Millions of individuals all over the world develop warts. The bottom line is that they are more of an embarrassment - a social issue - than a medical problem. Some people just put up with them and others cannot tolerate them and have to have them taken away instantly, if not sooner.

The fact is that warts are non-malignant growths. Non-malignant cancers, if you like, but the operative word is ‘non-malignant’ which is the same as ‘harmless’.

If you want to remove any warts that you have, it is not a problem. Maybe, it is easier to see warts as flowers or rather weeds growing on your skin. You can kill them. There are several ways of doing this ‘weed killing’.

You can go to a doctor or a dermatologist. This is a sure-fire way of getting rid them, but depending on where you live can be costly. Or you can attempt doing it yourself first. After all, if you do not succeed, it will not have cost you much and you can then go to a doctor later.

One of the easiest methods that I have discovered is the use of Salicylic acid. It sounds terribly dangerous and painful, but I can assure you that it is not. Salicylic acid is an ingredient of many shop-bought home remedies for getting shot of warts. Only check on the labels of wart removal products.

A few minutes after applying salisylic acid, the top of the wart will turn white. After a few days of application, the wart will look like an open cauliflower and it will reveal itself as the weed that it is. (Not really, of course). Soon thereafter, it will begin to break away - literally to fall offpiece by piece - and there will be no scar at all.

I had loads of warts as a child. Mostly on my fingers alongside my finger nails and although my mother wanted to take me to the general practitioner to have them ‘burned’ off by frost, I did not like the notion. Salicylic acid was suggested by a neighbour and there was no looking back.

However, as a foot note, I want to add one more home remedy. A few years after the trauma of having loads of warts on my hands as an infant schoolboy, I grew a wart on the tip of my nose. Needless to say, my classmates thought that hilarious and some of them tried to make my life a living hell.

An aunty of mine, Aunty Lil, came to the house one day to ‘get rid of this problem once and for all’. She took a chunk of beef steak out of her bag - it was about two ounces in weight - and she rubbed it on my nose, or on the wart on my nose anyway and then she went out into the garden.

My mother and I watched her through the widow. She carefully dug a shallow hole and laid the steak in it. Then she covered it over, tramped it down and came back inside.

‘When the meat has rotted,’ she said, ‘your wart will fall off’. Five or six days later, my wart fell off whilst I was washing and it has never reappeared - not in fifty years.

We are all highly aware of how our skin looks. Young people are especially so. The pressure is really on for people to look like Hollywood stars and we are bombarded with adverts about our blemishes every day.

One of the most common skin issues is warts and luckily for sufferers, it is one of the simplest to cure. Warts can be removed by a few minutes of non-painful surgery.

The removal of warts by surgery or by other methods like freezing might produce a small wound. If you handle this wound carefully, there is no need for it ever to be visible.

If your physician or dermatologist does not give you instructions on caring for your skin after the removal of warts, you ought to ask and follow the directions to the letter.

These directions are not likely| to be onerous to follow. They will almost certainly merely be about applying an antiseptic cream to prevent infection and a bandage or plaster to keep the wound uncontaminated.

However the type of wound you have depends on the procedure of removal that you chose. Surgery and freezing are the worst for developing wounds, but even they are pretty superficial.

If you do not have many warts, you may opt to remove them yourself by applying a wart solvent. Wart solvent ought to be put on two or three times a day and it will rot the wart away during a period of weeks.

Wart solvent normally contains salicylic acid which does not burn, although you have to be careful to put a drop only on the top of the wart. The wart will seem to grow larger as it disintegrates, but this is standard. After a few weeks it will fall off not leaving any scar or wound at all.

My aunty cured me of my warts by rubbing them with a lump of raw steak and burying the steak in the garden. She spoke a few words which I did not hear and she told me that once the steak had rotted away, my wart would disappear. She also warned me not to dig the steak up to check.

I was eight years old and the wart was very embarrassingly growing on the end of my nose. Around three weeks later, my wart fell off while I was washing in the shower. There was no wound and it never came back. Not many of you will believe that that happened, but it did.

It seems to me that the best way to avoid having to worry about caring for your skin after the removal of warts is to not use surgery at all if you can help it. It is easy to remove warts with over the counter remedies like wart solvent (or steak) if you can.

Surgery and freezing are usually reserved for very large infections of warts, but warts are contagious, so it is best to treat each wart as it shows so that you do not risk spreading the infection to other parts of your body or even to your friends and family.

Caring for your skin after the removal of warts is not an arduous task, but it can be avoided by keeping on top of your warts. As the old saying goes: ‘A Stitch In Time Saves Nine’ and so it is with caring for your skin after the removal of warts as well.

Do you have warts on your skin? If so, you are certainly not the only one. A large number of people have warts. In deed, many individuals have more than one wart. If you have a wart, are you thinking about having it removed? Although you might think that you need to have it removed, the choice is really all yours to make. In almost all cases, wart removal is not necessary.

If you have a wart or warts on your body, you probably already know what they are and how they are caused, but, I would like to say that warts are known to be caused by a strain of the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). Normally, warts are completely harmless. This is because they are ‘benign skin growths’. ‘Benign’ is a word used to mean ‘non-cancerous’. Therefore, since there is a very high probability that your wart is totally harmless, you do not have to remove it.

Although you do not need to have warts removed, you may nevertheless desire to, because, in spite of them being harmless and usually painless, there are some warts that may be painful. In most cases, the pain associated with warts depends on where they are. For instance, warts on your feet can be painful, if you are on your feet all day and warts on your hands may be painful, if you work with your hands all day. Under these circumstances, you may very well want to have your warts removed, after which you should be without pain.

You may also want to have your warts removed if they are very noticeable. Everybody knows that some warts, especially large ones, are unattractive. All right, you shouldn’t worry about what everyone else thinks, but you do have to do what is right for you. Therefore, if your warts are causing you discomfort, physically or mentally, maybe you should think about having them removed.

One should remember that warts are contagious, although it doesn’t always transpire, since some individuals are more susceptible to warts than others. However, because you do not know who those people are, you should think about having your warts removed anyway.

You may want to do this, wherever your warts are, but especially so, if the warts are on your hands, because of human contact. If you regularly mix in company, perhaps you ought to think about wart removal for their sakes, if not your own.

If you really want to have your warts removed, you have a number of choices: a] your doctor can remove your warts within a few minutes, but there is the cost of seeing a healthcare professional; b] you should be able to remove your warts yourself with over-the-counter (OTC) wart removal products, which can be purchased for a reasonable price at most department stores; c] you could try home remedies, although perhaps you ought to be caution when using them. You can find home remedies with an Internet search engine.

As previously mentioned, it is your decision whether or not you want to have your wart or warts removed. Although it may not seem like a big decision, it is really. Wart removal is not always guaranteed, your warts could return overtime and therefore, it is advised that you thoroughly weigh up all of your options before making a final decision.
