Home Cures For Warts

Unsightly warts.  Most of us get at least one in our lifetime and we want to get rid of them and fast.  This skin growth, although harmless, steals our confidence away from us depending on where the wart is located.  Some of the warts are out of sight and do not bother us as much as the ones that are out in the open for everyone to see. 

This growth on the skin is caused by a virus, the human papillomavirus or HPV, which totals more than 100 different types.  When this virus attacks it delves into the epidermis, also known as the very top layer or our skin.  Any area of broken skin is subject to this little germ getting in.  When it buries itself under there it causes the skin to grow at a greater speed. 

This will then turn into a wart.  Sometimes, approximately 40 to 50 per cent of the time, they will disappear on its own anywhere from a month to several years.  Warts are best known for their pale-colored exteriors.  Everyone is subject to them, but they mostly affect kids and young adults.  Warts have been known to spread viruses and multiply.  If you see this happening they need to be treated as soon as possible to avoid spreading. 

Since none of us really like going to the doctor you can attempt to try these home cures for warts.  Depending on the wart, how the instructions are followed out and various other factors these may or may not work, but it is worth a try. 

Home cures for warts:

Try an over-the-counter salicylic acid product.  This acid will attempt to dissolve the wart by first making it a little softer.  A word of caution here.  If you have diabetes or decreased circulation you should not apply this to your skin. 

A very popular home cure for warts is duct tape.  Yes, it is that simple providing it works.  People have been known to get rid of their warts using this method of treatment.  Medical tape will also suffice if there is no duct tape around.  You wrap the tape around the wart and do not disturb it.  Leave it there for weeks, three to be precise.  The only reason that this tape should be taken off is to change it.  Plain castor oil to the wart before applying the tape is optional. 

Lastly, salicylic acid plaster pads.  Apply only to the wart itself and avoid any areas of good skin around the wart.  This pad should be reapplied to the wart only every 4 to 5 days and the good skin around the edges should have Vaseline applied to it. 

These and several more home cures for warts have been successful in many people.  If the home cures for warts fail to satisfy you then a visit to the dermatologist is in order.
