Warts (Viral HPV Infections)
A proper approach exists to safely remove resistant warts.
Warts exist as a result of human papillomavirus (HPV) which produces tiny rough skin growths. These small growths cause no significant damage yet spread easily between people and create unpleasantness along with unappealing outcomes. These growths can appear anywhere on the body but they primarily appear on the face and hands and feet and genitals. Warts tend to occur specifically in certain body regions because particular HPV strains can transmit through contact or surface contamination.
The team at Rasa Derm delivers safe wart removal solutions using medical-grade technology and dermatological precision to provide personalized wart treatments which produce minimal recurrence and enduring results.
Warts form when HPV penetrates skin through tiny cuts or abrasions and causes excessive skin cell production. The immune system normally controls the virus yet it manages to survive in specific people who are either young or have weak immune systems.
Wart Types
The type of wart determines the best available treatment option.
- Common warts present as rough elevated bumps mainly found on hands and fingers.
- The bottom surface of feet develops plantar warts that generate pain during walking.
- Flat warts are smooth, marginally elevated lesions that typically develop on the legs or face.
- Long, narrow growths called filiform warts typically appear on the face or neck.
- Genital warts require specific medical treatment because they transmit through sexual contact.
- Periungual warts develop around fingernails and toenails but generally do not respond to treatment.
The Spread Of Warts
Warts transmit through their high contagious nature in the following ways:
- Contact between the skin.
- Sharing personal belongings (shoes, towels, and razors).
- Going barefoot in public swimming pools or showers.
- When you touch or scratch a wart you risk moving the infection to neighbouring skin tissue.
Measures To Avoid Warts
- Your hands should avoid touching the warts of other people.
- Avoid touching or scratching existing warts.
- The survival of HPV on skin surfaces decreases when you maintain dryness of your hands and feet.
- Wearing shoes in public places such as swimming pools and locker rooms should be mandatory.
- Don’t share shoes, socks, or towels.
- Improve your immune system by resting enough while consuming adequate water and maintaining proper nutrition.
At Rasa Derm we develop individualized treatment plans which consider wart type, location and recurrence patterns for each patient. Our mission includes wart removal with the goal of lowering viral levels while stopping future outbreaks from happening.
