Warts are a phenomenon in themselvesunpleasant. But the people who suffer the most are those who have warts on their feet. Plantar warts - that's what they're called - do not cause much inconvenience for a while and very often people do not pay any attention to them. And it's a shame, because warts tend to grow in size very quickly. And as the warts grow, a person will begin to experience pain. At first, they will be minor, and they will appear irregularly, from time to time. But with each passing day, the pain will become stronger - even walking will become a real test for a person. Therefore, if you notice the appearance of a plantar wart, take action immediately, do not wait until the situation becomes neglected. Of course, the most reasonable thing to do is to go to a dermatologist who will remove the wart itself and prescribe an antiviral treatment that suits you. Without it, warts will quickly return, because they develop due to the presence of the human papilloma virus in the body.

Garlic is one of the most powerful remedies into combat any warts, including plantar warts. There are several effective recipes, which we will tell you about now.

You can simply lubricate the skin around the wart with a thick layer of any fatty cream or sunflower oil before each procedure. Or you can use a more reliable method - an adhesive bandage. Take a small piece of adhesive tape, cut a hole in it large enough for the wart to fit through, stick it to the skin. That's it, you're done - you can apply the prepared product to the wart without fear that it will get on the skin.

If you feel a strong burning sensation, wash off the garlic immediately, and next time add a small amount of any vegetable oil to the onion gruel. After you wash off the garlic, carefully remove the protective adhesive plaster - if you leave it for several days, an allergy may develop. If you really don’t want to mess around with a protective adhesive plaster every day, then buy a special hypoallergenic plaster. After removing the garlic, be sure to rinse the wart with cool water, and lubricate the skin around it with any moisturizing cream. Repeat this procedure every day and in a week you will notice that the wart has become much smaller. And in about three weeks it will disappear completely.
- Garlic cake
In some cases, the discomfort is enoughсильный даже в том случае, если к чесночной кашице вы добавляете лук. Само собой разумеется, что в данном случае лучше всего поискать другое средство, действующее более мягко — например, чесночную лепешку. Конечно же, времени для полного избавления от бородавки вам понадобится немного больше — в среднем полтора месяца. Для приготовления лепешки приготовьте пять зубчиков чеснока, муку и воду. Чеснок очистите, измельчите, смешайте с мукой и замесите достаточно крутое тесто. Получившегося объема вам хватит на несколько дней, поэтому положите его в полиэтиленовый пакет и храните в холодильнике. Отщипните небольшой кусочек и сформируйте из него лепешку. Приложите лепешку к мозоли, сверху положите небольшую марлевую салфетку и зафиксируйте — можно при помощи бинта или лейкопластыря, а можно просто надеть тесные носки . Чесночная лепешка должна оставаться на бородавке на протяжении как минимум 6 часов, поэтому лучше всего прикладывать ее на ночь. После того как вы уберете лепешку, протрите ее яблочным уксусом и оставьте, пока он полностью не высохнет. Первые результаты вы сможете наблюдать уже через полторы-две недели.
