Wart Treatments FAQ in Houma, LA

Are common warts caused by STD?

Warts are tiny skin infections caused by viruses of the human papillomavirus (HPV) family. Although kids get warts most often, teens and adults can get them too. Sometimes warts are sexually transmitted and appear in the genital area. But most warts affect the fingers, hands, and feet.

What is the best medicine for warts removal?

For common warts, look for a 17 percent salicylic acid solution. These products (Compound W, Dr. Scholl’s Clear Away Wart Remover, others) are usually used daily, often for a few weeks. For best results, soak your wart in warm water for a few minutes before applying the product.

How easily do warts spread?

Warts can spread from one part of your body to another, similarly to person-to-person spread. If you pick at, touch, or scratch a wart on one part of your body, then do the same to another body part, the warts can spread to the second body part.

What can I put on a wart overnight?

Mix two parts apple cider vinegar in one-part water. Soak a cotton ball in the vinegar-water solution. Apply the cotton ball directly on the wart. Cover with tape or a bandage, keeping the cotton ball on the wart overnight (or for longer if possible).

Does apple cider vinegar stop warts?

Vinegar burns and gradually destroys the infected skin, making the wart fall off eventually, like the way salicylic acid works. The irritation caused by the acid boosts the immune system’s ability to combat the virus responsible for the wart.

How do warts go away naturally?

Treat the wart. When someone has a healthy immune system, a wart will often go away on its own. This can take a long time, though. In the meantime, the virus that causes warts can spread to other parts of the body, which may lead to more warts. Treatment can help a wart clear more quickly.

Are there non STD warts?

Non-genital warts (verrucas) are an extremely common, benign, and usually a self-limited skin disease. Infection of epidermal cells with the human papillomavirus (HPV) results in cell proliferation and a thickened, warty papule on the skin.

What vitamin helps with warts?

There have been several studies which have shown that a simple supplement of zinc can improve and clear warts. Zinc supplements (usually tablets) can be bought over the counter at most pharmacies.

What is the lifespan of a wart?

Most often, warts are harmless growths that go away on their own within 2 years. Periungual or plantar warts are harder to cure than warts in other places. Warts can come back after treatment, even if they appear to go away.

Is a wart on the hand HPV?

A: All warts (or “verrucae”) are caused by Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). On the hands, they’re referred to as common warts; on the bottom of the feet they’re called plantar warts; around the fingernails they’re called periungual warts; on the genitals or around the anal area they’re called genital warts.

Do warts mean you have a weak immune system?

In many cases, your immune system quickly fights off the virus long before outward signs, such as warts develop. If, however, your immune system is slow to recognize or respond to the HPV strain, you’re more likely to develop warts.

What kills the virus that causes warts?

Other medications: These include bleomycin, which is injected into a wart to kill a virus, and imiquimod (Aldara and Zyclara), an immunotherapy drug that stimulates your own immune system to fight off the wart virus. It comes in the form of a prescription cream.

What is the strongest treatment for warts?

Freezing (cryotherapy). Freezing therapy done at a doctor’s office involves applying liquid nitrogen to your wart.

What’s the black stuff in a wart?
