It is true that there are many wart removers available on the market, and they can be very impressive in terms of the results that they provide. However there is no reason why alternative and home remedies cannot be equally effective and they may even rival the results that you can get via clinical means.
Many of the methods used in remedies for warts involve placing some kind of substance on the wart to cause a reaction that will eventually result in it falling off. There is a wide range of different items used for this very purpose, ranging from citrus fruit peelings to over-the-counter solutions. These remedies for warts can be remarkably effective for minor case of warts, or when they haven't been present on the skin for that long. We'll go into those other wart removers later on but for now, here are the steps to a safe and effective wart removal process that has been handed down from generation to generation.
Here are the items you will need for this procedure:
some ice
a needle
alcohol or a sterilizing solution
antibacterial solution
bandage
cotton
Before you start, it is absolutely imperative that you keep the affected area clean throughout the procedure. You should also make sure that to sterilize everything that will come in contact with the wart. There may also be some bleeding, so keep the cotton close by!
First, clean the area around the wart thoroughly with some alcohol. Use only alcohol that has at least 70% concentration for this purpose as this is the only thing that can properly sterilize the skin.
After you have cleaned the site, apply some ice to the wart for several minutes. Make sure that it its thoroughly numb before you proceed to the next step. You then take the needle-which should have been sterilize thoroughly beforehand-and prick the wart at several spots. This effective introduces the virus to your autoimmune system by way of the bloodstream. The wart is then seen as an invader, and the autoimmune system unleashes hordes of antibodies to the site. This effective gets rid of the with regard to that you pricked as well as any other warts elsewhere on your body.
Some oral medications can be used as remedies for warts as well, although for this purpose, they are usually applied topically. Vitamin C pills and aspirin can be used for treatment, which basically involves crushing the pills and making a paste out of them, which is what you then apply onto the skin. Vitamin E typically comes in liquid form, and it is this liquid that you spread onto the site of infection.
Don't neglect the benefit of a hot bath as well. You don't have to get it boiling hot as to cause scalding, but you definitely want it on the steamy side. This is one of the simplest and yet most effective remedies for warts and is best suited for softening plantar warts.
