Cure For Warts

Many times warts will clear up without any treatment, however they can also last for years.

Treatments for warts include:

• Duct Tape - This method has worked for many people and is quite simple to do. A piece of duct tape is placed over the wart and left for 6 days. After removal of the tape, the wart should be soaked in warm water for about 5 minutes. Then the dead tissue is gently removed with a pumice stone or emery board. You should then leave the duct tape off overnight and replace the next day. Continue until wart is gone.
  
• Salicylic Acid - This is found in most gels and creams that you can buy over the counter.
• Cryotherapy - Liquid nitrogen is applied by your doctor to the wart to freeze it and destroy the cells.
• Laser Treatment - A laser beam is used to destroy the wart.
• Electrocautery - An electric current is used to burn the wart off.
• Photodynamic Therapy - A chemical is applied to the wart and is absorbed. This chemical is then activated by light to destroy the cells of the wart.
• Chemical Treatments - Formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde and podophyllin can be used by prescription only.
• Cantharidin - This substance is extracted from a blister beetle and is mixed with other chemicals. This has to be applied by your doctor and will result in a blister that will lift off the wart. Your doctor will then remove the dead part of the wart.
• Natural Treatment - Another method that has had great results is an all natural treatment that requires no surgery, freezing or prescriptions. For more information about removing warts naturally visit Moles, Warts and Skin Tag Removal.
