquid nitrogen, corrosive chemicals, or even surgery. Your doctor might prescribe podophyllin to treat genital warts.
Since the virus remains in your body forever, all warts can recur. Be cautious and use a condom during physical intercourse to avoid the spread of genital warts. You should also try adding generous quantities of vitamin E oil to the infected region (although some people are sensitive to it and should not put it on their skin). You might even consider using garlic-parsley pills to get rid of the warts.
While warts may be unsightly, they should not be ignored if they are causing you discomfort. Remember the shame can be removed, but discomfort cannot until it is treated. I urge women who have genital warts to get treatment as soon as possible to avoid humiliation. These are not ordinary warts; if left untreated, they can be very dangerous. Cervical cancer should not be taken lightly. These warts can increase a woman's chance of developing cervical cancer, so please get them treated as soon as possible. Your gynecologist has seen a lot more in his career, believe me.
