For instance, vaginal warts and penile warts can easily get irritated when taking a bath, urinating, having sex and other actions. Anal warts on the other hand will constantly rub against the buttocks and cause anus itch.
Chances are low that genital warts will develop and fail to itch. In such times, they are easily transmitted and will develop into blisters or sores. In fact, itching is a main symptom of the warts. You find that they may develop and cause no symptoms other than some itchy, soft, tender and burning spots around the genital region.
Do plantar warts itch; warts that itch sometimes
Plantar warts are sometimes known as verruca. They prefer the heel and the ball of the foot. Due to constant rubbing against footwear or the ground, a wart on that part of the foot may itch sometimes. Pressure exerted on the foot causes the warts to develop inside rather than on the sole. When treated, they leave a small hole on the spot where they previously existed. [RELATED] So do plantar warts itch? They absolutely do. In fact, they are also likely to be painful and can even interfere with your posture and gait. The most common cause of itching and bleeding warts on the foot is friction and constant pressure.

Topical creams can help reduce the itchiness caused by the warts. In fact, they will get rid of the warts entirely with time. The problem is that such creams cannot be used on infected or open warts. This can be caused by a sudden trauma, canker sores in the mouth or even skin ulcers. [RELATED] Home remedies are the best when it comes to easing and treating itching warts. For example, tea tree oil for warts will reduce inflammation and also aid in quick healing. Others such as aloe Vera and castor oil produce a soothing effect which can help with the burning and itchy sensations produced by itching and bleeding warts. You can also try disinfectants on the warts. You will find that when they itch, warts are bound to get injured or opened sometime in the near future. You can prevent any infection before it happens with disinfectants. Itching moles, warts, and even skin tags can be a source of embarrassment and discomfort.

You can smell the fragrance in the air once a bottle of essential oil is opened. This is the advantage that doTERRA oil producers and other related companies take advantage of. As it stands, there are in excess of a thousand different types of substances that can be used to come up with an essential oil.DoTERRA oil for skin tags removal

DoTERRA oil therapy for skin tag removal can be done in a variety of ways. First, you can choose to add the oil in your bathing water. Here, just add some drops into a warm water basin. The oil package will most likely come with guidelines on how many drops are to be added, depending on the type of oils used. [RELATED] You can also take advantage of the cold/hot compress methods.

Steps on how to use oregano oil for skin tags:
- The oil works best when used with a string, a skin tag treatment method known as ligation
- Hold the skin tag by the bumpy part and tie the stalk by the base
- Ensure that there are no loose ends left on the string. These could collect bacteria from your surroundings. The string will remain in position until the tag falls off
- Apply the oil to the growths, preferably with a piece of cotton ball
- An antibacterial cream or ointment will be needed. Oregano oil will get rid of the skin tag but will not keep bacteria away
How to use doTERRA oil for moles removal
It is likely that you are familiar with moles. There are certain types of skin growths that usually are raised, dark/tan and with regular edges. They rarely measure more than 6 mm in diameter.
Although they often occur naturally and don’t usually pose health risks, rapidly evolving ones have been known to signal cancer of the skin.
If considering mole removal or treatment with essential oils, doTERRA oil for mole removal is a good place to start. Here is how you can use the oil to get rid of the moles:
- Warm up some bath water and put some drops of the oil into it
- The water can be used on any part of the skin even where moles are not present
- Soak a towel in cold or warm water. Apply a few drops of the oil to the towel and then compress it on the moles
- The oil can also be used in a lotion or a moisturizer
Oregano oil for moles usage
It has been observed that oregano oil is very powerful in mole removal usage. The problem is that the oil can be irritating to the skin when used in its purest forms. To avoid this, coconut or almond oil can be added. When using oregano with almond oil, combine them in ratio of 1:8. Ensure that the two have mixed appropriately before use. [RELATED] To use it, soak a cotton ball in the mixture and massage the mole with it. Ensure that all the parts of the mole have been covered with the solution. It works best when left to air-dry. After that, rinse the affected area. Repeat this process once on daily basis. By the end of the first week, you will observe the mole turning black, an indication that it is dying off. Should the skin on or around the mole get irritated, quit further application. A cleanser ointment can effectively be used to get rid of the oil from the irritated parts.DoTERRA oil for warts treatment
Warts can be quickly removed in clinics by having them burnt, surgically removed or even frozen. The problem is that they will keep coming back, perhaps more times than you may be willing to keep visiting a doctor.
Luckily, essential oils are relatively effective in removing skin growths like warts.
A DoTERRA oil for warts removal recipe, for example, can clear common warts in a matter of weeks. An effective recipe can include coconut, frankincense and oregano oils. Clove or almond oil can be added into the removal mixture to ensure that no irritations are caused on the skin.
Apply the mixture directly to the warts once in a day. In a period of about 2 weeks, the warts will have cleared.
It is not advisable to use such a recipe on vaginal warts, skin growths around the eyes or bumps on the penis. In fact, ensure that your doctor has been consulted when using essential oils for treatment of skin growths anywhere near the genitals or the face.
Oregano oils for warts removal
If you have been looking at some natural ways to get rid of skin growths and warts, it is likely that you have come across oregano oil for use as a wart remover. It is an essential oil with lots of additional benefits. For instance, some people use it against stomach ulcers and white spots on the tonsils. [RELATED] This removal oil is very powerful and will probably irritate your skin if used alone. To avoid this, use some coconut oil to make it more mild while still maintaining its effectiveness. In every 1 unit of oregano oil used, add 8 equivalent units of coconut oil. In regards to application, you can apply the oil directly to the affected areas. This can be done up to 4 times in a day. For even better results, cover the warts with a bandage. Like other essential oils, care should be taken when using them on sensitive body parts such as the genitals. In fact, don’t use them on the eyes or on genital warts without proper consultation. You can however try them on ringworm on the neck or scalp. If the warts do not show signs of dying off in 2 weeks, get help from a dermatologist. [post_title] => Doterra and Oregano Oils to remove Skin Tags, Warts and Moles.

The problem is that you will likely have to part with more than $100. Chances are high that scarring will also be left behind. Moving away from the issue of finances, skin growths such as warts or even skin tags will keep coming back even after you have had them removed. These factors combined, over the counter options provide a more strategic option.Do OTC wart, skin tags and moles removal products work?
Top reviewed over the counter wart removal kits and products produce effective results even for skin tags and moles as long as they are used correctly.
It is natural to be skeptical when it comes to over the counter products. Luckily, the basis on which such top reviewed products work is largely understood. You will not have to worry about hidden ingredients or wasting your money on garbage products.
Which are the best over the counter removal medications?
Creams are the most popularly used over the counter wart removal medications. The secret behind their effectiveness is a compound known as salicylic acid. When an acid is applied on the skin, it works by corroding the top layers. This can be a bit scary but only when dealing with strong acids. [RELATED] Salicylic acid is very mild. In fact, it is not even used in its purest forms. In regards to the best OTC removal medications for warts, go for creams or ointments containing 17% of the acid. Some other ingredients you can look for include alcohol, ascorbic acid and castor oil. Castor oil can in fact be used with baking soda against corns and calluses.Which over the counter wart removal cure to buy?
If you are stuck with not knowing which the best OTC freeze product to use against warts is, here are some of the features you can look for: Ease of use A product that that doesn’t need too many precautions and preparations is better suited. Remember that you will be using it for a couple of days or weeks. Customer reviews Wart Mole Vanish, Dr. Scholl’s Freeze and Compound W are good examples of top reviewed freeze compounds. You can start from there and see what other users have to say about a removal product that has your attention. Duration taken to work Of course you're too smart to go for a product that claims to work overnight. On the other hand, a product that requires more than 4 weeks to work may not be the one to settle for. 2-3 weeks will do. Sensitivity Most of the available products will are not to be applied on sensitive areas such as eyelids but will work for hands and hardy body parts.Which is the best over the counter skin tags removal product?
OTC products used against warts also work on skin tags. However, there are additional options in the case of skin tags removal. You can choose from any of the following: Wart removers The same salicylic acid that corrodes warts will have the same effect on skin tags. Remember to look for products containing 17% of the acid and ones that have been top reviewed. [RELATED] TagBand Since a skin tag attaches to the skin through a stalk, a string can be tied at the point of attachment to literally choke off the tag. The problem is that it can get a bit cumbersome and painful to tie the tag with a thread. The TagBand device provides a more friendly and customizable option. Tea tree oil Although there are other remedies that can work, tea tree oil is perhaps the best. It will neither leave scars behind nor will it irritate your skin. To add on that, the oil has been known to fight fungal infections and can be used against white spots on nails. Homeopathic remedies All natural removers have been included in this category. Their main selling point is based on the claim that they clear off skin tags and leave no evidence in form of a scar behind. Since there are an awful lot of them available today, the best approach is to see what previous users have to say about them. Amazon.com client reviews section can help.Which is the best over the counter mole removal and cure?
Like warts and skin tags, there are quite a number of over the counter mole removal and cure products. We will need not repeat the main mode of action. Unfortunately, OTC removal products for moles have not had a lot of success. This is the part that you will really need to read what previous users have to say. Amolis is a good example of an OTC mole remover. Most of its users affirm that it really works. In fact, you can use it against the other two skin conditions that we have discussed above. The important thing is to follow guidelines provided by the producer. [RELATED] Another such product is Tag No More. While it has been noted to require patience before desired results can set in, a significant population of clients did find it effective enough. You can check out reviews for other OTC mole removal products such as tea tree oil. The best place to get genuine reviews is on external sites such as Amazon. As you will find out pretty soon, testimonials on the official product websites will rarely say something negative about the product they are attempting to sell.Other over the counter skin tag, mole and wart removal options
The products we have been discussing so far are best used for growths on hands, neck and such hardy areas. For a genital wart, mole on face or skin tag, you will have to consider twice before using such products. In any case, you don’t want some acid, however mild, finding its way to your genitals or eyes.
That brings us to freezing the skin growths at home. Over the counter, you can purchase a freeze kit that works almost similarly to liquid nitrogen used in clinics for freezing skin tags and moles.
Such freeze kits make use of butane. It comes in spray which you can apply directly on the growths. The drawback with this cure option is that it may require quite a number of applications before being effective as needed.
The nitrogen used in clinics is about 3 times colder than OTC freeze kits. This enables it to penetrate deep into the skin and produce effects faster.
So which is the best over the counter removal product?
Some people will tell you that over the counter remedies are overrated. Others will tell a tale of the many such products they have tried without success. For instance, remedies such as castor oil are sometimes advertised as potential syringoma treatment. If you are to ask any professional, they will confirm that syringoma hasn’t shown much response to such remedies, or even to clinical medications. [RELATED] The point we are trying to drive home is that a product about which a few people are saying effusively nice things may not work all that well for you. However, many genuine reviews confirming that a product is actually effective can be relied on. If you are certain that the skin condition you are aiming to treat is not a case of infection or symptoms of an underlying health condition, you can try any top rated over the counter available product. More specifically, try some of the products we have mentioned here and other top rated ones that you will come across on genuine reviews. A bit of patience is necessary and a lot of sticking to the provided guidelines by the manufacturer. If all those fail to work, your dermatologist will provide a way forward. In any case, skin tags, moles and warts are easy to get rid of. [post_title] => Over the Counter Wart, Skin Tag & Mole Removal: Cure, Treatment.

Discussing skin growths or conditions affecting such an area, especially skin tags and warts, can be stigmatizing and embarrassing. The biggest problem with rectal skin tags and warts is that they are notoriously itchy. There is no way you can ignore them or completely overcome the urge to do some scratching. If that will not be embarrassing enough, it will invite all types of issues related to hygiene on top of irritating them further.What causes rectal skin tags?
Although some similarities are shared between rectal skin tags and skin tags on other areas, the former differ a bit. A penis skin tag will not encourage the development of another one on the rectal area even after sex. In short, they are not contagious. [RELATED] In regards to causes, friction and moisture occurring on the rectal area is to blame. Any of the following will encourage their development:- Hard stool – passing hard stool is mostly associated with hemorrhoids but can also produce skin tags. It is always recommended that you address any issue contributing to constipation.
- Anal sex – we need not go to the details in this case. Without lubes and such things, too much friction will be experienced in the rectal area.
- Pregnancy – a couple of changes that take place during and after pregnancy encourage skin tags, not only on the rectal area but also other body parts such as the groin.
Identifying rectal skin tags in pictures
It can be quite demanding if you are to identify rectal skin tags without touching them. In this case, you can try taking some pictures and compare. On pictures, you are likely to observe a loose skin projection that takes the color of the skin. There may be several of them in a cluster or just a single one. Unlike hemorrhoids, skin tags will be on the skin and projected outwards. Think of what a skin-colored rice grain or a grape would look like.Rectal skin tags removal
Even when on the rectal area, the tags will not be contagious or get to develop into complicated genital infections. The problem is that they may interfere with anal hygiene. They are also prone to injuries and in that case encourage genital infections. This is not even mentioning the issue of pain and itching.
Use of remedies such as tea tree oil, also used for a cold sore on chin, is definitely not an option. Even if such remedies have been known to be effective, the rectal area is far too sensitive for such products.
Using a TagBand or a dental floss to ligate the skin tags is a better option. This can be done at home, to address the issue of stigmatization.
If you are open to clinical removal, a doctor can get rid of the tag quite easily. This can be achieved through surgical removal, compounds to freeze skin tags or burning. A quick surgery is much better, since then you will not need more than one appointment.
Laser treatment can be used when the tags are not responding to other treatments or when surgery is not an option. It is more effective in demanding treatments such as syringoma removal.
What causes rectal warts?
Rectal warts are a type of genital warts. They appear on or in the anus. In initial stages, you will hardly observe any symptoms, not even pain or itchiness. In fact, you may not even notice that they are there. [RELATED] Without treatment, rectal warts will gain mass and may even spread to other genital areas. They will also be prone to injuries and irritation. This will end in a painful, bleeding and itchy rectal area. On pictures, large rectal warts will resemble cauliflowers. They usually form in clusters and are very soft upon touch.Rectal warts treatment and removal
Over the counter rectal warts treatment products are not recommended. Instead, topical medications will be prescribed by a doctor to get rid of them. Some medications will need to be applied in a clinic while others are to be taken at home. The warts usually start showing signs of healing after 2 weeks.Large rectal warts removal surgery
If the warts have grown too large, they will rarely respond well to topical medications. This also happens for warts too deep inside the rectal area.
In such cases, a doctor will most likely opt for a surgery to remove them. Such a surgery will not take long and the patient will be released on the same day after the operation.
Other removal methods such as freezing, burning and use of laser can also be possibilities. The problem with these is that several appointments will be needed.
How to prevent rectal skin tags and warts
For skin tags, prevention revolves around avoiding causes of friction on the rectal area. Measures such as not wearing too tight clothes and taking regular showers can help. [RELATED] Pregnant women should ensure that delivery occurs in a clinic or under the supervision of a professional. Sudden pressure sustained during delivery encourages rectal skin tags. Just like nail fungus and such, warts are infections. This means that their cause is identifiable. Therefore, prevention measures revolve around containing the HPV strain that causes them. Anal sex, for example, will transmit the virus. Warts are more common in people with low immunity. This can be encouraged by diseases such as diabetes and HIV. In such cases, see your doctor for prescription medication meant to contain the virus. [post_title] => Rectal Skin Tags & Warts removing: Surgery, Causes, Treatment, Recovery.

These include warts, hemorrhoids, anal fissures and skin tags. Any of these conditions can be confused with another. For this reason, you may need to browse through available images and pictures for comparison.Guides and information on perianal skin tag causes
Perianal skin tag causes revolve around factors that encourage a lot of friction to the areas around the anus. Any of the following factors will encourage them:- Pregnancy – changes in hormonal levels endured during pregnancy are a common cause of skin tags. During delivery, a lot of friction and pressure will also contribute.
- Anal sex – the walls of the anus are bound to endure a lot of rubbing. This will certainly create the friction we identified as the main cause of skin tags.
- Constipation – just the same way it causes hemorrhoids, it will encourage tags to form on the skin of the anal walls.
- Obesity – this need no explanation. It has everything to do with pressure sustained on the buttocks when siting.
Perianal skin tags removal
Perianal skin tags removal is best done in a clinic. In this case, a doctor will perform a quick surgery to cut off the tags. It is a simple operation and a patient will be given leave on the same day the operation is done. Some post care services will be needed to ensure that the area doesn’t become infected. [RELATED] If you are not open to surgery, the same method used to freeze off moles can be used. If all those fail, laser therapy will be considered. It is more effective for clustered skin tags and when surgery is not open to consideration.Perianal skin tags removal at home
You may be considering options to remove perianal skin tags at home. Well, there will be difficulties in achieving that. The fact that they are perianal means that the use of over the counter creams and products is advised against. Even remedies such as tea tree oil, which show so much success in treating conditions such as cold sores in the mouth, are not encouraged.
The best option in treating such skin tags at home is to use a TagBand or a dental floss to ligate them. Since this may obviously present a challenge unless you are spectacularly flexible and have strategically placed mirrors, you can have a friend or partner help you to place the ligation. Either that, or you can go to a doctor who is not only more qualified to do this, he is likely to be less horrified by the procedure than your friend or partner.
Guides and information on Perianal warts symptoms
Perianal warts symptoms are rarely felt until the warts have grown in size or have spread. In fact, an outbreak can occur and naturally heal without you ever noticing. It is common in guys with a very active immune system. Just like skin fungus will keep spreading without treatment, perianal warts too will appear on other body parts courtesy of the initial development. When they occur, perianal warts symptoms and common features include:- Fleshy growths around the anus
- The growths can be flat or raised
- Clusters will continue to form from the initial growth
- With close inspection and as seen on on images, the growths will share resemblance with tiny cauliflowers
- Normally, the growths will not hurt, itch or bleed. The reverse happens when they become irritated and infected.
Perianal warts treatment and removal
Perianal warts treatment is quite demanding. The problem is that you cannot apply some essential oils or cover them with a duct tape just like that. No one is willing to try options such as a syringoma cream, which contains an active acid, on their genitals. Such attempts will invite other more serious infections of the genitals. [RELATED] Luckily, there are a couple of prescription medications that are quite effective for small and young warts. Some will be applied by the doctor while some are to be taken routinely at home until the warts clear off. A doctor may choose to have the warts removed by surgery. This is the fastest and most effective method. They can also be poisoned with laser beams or frozen. Warts that do not respond to topical medications are removed this way.Over the counter perianal warts and skin tags removal
If you are considering some over the counter removal options for perianal skin tags and warts, very few options will be open for consideration.
Well, someone may suggest a remedy such as tea tree oil. In any case, it works perfectly on white spots on toenails or even warts on hands. These are hardy body parts however. It is not the same with the anal area.
For a penis skin tag or one on the anus, the best over the counter removal product is a TagBand device or a dental floss. You can also try a freezing kit for sole and small skin tags.
In the case of perianal warts, freezing at home will work, but only for very small warts. You can use such a method when the warts are identified in very early stages.
Other than that, just have a doctor treat them or wait for them to go away naturally. The important thing to remember is that they are very contagious, both to other people and to other genital areas.
Prevention information for perianal skin tags and warts
For skin tags, avoid habits that will encourage rubbing against the anal area. Avoid wearing tight clothes and thongs for example. You can review the causes identified above again to know what to avoid. [RELATED] In the case of warts, they will keep coming back even after treatment. Since the body naturally fights active HPV, measures to improve the immune system like healthy lifestyles and not smoking will help. Sex is the main way in which warts are spread. You may want to avoid that or take the necessary safety measures. The problem with warts is that they can be contracted after skin to skin contact even when sexual intimacy is not involved. Also, it can help to get tested for warts or any related condition. In this case, a doctor may prescribe some medications that work by containing the causal organism.

A bit longer may be needed for a mole or for warts, especially ones occurring on the genitals and such areas. However, it is a guarantee that you will not leave a dermatologist’s clinic with a skin growth you went to get surgically removed. But who is willing to keep going back to clinics even for small skin tags and removing moles that can be treated at home?What is a skin tag, mole or wart removal kit?
A remover kit generally refers to a combination of tools or remedies meant to treat a certain skin growth or condition at home. They can be bought over the counter or made at home. Buying a remover kit is a better option. This is because top reviewed kits have been tested and will almost certainly work. The problem is that you may still be needed to see a doctor for large or infected skin conditions or for ones on eyes and genitals. Removal kits are only recommendable for skin tags under arms, moles on the hand and things along these lines. [RELATED] But before buying, some information on the best one to use and when to use it is of importance. This is to ensure that you don’t waste your money or end up worsening the condition.Reviews for best skin tag removal kit
Perhaps the best way to get rid of skin tags at home is to ligate them. This involves tying them at the base with a thread. The process is however somehow cumbersome and can become painful. To avoid all that, a TagBand device is a much better option. A top reviewed TagBand device should definitely be among your top options.
Freezing is another way that skin tags can be removed at home. Although the available remover kits that work by freezing the tags are not as effective as clinical cryotherapy, they can be effective for small skin tags. Bearing in mind that skin tag removal cost depends on the number of tags removed, freezing the small ones that will respond is a cost saving move.
Finally, a remover kit may be based on creams or ointments that contain acid as the major ingredient. Natural removal kits use Thuja Occidentalis as the main ingredient. Salicylic acid works by digesting the skin growths to be removed. When considering such a remover kit, you definitely need to check reviews provided by users. Many of these kits, unfortunately, do not prove to be effective.
How a wart removal kit works according to reviews
According to reviews, a wart removal kit should work by killing the outer layers of the wart. With time, the wart will stop any further growth and ultimately die off. For warts, removal kits that require application of an ointment or a cream on the warts are most commonly used. They will always come with full instructions and even photos to guide you on how to use them for best results. [RELATED] As you may learn at some point in this process, warts can prove hard to get rid of. It is for this reason that patience and a lot of research will be needed before buying a wart remover kit. A good place to get genuine reviews by other users is on chat forums or on official websites for retailers like Amazon.com. The other option you may find helpful is the use of a freezing kit. Freezing is supposed to deprive the wart off oxygenated blood. With time, a frozen wart will fall off the skin. This is a better plantar wart removal method than creams and ointments.When to use a wart removal kit product
For common, flat and plantar warts, removal kits can be used. In fact, you can make your own and use it on them.
When it comes to genital and warts around the eyes, caution should be taken when using removal kits. In fact, only use freezing kits in such cases.
Large warts will rarely respond to remover products. They are also very contagious. In such case, surgery or laser therapy will be needed. Consult a doctor if remover kits are not effective enough.
Which is the Best Mole removal kit product?
Unlike skin conditions such as skin fungus, moles are not contagious. They however have been observed to be more common in those who are genetically predisposed towards them. When it comes to buying a mole removal kit that will work, the best approach is to go with products containing 17% of salicylic acid. [RELATED] Compound W Freeze and Mole & Wart vanish are good places to start with. There are of course many other related removal kits. But as we have seen, most will not work as well as you would expect. Always remember, reviews from other users and details provided on forums will help a great deal. Caution should be taken when treating moles with remover kits. Although only about 1 in 100 moles will show signs of cancer, taking chances is unnecessary. Learn all the signs of malignant moles and consult a doctor when the signs are observed.How to make a skin tag, mole and wart remover kit
You can easily make a removal kit at home with the following remedies:- Tea tree oil – mild but effective. Can also be used for a cold sore on the lip.
- Duct tape
- Apple cider vinegar
- Castor oil + baking soda
- Aloe Vera
How to get rid of common warts on hands with a duct tape
Duct tape is an often-used option for how to get rid of common warts on the hands, especially on a finger. The first thing you will need to do is purchase the duct tape itself. This can be done locally over the counter. [RELATED] Next, identify the size of the wart you want to remove and measure a duct tape piece that will cover it completely. Before applying it, ensure that the affected part is cleaned and well dried with a wash cloth dedicated to that purpose only. In fact, replace the wash cloth the next time you need to use it. Apply the duct tape on the wart and wait for 6 days, a period after which you will repeat the process. Using duct tape for common wart treatment on a finger, on the leg and basically any other body part will work best when used with salicylic acid, as discussed below.Common wart treatment and removal
Salicylic acid and duct tape are perhaps the most effective common wart removal methods that will always work. For best results, the two should be used at the same time.- First, soak the affected area in warm water for about 5 minutes. This helps soften the warts so that the salicylic acid can seep into the skin.
- Gently rub the wart with a pumice stone to get rid of the surface dead skin
- Apply the salicylic acid directly to the entire wart
- Cover the wart with duct tape and leave it for 6 days
Common wart removal on legs and on hands
Warts occurring on less sensitive parts like on fingers, on feet and on hands can be removed with over the counter gels, patches, ointments and pads. This is because most people are flexible enough to wait for these products to work, bearing in mind that such body parts are less likely to draw attention.
Over the counter common wart removal products such as Compound W or Duofilm can take some time to get rid of common wart but are effective in the end.
Most of them make use of salicylic acid. When applied, the acid will keep corroding the wart gradually. Eventually, you will barely notice the bump that used to be there. Again, you will be required to keep using a pumice stone to get rid of the dead skin layers of the wart. This method will require patience.
[RELATED]
However, neither clinical treatments nor over the counter options will work on their own. In fact, a doctor may advise you to keep using over the counter common wart treatment methods while still going for clinical appointments.
Keep comparing before and after images or pictures to know if a common wart removal option you are using is working. If not, you can always approach your doctor for further guidance.
How to get rid of common warts; clinical treatment
Since some warts do not respond to over the counter treatments, you may want to visit a clinic to have them removed by a doctor. Any of the following procedures can be options on how to get rid of common warts in a clinic:- Use of liquid nitrogen to freeze the warts. In liquid form, nitrogen is a very cold substance that kills the blood vessels inside the warts. Lack of nutrients leads to the warts falling off after some time. This method may require several appointments to work effectively.
- Laser treatment therapies that see the warts poisoned with carbon dioxide
- Minor surgeries that will have a doctor cut off the warts with a scalpel. This is not common, since warts may still recur. Cutting off skin tags is a better option, since skin tags are not caused by a virus, unlike warts.
- The warts can also be removed with an electrically operated needle.
- Some acids including salicylic acid can be applied directly to the warts to break them down layer by layer.
- Injections with an antiviral medicine can also be used when other treatments have failed. Antiviral medications will kill the virus responsible for occurrence of the warts, especially severe vaginal herpes. This method may not be used during pregnancy.
- To ‘boost’ the immune system, an antigen can be injected into the body. This arouses disease fighting body cells and in the process promotes self-heal from warts. It is not often done in people with weak immunity, diabetes or during pregnancy.
Common wart treatment with a home remedy
Common warts on the feet or even on sensitive areas such as the genitals can be removed with a home remedy. Although it can be hard to tell whether the home remedy you are using indeed removed the warts or they just ended up healing naturally, before and after pictures can still help you keep track of the improvement.
Any home remedy from this list can be used for common wart treatment. In fact you can use a combination of them to hasten the healing process.
- Castor oil and baking soda
- Tea tree oil - it can also be used to remove a skin tag on the nipple
- Pineapple juice
- Garlic
- Apple cider vinegar – it has antiviral properties which may get rid of the HPV virus causing warts. Herpes on the finger or other less sensitive parts can be treated with this home remedy. Caution should be taken since strong solutions can cause corrosion to the skin.
- Banana peel
- Vitamin E and C pastes
- Honey
- Bee propolis
- Aloe Vera - aloe Vera is also very defective in curing skin infections. A ringworm cream containing this product for instance will almost certainly work effectively.
- Paste made from aspirin
How to get rid of common warts; understanding the causes
Sometimes, vaguely understanding a disease is the main cause of spread and severe infections. Common warts are caused by a virus. The virus can be spread from one person to another and from one part of the body to another. [RELATED] One of the ways in which the spread can be avoided is by getting treatment when the symptoms arise. Another way is by maintaining personal hygiene such as not sharing foot wear and underwear or other inner clothing. In fact, the chances of getting a wart on foot by wearing another infected person’s shoes are more than 70%. If you have any reason to suspect of having contracted common warts or are experiencing the symptoms, the best thing is to visit a clinic and have a doctor run a diagnosis. You can also take pictures and images of the affected skin part and send them to an online doctor. [post_title] => How to Get rid of Common warts: removal, treatments & home remedy.

These are a type of warts that appear on the feet. They are related to another type of warts known as palmer warts, which appear on the hands. HPV virus is the virus behind occurrence of warts. However, the particular type of HPV virus that causes genital warts is different from the one responsible for plantar warts. Calluses are easily taken for plantar warts and vice versa. They are not the same however. Although warts are contagious, they are not spread through wart seeds as some people would have it. The black dots that develop on warts are actually tiny vessels of blood. Due to pressure applied on them when walking, plantar warts are bound to acquire a flattened appearance. You are advised to see a doctor if you have doubts about which type of skin lesion you are dealing with.What causes plantar warts and their symptoms?
What causes plantar warts? Three main strains of the human papillomavirus are known to cause this type of warts. They are spread after bare skin comes into contact with an infected area. Naturally, the body’s immune system will fight off the virus and prevent it from developing any further. In cases that this fails, the warts will develop. So far, a vaccine against plantar warts has not been developed, unlike the case with genital warts. They can however be treated in a clinic or at home with particular home remedies. [RELATED] Children below the age of 16 years and above the age of 12 years are most affected. They also can occur in older people but not frequently. Predisposing factors include:- Weak immunity – The immune system is supposed to fight off any invasion by HPV virus. In children with weakened immunity resulting from one reason or another, the chances of getting infected with plantar warts are heightened.
- Communal places– If an infected child for example touches a certain area in a playground or in a shared shower, they are bound to spread the virus to other children who have skin contact with the infected areas.
- Skin traumas – Injuries on the skin caused by certain illnesses, cuts and other forms of injuries will act as entry points for the HPV virus.
- Painful thickened areas on the foot
- Tight lesions with black spots
- Smooth parts of the foot that may be yellow, brown or grayish in color
- Crowded firm lesions which are known as mosaic warts
Home remedies for plantar warts removal
Plantar wart home remedy removal options are numerous. You can choose any one of them depending on the mildness of the wart or the availability of the needed equipment. It is good to note that warts will almost certainly go away on their own. The problem is that this may even take up to months or years. Although they are harmless and non-cancerous, warts can be discomforting and bring about self-confidence issues. Here are the available plantar wart home remedy removal options:
OTC treatment kits
There are a couple of OTC kits that you can use to get rid of plantar warts at home. They work best for small warts which may not have turned black. Most of them make use of a type of acid known as salicylic acid. Depending on the kit, lactic acid can also be included.
Compound W is a good example. Others include Wart-Off and Freezone. The basic idea is to get rid of the outer part of the wart (keratin). This will continuously wear off the whole wart.
Ensure that the specific guidelines provided on how to use the particular wart removal kit that you have chosen are followed. Additionally, you are not recommended to use salicylic acid in infants for a prolonged duration of time.
Home surgery
Surgery is best done in a clinic. However, you can do a minor one at home. The outer part of a wart is usually not painful. Therefore, you can cut it with a sharp blade and apply a bandage on it.
[RELATED]
Apple cider vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is a popular home remedy for warts and skin tag removal. It is advisable that you use it with an essential oil such as coconut oil.
It works by burning the wart off layer by layer. It is important to note that apple cider vinegar will have the same burning effect on healthy bare skin. If you are to use it, ensure that it has been applied only on the wart to be removed. You can get more information on how to remove a wart with apple cider vinegar online.
Banana peel
Ripe banana peels are perhaps the most effective yet inexpensive plantar warts removal home remedies. All it requires is a small portion of ripe banana peel to be placed on top of the wart. If you have access to tea tree oil, apply it to the peel to avoid contamination.
Don’t use green banana peels. In fact, bananas which have ripened to the extent of being brown are best.
Super glue
Some people are flexible enough to use super glue for wart removal. I do not recommend this option however. The idea behind it is that super glue will peel a wart gradually and leave no scar afterwards.
Urine
Yes, you heard that right. It is said that urine can actually treat plantar warts. The science behind it is simple. Urine is acidic in nature. If it is to be applied constantly on a wart, the same will peel off layer by layer.
Duct tape
Duct tape is a common plantar warts home remedy. You can buy it in a local health store. Just cover the wart with for about a week. After that, remove the tape and soak the feet in water for about 20 minutes. Using a pumice stone, debride the wart a couple of times per day, until the wart is completely gone.
Clinical plantar wart treatment and surgery
With warts occurring in clusters (mosaic warts); the best approach is to have them treated by a doctor. Plantar wart treatment in a clinic can be done through the following options:
Freezing
Commonly referred to as cryotherapy, this form of plantar wart treatment method involves freezing the wart with liquid nitrogen. The method can be uncomfortable and in some cases painful. Your doctor will take you through the process and administer an anesthesia if necessary.
Surgical removal
A minor surgery can be performed on the wart to remove it completely. An electric needle will be used for the surgery. It is not a common plantar wart removal procedure and is usually painful. It also is likely to cause scarring. Again, you will have your doctor talk you through the procedure, to address any concerns you might have.
[RELATED]
Acid removal
Salicylic acid is most commonly used for plantar wart removal. The acid works by peeling off the layers of the wart gradually. It can also stimulate the body’s immune system to fight off the HPV virus responsible for plantar warts.
Your doctor may choose a different type of acid for plantar wart removal. It is important that you specifically get prescribed for and treated by a doctor. Use of acid for warts removal causes burning effect and can also burn other parts of the body not intended.
Laser removal
In this plantar wart treatment method, a pulsed dye is used to kill the tiny blood vessels that cluster and may have turned black in a wart. It will require you to visit a clinic several times to get the whole wart cleared. Additionally, this treatment method is painful and can leave a scar on the treated part of the skin.
Oral medications
There are no specific oral tablets of any other form of medication that can specifically be used as a medicine to cure plantar warts. However, oral medicine can be taken to boost immunity. The medicine can also be injected or applied externally on the infected part.
Vaccines
Genital and anal warts are commonly prevented against through HPV vaccines. For plantar warts, vaccines are not effective hence not commonly used for plantar wart treatment.
Which is the best way to get rid of plantar warts?
Now that we have discussed the various options there are on how to get rid of plantar warts, which one of them is the best? Well, it will always depend on the situation and individual circumstances to decide what will work best for you. For example, small warts can be removed with home remedies effectively enough. In fact, you can leave them be if they are not causing discomfort or pain. For persistent/clustered warts and ones with painful black dots, it will be for the best if they get treated in a hospital. The problem is that most of the available clinical warts removal methods are bound to cause scarring. [RELATED] In case you or your child has a wart and requires removal services, visit a clinic and you will be advised on how to get rid of it. This is helpful if you are to open to or not familiar with the use of home remedies. For bleeding warts, red/swollen ones and large indistinguishable warts, avoid home remedies and treatment. This also includes warts that persist or reappear even after treatment. Generally, burning and freezing off warts are the best way to remove warts. All the same, it will depend on your preferences and what your doctor advises.Plantar warts removal at home through prevention
Here are some of the ways you can get rid of plantar warts through prevention. They include:- Avoid damp feet
- Maintain feet hygiene, especially by changing socks daily and washing your legs
- Avoid walking barefooted especially in shared/public showers
- Ensure to check your children for any symptoms of plantar warts
- Avoid shared shoes and socks
- Cover injured parts of the feet. This may apply but not necessarily to injuries caused by open razor bumps.
- Get professional advice on skin growths and lesions that won’t go away or keep increasing in size.
What is the difference between genital warts and skin tags?
The main difference between genital warts and skin tags revolves around the cause and appearance. All warts are caused by HPV virus. This is not the same virus that causes herpes on the penis and genitals. Skin tags, on the other hand, arise when two body parts are in contact with one another and produce friction. This includes friction felt during sexual intercourse. It is a main cause of skin tags on the genitals. Any factor that will contribute to these causes will definitely result in either warts or skin tags. [RELATED] When it comes to appearance, skin tags are more like projections which are connected to the skin by a skinny stalk. This stalk can be easily cut with a razor or a pair of scissors. They take the color of the skin. Warts on the other hand are not projections but skin growths. Their mass is evenly distributed. While some may appear a bit raised, most are flattened on the part of skin they occur. Upon touch, they feel very soft and fleshly. Warts too are skin-colored.Difference between genital warts and skin tags; what causes them
Sexual intercourse is the main mode of transmission when it comes to genital warts. An infected person can pass the virus even when they don't show the symptoms. Since it is a viral infection, wart removal can only be done to get rid of the symptoms, namely the the skin growths, but not the virus. In fact, recurrent attacks will continue to occur throughout one’s life.
Skin tags are not typical infections. They in fact will not cause swollen lymph nodes or even pain unless physically injured. When frequent friction is sustained on a part of the body such as the buttocks, inner thighs, under arm and such, a projection will form. It can continue getting bigger with time.
Difference between genital warts and skin tags; identifying them in pictures
If you are to take close-up pictures, genital warts will resemble cauliflowers and should not be confused with genital pimples. Areas around the anus, on the penis shaft, vaginal walls, vulva and penis tip are the most probable areas to find them. [RELATED] Although they may occur on the cervix, chances are high that they will then spread to the outside of the vagina. Skin tags are unpredictable in regards to where they will occur. In pictures, they should resemble a literal skin-colored tag.How to treat skin tags and genital warts
While some treatment methods can be used for both, genital warts may need medically prescribed medications to fight the virus. Treatments for genital warts aim to inhibit the spread of the causal virus and at the same time get rid of the skin growths themselves. Skin tags treatment methods only aim to get rid of the growths and not the cause. In both cases, clinical treatment may be necessary where home remedies have failed to work. [RELATED] Remedies such as tea tree oil can be tried on both. They are effective especially for skin tags on the face and other sensitive areas. There also are over the counter removal kits which can be used for the same removal purpose.Are skin tags and genital warts contagious?
Skin tags do not pass from one person to another. They also do not spread to other body parts courtesy of an initial infection. Genital warts are, on the other hand, very contagious. They can spread to other people or to other body parts. Just like with herpes, the virus takes advantage of open sores or cracks on the skin for entry points. It is for this reason that it is possible to contract herpes on the leg and other unlikely parts such as the shoulders.

They can appear almost anywhere on skin and are named according to where they occur. Warts are usually rough, small growths that take the color of skin. They also often resemble cauliflowers.
