Get Rid Of Warts Naturally with Homeopathic Medcines

Warts (also known as Verruca Vulgaris), are typical skin growths that appear on the surface of the skin in the form of small, rough, hard bumps. These can occur anywhere on the body, but common sites of their appearance are the hands and feet. These usually have the same color as that of one’s skin. Being generally painless, these cause no problems, except for cosmetic concerns. These are non-cancerous, benign growths and are usually self-limiting. Homeopathy medicine for warts helps avoid the recurrence of the condition. The top medicines used for the treatment of warts are Thuja Occidentalis, Causticum and Nitric Acid.

Warts appear most commonly during childhood, and typically become visible and slowly minimize within a few weeks to a few months. In a few cases, these may take years to disappear. Warts are very common and can infect anyone at some point in their lives.

In most cases, warts are resolved by application of corrosive acids or in severe cases, by surgery. But both these treatments tend to cause extreme side effects and leave scars.

Causes of Warts

Warts occur when the human papillomavirus infects a person. The virus enters the body if there is any slight damage present in the skin. Human papillomavirus (HPV) affects the skin cells of an individual. The rapid growth of cells that occurs on the outer layer of the skin results in the appearance of warts.

Warts usually contain tissues that bleed easily. The bleeding of this tissue allows the infection to spread further.

Different strains of HPV can lead to the development of warts on specific parts of the body. Some of these strains are highly contagious and spread easily from skin-to-skin contact.

Certain factors can increase the risk of getting an infection, and these include the use of public showers, multiple sexual partners, smoking, and autoimmune disorders that weaken the immune system.

Symptoms of Warts

Symptoms of warts can vary from mild to moderate or can be severe, depending upon the strain that has infected the individual’s body.
Warts are usually painless but may cause pain when touched. These generally appear either in single numbers or multiple growths (known as crops).
Warts can be the same color as that of the skin or be darker or red. They can also differ in appearance and be rough, smooth or flat in appearance. These can produce itching, burning sensation or irritation in one’s skin. Warts also tend to ooze moisture or bleed readily.
