What you need to know about Warts!

Fast Wart Removal

Most warts will disappear quite naturally and painlessly. But there’s no way of really knowing how long that will take – up to two years in some cases – and the whole time you have warts, you run the risk of passing them onto someone else. Why wait when you can remove warts fast? There are many different ways to remove warts, depending on the type. Some of the most common treatments involve freezing and duct tape, but if you want to try something more refined, there are creams and ointments available, and surgical procedures such as curettage and electrocautery (literally scooping the wart out and sealing the wound – performed under local anesthetic, naturally!), cryotherapy, and laser removal.

Home Remedies for Warts

Natural wart treatments have also gained traction in recent years. These typically involve using apple cider vinegar, essential oils, nail polish, and even toothpaste amongst other organic treatments. These natural wart remedies tend to rely on an acidic agent in the product being applied, so it’s important to limit the application of home wart remedies to specific wart types, particularly genital warts as this region of the body is very sensitive. But since it is a strain of the HPV virus causing warts, one understated natural remedy for combatting the condition is a healthy diet. Viruses are attacked by our immune system, and strengthening this system is a great way to treat the external problem – warts – and the HPV virus circulating in the body. Vitamins B and C are the most powerful vitamins for this cause, and a focussed diet including leafy green vegetables and seaweed, as well as broccoli, carrots, and citrus fruits, will make the immune system’s task a lot simpler

Warts on Dogs

Humans aren’t the only species who can get the HPV virus, animals can get it too. Although not transmissible from animals to humans, HPV warts will often appear virtually overnight with animals. Dogs are particularly vulnerable to HPV, due to their rough and tumble nature, and tendency to get close to other dogs, making transmission a lot more common. Unfortunately for dogs, warts will often appear around their noses and mouths, and can easily get torn off through activity, causing pain and bleeding for the canine, and potentially other infections. Removing warts on dogs is similar to humans, using methods such as cryotherapy, electrocautery, and excision.
