Traditional ways to eliminate warts
If you see a doctor, you will beSeveral methods of removing warts are suggested. All of them are completely safe, but their differences are quite significant, so carefully read each of them. Although, most likely, the doctor himself will select and advise the most suitable method for you.
- Removal with nitrogen
One of the most popular methods of treatmentwarts - this is cryodestruction using liquid nitrogen. Simply put, the wart is frozen at a very low temperature, resulting in tissue death. Most people have a vague idea of how this happens - hence all sorts of fears. In fact, there is nothing complicated about this procedure. The doctor takes a special applicator (a wooden stick) with a cotton swab at the end. Although in some cases a special reservoir can be used - a cryoapplicator, which contains nitrogen. If a wooden stick with a cotton swab is used, it is the cotton wool that is soaked in liquid nitrogen. The applicator is pressed tightly against the wart for about 30 minutes - depending on the size of the wart - with light pressure. During this time, the wart will become very pale and much denser than usual. After another short period of time, a slight swelling and redness of the skin around the wart will appear. And an hour after the procedure, the wart will turn into a blister with watery contents. It is worth noting - it is quite painful when touching it. This blister will dissolve in about two to three weeks - first the blister itself will begin to decrease in size, then a crust will form. When this crust falls off, there will be no trace of the wart. In no case should you scratch the crust or try to tear it off, since otherwise there is a high risk of scarring.
- Laser Wart Removal
The most modern way to get rid of wartsand other benign formations - laser beam. This method has many advantages - laser removal of warts is almost painless, and scars with scars almost never remain. Although, of course, there are exceptions, but very, very rarely. Doctors use the latest equipment - pulsed laser. The principle of removal is very simple - with the help of a laser beam, the doctor cauterizes nearby blood vessels that feed the wart. Very quickly, the tissue of the wart, deprived of normal blood supply, will begin to die. Well, and then the wart itself falls off. Most often, this happens within a week, but various variations are possible - from several days to several weeks, depending on the individual characteristics of your body. No pain, no discomfort - this is exactly why laser removal of warts has earned such love. True, there is one drawback - the rather high cost of the procedure.
