    Everything You Need to Know About Plantar Warts

    Warts are small, raised growths on the skin or mucous membranes caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). There are over 200 strains of HPV, each leading to different types of warts, which can appear on the hands, feet, or genitals. Warts are contagious and can spread through direct contact with the wart, skin, or contaminated surfaces. They can also spread from one area of the body to another. While most warts are harmless and go away on their own, they can be bothersome, painful, or unsightly. Treatment options like cryotherapy (freezing), salicylic acid, or surgical removal are available to eliminate them faster. Early treatment can help speed up healing, reduce discomfort, and prevent spreading the virus to others.

    Say Goodbye to Warts – Proven Treatments

    Warts can appear as rough, bumpy, or smooth growths in various sizes, often on the hands, feet, or genitals. Symptoms include a raised, hardened area of skin, sometimes with black dots, which are dead capillaries. One treatment option is radiofrequency, a method where high-frequency electrical currents are used to heat and remove the wart tissue. Under topical or local anesthesia, the electrical current is applied to the wart, causing it to break down and be removed. Afterward, the skin typically heals within a week. However, recurrence is common, and follow-up treatments may be necessary to ensure complete removal and prevent future growths
