TALKING ABOUT WARTS
Warts are caused by a virus which enters the skin cells and takes them over. The skin is forced to grow in the interests of the wart virus and not the rest of the body. Over 20 different species of human wart virus have been isolated and there is no guaranteed way of eradicating any of them.
The vast majority of warts resolves as the body’s immune system gets on top of them, however the time taken may vary from a few months to a few years. Since there is no drug known to be effective against the wart viruses, wart cures abound and treatments are many and various.
The common underlying denominator of all successful wart cures is that they stimulate the immune system to kill the wart virus. Curette and diathermy at the doctors surgery is more successful than not; although most doctors and patients prefer the use of a liquid nitrogen spray.
Home Remedies
