Top Wart Treatment Options Explained

1. Surgery

I say this for one reason only. The most important reason. Internal genital warts can kill women. 2 types of the HPV (human papilloma virus) which cause genital warts are responsible for 70% of cervical cancer cases. The only way to know if you have internal genital warts is via a pap-smear, and the only GUARANTEED treatment is invasive surgery. A laparoscopy doesn't hurt, requires a general anesthetic, and simply requires a few days of being gentle with yourself. You go home the same day. Don't fiddle around with internal genital warts if you are a woman. They change the nature of cells in the transformation zone of the cervix and go three phases before they are diagnosed as cancerous. You probably have time if your pap smear comes back abnormal and you have been regular in getting them. Don't fiddle around with this condition. Get it surgically treated. They actually laser out a section of your cervix. You can still have children in the majority of cases - confirm that with your doctor if you are concerned. Then go every 6 months for checkups. I do. It should be fine.
This is included at no.2 as a number of these treatments really do give you bang for your buck, are not expensive, and remove warts once and for all. (See bottom of article to get an explanation of what External Warts are). There are a number of natural treatments for EXTERNAL warts that work really well. Most offer a full refund and a 30-60 day money back guarantee. A table of the comparative list of wart treatment products can be found via the link at the bottom of this article.
3. Cryosurgery
This involves freezing warts with extreme cold. No general anesthetic required. You can't do this at home, you need to see a doctor. This method of treatment is often highly effective, but warts can regrow. It also results in pain and blistering. The blisters usually last less than 8 days, and with careful care, scarring can be minimized.

As in the previous point, you can't do this at home, you need to see a doctor. This method of treatment is often highly effective, but warts can re-grow. Electrocautery results in pain and blistering. The blisters usually last less than 8 days, and with careful care, scarring can be minimized. You need to return to the doctor for bandage changes and epidermal checks to ensure lack of infection in severe cases.
5. Prescription Toxins
Image result for Prescription ToxinsThese are prescription medications the ingredients of which include toxins or poisons e.g. Phytotoxins. These may have harmful side effects. Do not try to make your own concoction. Make sure the medication is FDA approved, and use only as directed. Warts may grow back.
6. Prescription Acids
Image result for Prescription AcidsThese options include the use of Keratolytic therapy, Salicylic Acid, and others. The acid burns the epidermis and the wart will fall off. It is not usually painful, but does blister in many cases and result in scarring occasionally. This treatment option must be prescribed by a medical professional, and make sure it is FDA approved. Follow instructions carefully.

7. Duct Tape
The use of duct tape to treat warts has the name of Occlusive Therapy. The study that is of interest include patients requiring wart removal., half of which had cryosurgery (liquid nitrogen) treatment, and half of whom applied duct tape to each wart., The tape was to be left in place for 6 days, then the warts was to be soaked in water and gently pumiced. The tape was then applied the following day for another 6 days, and this pattern was continued for 2 months - or until the wart disappeared. This treatment has received a lot of press attention, and apparently, it does work. It is quite intensive and requires delicate abrasion. Read more methods of warts removal in this other article.

Wartstick


Warts can be painful, irritating and mortifying. Can you easily be free of them? Warts are usually tiny, rough, and bump-like growths that are akin in color to the rest of the skin (though some are smooth and flat). Warts are often caused by some strains of the HumanPapilloma virus (HPV) which infect the upper layer of the skin. They are known to penetrate the body through an area of broken skin. The top layer of skin then grows rapidly, forming a wart.
