All About Wart Treatment

These days there are a wide variety of options for successful wart treatment. Treatments abound, varying from as simple as using duct tape, to as high-tech as using lasers. For less severe cases there are some great treatments you can use in the comfort and privacy of your own home. For more severe cases, there are some safe and effective medical options. Most warts will eventually go away on their own, expelled by the body's immune system. About 25% are gone within 3-6 months and 65% disappear within 2 years. However, if you prefer to remove the wart, the treatment times will vary. This will depend on the age, size and type of wart along with the treatment option chosen. The goal of most wart removal treatments is to help the body recognize the wart as foreign and to use the immune system to eliminate it, much like the body eliminates a cold or virus.

Duct Tape

Place duct tape over the wart. Do not remove the tape for 7 days. Then take off the tape and open the area to the air for 12 hours. Reapply the tape for another 7 days. Duct tape works because the airtight, moist environment under the tape will not allow the wart virus (HPV) to grow.

Acid Treatment

Acid based wart treatment products (salicylic acid) are available by many different brands at your local pharmacy. They usually come in liquid form to apply onto the wart. The area with the wart should be soaked in warm water for a few minutes before the acid. Apply the acid to the wart only. Do not apply it to other skin areas because of salicylic acid's potential to burn or irritate the skin. Follow product instructions for treatment times and instructions. Note: If you have genital warts you need to see a doctor for treatment options. Salicylic acid treatment is not appropriate for genital warts and should not be used.

Liquid Nitrogen

Liquid nitrogen products for wart treatment are now available at your local pharmacy. Liquid nitrogen or cryotherapy is used to freeze the wart. When liquid nitrogen is applied to the wart, the water in the cells expands and bursts. The burst cells expose the wart virus (human papillomavirus) to the body's immune system. The immune system then destroys the virus and eliminates the wart.

Medical Options for Wart Treatment

Liquid Nitrogen

Liquid nitrogen products for wart treatment can now be purchase at the local pharmacy but in some advanced cases of warts the doctor may choose to administer liquid nitrogen treatment at his/her office. Liquid nitrogen or cryotherapy is used to freeze the wart. When liquid nitrogen is applied to the wart, the water in the cells expands and bursts. The burst cells expose the wart virus (hpv) to the body's immune system. The immune system then destroys the virus and eliminates the wart.

Laser Treatment

Lasers are a more recent development used for wart treatment. Lasers are used that emit a very intense source of light. The laser light has a high amount of energy that heats the tissue to a point where it vaporizes the wart cells and the wart is eliminated.

Surgical Treatment

Surgical wart treatment may be necessary when all other treatment methods fail. This would involve numbing the region around the wart and cutting out the wart. This option is usually a last resort as it can be painful and may leave scars.
