Frequently Asked Quesitons: Warts
What causes warts?
Warts are a result of a viral infection by the human papilloma virus (HPV). They are commonly caused by direct contact with surface or skin that has the virus on it. The chances of getting warts from contact are a lot higher if you have a small cut or break in the skin. Cut or break does not need to be big or deep. In fact it can be microscopic and invisible to you.
Are warts just dead skin?
You may have heard that warts are area buildup of skin cells. You may have even heard that the buildup is made of dead skin cells. A wart is indeed excess buildup of your skin cells, but they're not dead skin cells. Many tiny little blood vessels exist in it and provide blood circulation through it. Which is why the bleeding always seem like it won't stop when you cut it.
Can I spread warts on my hands to places like the genitals?
Although all warts are cause by the HPV, there are many different types of HPV. Each type prefers very specific conditions found only in specific parts of your body. While not impossible, it is very rare that the virus infecting your finger will take a liking to your genitals and spread there. Therefore your chances Andre very low that you will transfer warts from your hands to your genitals or the area surrounding it.
How do you get rid of them naturally?
While there are many great commercial products for treating warts, you also have a selection of natural remedies to choose from if that is what you want. Natural wart remedies include:
• Apple cider vinegar
• Garlic
• Banana peels
• Dandelions
I won't go into details about using them here, but I'll be adding detailed Information about their usage later on.
Is there a painless way to get rid of them?
Many treatment options for warts can cause pain or discomfort. While there is pain involved, it is usually of a tolerable level for most adults. Children and those with low tolerance may wish to seek a treatment that is painless.
Once such treatment is duct tape. There is no need to cut or burn anything, thus reducing the amount of pain involved with using it. Users may experience slight discomfort from leaving the tape on for a prolonged period of time.
