How do dermatologists treat warts?

Warts usually disappear without treatment. This is particularly in the case of children who develop warts. Warts in adults may not go away as quickly or in the same speed as they occur in children. While most warts aren't harmful dermatologists can treat them.

A dermatologist should be consulted If you are unable to get rid of warts, warts are painful, or if there are a lot of warts. Dermatologists can offer many treatment options for warts. The type of treatment is determined by the patient's age and overall health and the kind of wart.

A dermatologist could employ one of these treatments:

• cantharidin Dermatologists can treat warts at the workplace through "painting" it with cantharidin. Cantharidin creates a blister that can appear underneath the wart. Within a week or two after which you will be able to return to the clinic and have the dermatologist trim off the wart that has died.

• Cryosurgery Common warts that occur for adults and children cryosurgery (freezing) is the most popular treatment. The treatment isn't very painful. It may result in dark spots on people with dark skin. It is normal to need regular treatments.

• Electrosurgery and custtage:Electrosurgery (burning) burns an effective treatment for common warts and filiform warts and warts on the feet. Curettage is the process of scraping away (curetting) the wart using the sharp edge of a knife or spoon-shaped, small tool. The two methods are typically employed in tandem. The dermatologist could remove the wart using scraping it away prior to or following electrosurgery.

• ExcisionThe Doctor may remove any wart (excision).

If the warts are difficult to treat dermatologists may recommend one of these treatments:

• Laser therapy: Laser treatment is an option that is mainly used for warts which have not been treated with other treatments. Before treatment with laser the dermatologist might reduce the size of the wart using an injection of anesthetic (shot).

• Peels that contain chemical ingredients:When the appearance of flatwarts it is usually accompanied by many warts. Since so many warts show up and dermatologists frequently prescribe "peeling" methods to treat warts. That means you'll apply a peeling treatment at home each day. Peeling medications consist of salicylic acids (stronger than the one you purchase at a store) Tretinoin, tretinoin, as well as glycolic acid.

• BleomycinThe dermatologist can inject each wart with an anticancer medication, called bleomycin. The shots could cause discomfort. They may also have adverse effects, for example nail loss when administered to the fingers.

• I mmunotherapy: This treatment uses the body's immunity system in order to combat warts. It is employed to treat warts that persist even after other treatments. The most common form of immunotherapy is applying chemicals, such as diphencyprone (DCP) on the warts. An allergic reaction may occur within the warts that have been treated. The reaction could cause the warts to disappear away.Another form of immunotherapy involves receiving doses of interferon. These shots may increase the immune system of the body which provides the body with its ability to battle virus.

Outcome

The cure is not available for wart virus. The warts may come back at the same spot or be found in a different site.

Sometimes, it appears that new warts are appearing just as quickly as the old ones disappear. This is due to the fact that warts that were previously there shed virus cells to the skin prior to the time that they are removed. The result is that new warts can develop around the warts that were treated. The best method to avoid this is to visit your dermatologist treat any new warts when they first appear.

HOW TO HEAL WARTS MORE QUICKLY AND PREVENT NEW ONES

If you or a member of your family develops warts and you want to help the wart to disappear faster and stop new warts from becoming. Here's what dermatologists who are board certified recommend.

Two suggestions for healing warts faster

1. The wart should be treated. When someone has an immune system that is healthy, the wart is likely to disappear by itself. It can take a long period of time, but. As time passes the virus that causes warts may get into other parts of the body. This can lead to a rise in warts.
   
   Treatment may help make a wart to heal faster. Warts in Perth can be treated with effective treatment without prescription.
   
   In the case of treating a wart dermatologists suggest that you:

   • Make sure to cover the wart. This helps prevent the spread of the virus to other areas of the body, as well as to others.
   • Cleanse your hands immediately when you touch the area of wart. This also helps to stop the spread of it to different areas of the body as well as to others.

2. Do not shave over warts. When you shave your skin, you cause microtears to form in your skin. If you cut your hair over warts, you'll get microtears within your wart and the skin you shave.
   
   With these microtears you are able to transfer this virus which causes warts, which can spread from the wart to any skin area you shaving. For instance, a male may develop new warts in the beard area when you shave over a wart before he cuts his face. When a woman is shaving over an existing wart before shaving the legs of her partner, they might develop a number of leg warts.
   
   If you remove an open wart and then trim the pubic hair, you may develop warts around the pubic region.

Nine Steps to Take to Stop Warts From Occurring.

The virus that causes warts, called human papillomavirus (HPV) can easily spread from person to person and is everywhere. Because of this, it's not easy to eliminate warts completely.

If you take a few precautions that you take, you will reduce the likelihood of your family members and yourself being afflicted with warts. For fewer warts, you'll want to make sure everyone in your home follows these dermatologist-recommended precautions:

1. Be careful not to touch someone's wart. HPV is contagious. It is likely that the virus will spread into your body via scratches or cuts, which could cause an outbreak of warts.

2. Be sure that every person at home is equipped with their own towels and washcloths, razors, socks, nail clippers and other items that are personal to them. If someone in your home is suffering from a wart will help to stop the virus that causes warts to spread from one individual the next.

3. Cleanse and cover cuts or scrapes. HPV is everywhere. If you come into contact with something that is affected by HPV it's much more likely for HPV to spread in your body through the scrape or cut which can lead to an infection called a wart.

4. Cleanse your hands frequently. Because HPV is so widespread, this helps in removing HPV from the skin.

5. Keep your skin dry and damaged and cracked skin. When skin is dry and cracked it's more likely for HPV to enter through the skin crack which can result in warts.

6. Stop the habit of chewing your nails and cuticles. When you bite your cuticles or nails it can cause sores and tears on the skin which aren't noticeable. These pores allow HPV to enter the body.

7. Wear flip-flops, or even pool shoes in the locker rooms, pools and public showers. HPV thrives in humid, warm areas. When your skin is wet and itchy, you're more likely to be infected by HPV. Flip-flops and shoes will protect your feet from infection and can help prevent plantar warts that appear on your feet.

8. Make sure that your children receive an HPV vaccination. This vaccine helps prevent genital warts from developing and various cancers that can be able to develop in the genital region. The vaccine is most effective when it is administered prior to exposure to the forms of HPV which can trigger the development of genital warts and cancers. This is the reason why Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the vaccine for children.

9. treat hyperhidrosis. This is a medical disorder that causes people to sweat a lot. Hyperhidrosis sufferers often sweat even when other people are relaxed or cool. If people are frequently sweating their skin gets wet and soft. Being prone to dry, soft skin could increase the chance of developing HPV disease, and may cause warts.
