Warts – Homeopathic Treatment
Warts are small, noncancerous skin growths caused by infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV). The virus leads to rapid skin cell growth, forming a thick, hard bump on the surface. Warts can appear anywhere on the body.
People with chronic skin conditions (like eczema), those who bite nails, or individuals who pick at hangnails are more prone to developing warts.
Recommended Treatment Duration: 6 Months – 1 Year
Duration varies case-to-case. In some patients it may take longer or even less time. Gradual improvement in discomfort, irritation, and wart size is expected. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation fades slowly.
Diagnosis
- Clinical examination of the wart
- Scraping to identify tiny black dots (clotted blood vessels)
- Shave biopsy (in unclear presentations)
Symptoms
- Unwanted skin growths of varying shape and size
- Sometimes associated with mild itching or bleeding
- Usually painless except when located on pressure areas
Types of Warts
1. Common Warts
Flesh-colored, rough bumps found on hands, fingers, around nails, and feet. Often appear where skin is broken.
2. Plantar Warts
Appear on the soles of the feet. Pressure from standing or walking makes them grow inward. Can resemble calluses but have black pinpoint dots on the surface.
3. Flat Warts
Smaller, smoother warts appearing in large numbers (10–100). Common on children's faces, men’s beard area, and women's legs.
4. Filiform Warts
Fast-growing, thread-like or spiky growths. Typically seen around the mouth, eyes, and nose.
5. Genital Warts
Spread through sexual contact. Can appear as small, scattered skin-colored bumps or clusters resembling tiny florets. They are contagious and can spread.
