Understanding Wart Removal: Causes, Prevention, and Modern Treatment Approaches

Warts are skin bumps that appear when an axone called human papillomavirus (HPV) targets the upper layer of skin. They are usually harmless, but they may cause irritation unattractive, unsightly, and in a few instances, painful, in the case of the location of their appearance. Understanding the causes behind warts, how to prevent warts and taking prescribed medication can help you to control and eliminate warts.

What Causes Warts?

HPV is a type of virus that can infect the body through small cracks, cuts or other weak spots on the skin, which can cause warts. The HPV varieties are more than 100 and each can cause warts on particular body areas. For instance the most common warts show up on hands, while plantar warts are found in the foot, while flat warts appear on the face or legs.

Warts can be transmitted. They can be transmitted through touching the body directly with the person suffering from them, or by touching them with surfaces that have come into contact with the virus - towels, flooring, or a grooming tool shared.

Different Types of Warts

1. Common warts - These are typically located on the hands and fingers, they are rough in texture and are grayish in color.
2. Plantar warts - emerge on the soles of the feet and they may cause pain when walking because of the pressure.
3. Flat warts - Smoother and smaller and can be found on the face, legs and arms.
4. Filiform warts - These are long and narrow warts that normally develop around the mouth and nose or the eyes.
5. Periungual warts - This is located around nails and is capable of attacking nail growth.

How to Prevent Warts

Although warts may not always be fully prevented, there are some preventive measures which are simple to avoid infection:

1. Do not touch the warts
2. Wash and dry your skin 
3. Wear shoes during shower or gym
4. Do not share personal articles 
5. Improve immunity
6. Practice good hygiene

Contemporary Therapy of Warts

Most warts would go away automatically with time as the immune system of the body combats the virus but there are those warts that would remain and may need treatment. 

1. Cryotherapy: This involves the freezing of the wart with liquid nitrogen so that it can fall off with a number of sessions.
2. Laser therapy: Laser gives up focused light energy that is used to burn up the wart tissue.
3. Electrosurgery and curettage: It is a burning and scraping of the wart with the help of a local anesthesia.
4. Topical agents: Non prescription or prescription salicylic acid or immune stimulating agents.
5. Immunotherapy: This assists the immune system to identify and destroy cells that are infected with HPV.
