Nowadays, removing a wart on the body is a matter oftroublesome, but not expensive, because it is done even in ordinary free clinics using liquid nitrogen, electrocoagulation, laser, etc. But just half a century ago, our grandmothers and mothers coped well with this problem on their own, without resorting to the help of doctors. Unfortunately, we have already forgotten about many effective and useful folk beauty recipes, since it is much easier to contact a specialist who will remove the papilloma surgically than to mess around with the preparation of this or that remedy. So, let's try to figure out how to get rid of warts?
What does the build-up on the skin say?
First of all, it is important to understand that suchgrowths on the body are not only an aesthetic problem, but also a medical one. If you have started to develop warts, it means that you have contracted an infection. You could have contracted the papilloma virus either through contact with an infected person or by using their things. That is why after visiting public places it is recommended to wash your hands with soap, which has an antibacterial effect. The incubation period can be up to three months, but in some cases it lasts up to three years. Most often, those who become ill self-heal after a certain time. By the way, such growths usually appear in cases where a serious failure occurs in the body and the immune system decreases. Therefore, if you or members of your family have developed a disease, reconsider your lifestyle, start eating right and give up bad habits.
Folk recipes of beauty
Removing warts with improvised means –the procedure is serious and dangerous, so it is recommended to consult a specialist and undergo a full examination beforehand. If no other diseases are detected, you can safely begin self-treatment. If after a month the warts do not go away or the skin condition worsens, you should immediately contact your doctor.
- Celandine
In the villages of Rus', almost all ruralResidents removed such growths on the body using ordinary celandine. It is enough to smear the growths on the skin twice a day (morning and evening) until they fall off. This usually happens on the third or fourth day, no later. Please note that you should use only fresh juice. The full course of treatment is about two weeks, but it can be extended after a seven-day break.
- Garlic
In winter, when it is impossible to get fragrant herbs,you can make masks from garlic. You need to grind one clove into a homogeneous gruel and apply it for two or three minutes, then rinse the skin with plenty of water. The laziest people can simply cut one piece in half and wipe the growth with the juice that comes out. Do not do this procedure for more than 10 days - otherwise you risk harming your skin.
- Magnesia
There is a more modern way to withdrawwarts quickly and painlessly - this is a daily intake of magnesia. The medicine should be taken in the morning and evening before meals. Be careful and control the amount of powder - even an adult of average build needs a little (measure on the tip of a knife). Be sure to remember that the full course of treatment for warts should not last longer than one week. Extending it is simply dangerous for your health. And in general - before starting such treatment, it would be a good idea to consult with your doctor. It is unlikely, but in some cases there may be contraindications to taking magnesia.
- Acetic essence
In second place in terms of effectiveness in the fight againstgrowths after celandine is ordinary household vinegar, which is in the kitchen of any housewife. Every evening after taking a bath or shower, drip one drop of this product onto the growths. To do this, you can use a pipette or cotton swabs, which can be used to lubricate the head of the wart. In most cases, warts begin to disappear after a few days, but treatment can be stopped only after 7 - 10 days.
- Kalanchoe
This plant is used for the treatment of almostall diseases, from the common cold to burns and bruises. Thanks to its magical properties, Kalanchoe will also cope with warts. For a week, every night before going to bed, apply a bandage soaked in juice to the skin where the growths are located. To enhance the effect, you can also add finely chopped or blended leaves. Most likely, even the largest warts will disappear.
- Bow
Marinate a fresh onion for three to four hoursvinegar, then grind. Cut out circles (four centimeters in diameter) from waterproof fabric, in the middle of which make holes the size of the wart. This is necessary in order to remove the growth and not burn the skin. After you stick the base with a plaster, put the resulting gruel on the problem area. This procedure should be done at night. The course of treatment itself should be continued for about 10 days.
- Copper sulfate
The most difficult warts to remove are those on the face, becausethin and delicate skin is very easy to damage with aggressive and caustic substances. Therefore, it is worth choosing more loyal, but no less effective methods of treatment. So, for example, to eliminate such defects, you can use copper sulfate, which must first be mixed with butter. First, the formations are lubricated with ordinary salicylic ointment (it is sold in pharmacies without a prescription and will be affordable for every resident of our country). The resulting mixture is applied on top in a thin layer, which dries the wart. During the procedure, you can feel a slight burning and tingling sensation caused by copper sulfate. If the sensations are unpleasant, but nothing more, then you need to endure a little. But if the discomfort is too strong, immediately rinse the skin with plenty of water and lubricate with baby cream. You should not experiment further - most likely this method does not suit you. The unconditional advantage of this method is that after its use there are no scars on the skin. At first, a small depression, redness, inflammation and swelling may remain at the site of the fallen wart. Wipe this area with special disinfectant tinctures and healing ointments. And after finishing the treatment, be sure to visit a dermatologist! He will assess the condition of your skin and, if necessary, adjust the restorative treatment.
- Dry ice
If flat spots start to appear on your skinwarts, try removing them with dry ice. Wrap the cube in gauze (in two or three layers) or a regular cloth napkin, and apply it to the problem area for about forty seconds. If you can stand it longer, hold it until the limit. It will not take many sessions to cope with this problem, usually 5-7. It is not worth continuing the treatment longer. But strictly ensure that the ice does not get on healthy areas of the skin - otherwise there is a risk of damaging the skin.
- Baths with soda
Growths on the sole of the foot can causepainful sensations and discomfort, so they should be removed immediately, without waiting for the size to increase. So, first you will need to steam your feet in hot water (two tablespoons of soda per liter of boiling water). After half an hour, try to cut out the softened part where the wart is located using special tweezers and pick out the root. At the end of the procedure, disinfect the wound with hydrogen peroxide, lubricate with iodine and bandage. Try to walk as little as possible in the next two or three days. Then start lubricating the wound with Levomekol ointment until it heals completely.
- Herbal tea leaves
To prevent the spread of infection,It is worth wiping the skin daily with decoctions and infusions of burdock, coltsfoot, oak bark, wormwood, blueberry leaves and other plants. If you do not have the opportunity to dry the herbs yourself, buy a collection at the pharmacy. The rules for use and the purpose of a particular product are usually written by the manufacturers on the packaging - strict adherence to the recommendations helps to get rid of warts faster.
Believe or not to believe?
Another good method for removing warts isself-hypnosis. It is not for nothing that there are so many different spells used by people who believe in magic, witchcraft and the supernatural. In fact, by performing this or that ritual, we program ourselves for recovery.
- Wheat stems
If you live near a field wherewheat, go there and pull out a couple of stems together with the roots. Prick the wart a couple of times with the sharp end (not until it bleeds), then bury the straw in the ground upside down. Note that the roots must be on top. As the legend goes, when the blade of grass rots, the warts will disappear immediately.
- Apple and thread
It is necessary to cut a fresh apple in a regular wayred thread and rub the resulting halves on the growths on the body. After this, the pieces are collected, rewound so that they hold together, and buried in the ground. As in the first case, you should wait until the fruit completely rots. In fact, warts disappear due to acid, so it is worth taking a green apple and preferably one grown in its homeland. By the way, the same thing was done with potatoes in Rus'.
- Meditation
Turn on some relaxing music, sit comfortably onchair, put your hands on your knees, close your eyes and imagine how the warts on your body gradually begin to disappear. This option is suitable for very suspicious and sensitive people, since meditation works exactly the same way as the placebo effect. If necessary, you can read special spells for the waning or waxing moon.
- Dog's saliva
It is not known who was the first to risk smearingwart with dog saliva, but people believe that this is one of the best ways to combat growths. Of course, you can also try this remedy, but you should do it very carefully. Do not try to get the life-saving liquid out of the mouth yourself, lubricate the skin with warts with something tasty. Ten minutes after the dog licks the food, wash the body with soap. By the way, please note that the animal must be completely healthy and calm.
To work or not to work - that is the question?
Don't expect the wart to disappear on the very first daywill fall off, and in its place there will be smooth skin. At first, the head of the growth will begin to darken a little until it turns black. Do not worry, as this indicates that the roots of the formation are starting to dry out. However, do not make the most common mistake in this situation - do not cut off the skin under any circumstances, as this is fraught with negative consequences. As a result of such manipulations, scars may remain on the body or the virus will begin to progress. Remember, such a growth should fall off on its own and without any outside help. If our methods of how to get rid of warts do not suit you, go to the doctor.
In what cases should I remove the lesions on the skin surgically?
If the wart on your back does not bother you in any way anddoes not poison your life, then you are unlikely to pay attention to it. But such growths on the face or hands look, to put it mildly, not very attractive. Unfortunately, people around you still cannot normally relate to such defects. In addition, you are unlikely to want to infect your colleagues at work and household members with the papilloma virus. It is urgently worth removing the wart if you feel discomfort, pain, it changes in size, darkens, you constantly damage and injure it. You should be careful with it, as with a mole, since benign formations can turn malignant. The same applies if the growth is on the sole of the foot. In the hospital, everything will be done quickly and painlessly, and after a couple of days the skin will completely heal. We advise you to read:
