What is Warts?
Warts, otherwise known as verruca or Condylomata, are locally occurring benign growths on the skin that are most commonly caused by Human Papilloma Virus. The virus enters through injuries like cuts and bruises and they multiply rapidly and form blister-like formations on the skin, called warts. Common warts do not cause pain or discomfort unless they are situated in areas that are being constantly irritated.
Homeopathy has been successful in getting rid of existing warts, preventing the formation of new ones and reducing the skin’s tendency of forming new ones. Medicines can be taken orally and there is little or no local application. The treatment is from within and is permanent. The duration for which the treatment is taken varies from patient to patient, the severity of warts and their chronicity.
Do or Don’t
There are many medications in homeopathy for the treatment of warts and they are essentially harmless and can be continued for longer durations of time depending on how long the wart formations have been there. Do not touch warts on yourself or others, never pick or scratch a wart and wash hands frequently. Never burn or cut a wart yourself. If you or your partner has genital warts, refrain from sexual activities, and consult a doctor.
