A wart refers to any pathology that presents itself in the form of a tumor or benign swelling of the skin. Of viral origin, it can appear on several parts of the body. It is a highly contagious pathology in which the virus responsible, the human papillomavirus, finds a favorable ground on soaked skin. Thus, there is a high risk of contagion in wet surfaces such as showers, gyms and swimming pools. As for vaginal or anal warts, they are transmitted during sexual intercourse. There is a much-criticized vaccine that works effectively against the onset of uterine cancer caused by the human papillomavirus virus. For other forms of warts, a homeopathic treatment may be recommended to get rid of them without too much difficulty.
Symptoms associated with warts
More common in people with eczema or a weak immune system, warts form from a small lesion in the skin. It is usually noticeable by small swellings of the epidermis on the face, elbow, hand, knee, genitals and foot. There are different types of warts depending on the part of the body where they appear. Thus, we speak of a plantar wart when it appears on the soles of the feet, or a common wart when it grows on the elbows and knees. This kind of wart then forms a hard bump with a fleshy color. On the scalp, warts appear in a digitate form. They are flat when they are on the face, hands and wrists. As for warts on the genital area, they can develop in women or men in the vagina, penis or anus. It should be noted that among genital warts, there is a very particular form called condyloma. It is easily transmitted through sex and can lead to cervical cancer if not detected early.
To
alleviate the pain and the removal and healing of warts, one can opt for a homeopathic treatment. For this purpose, and in general, reference is made to two remedies: Antimonium Crudum 7 CH and Nitricum Acidum 7 CH. The dosage is to take 5 granules, 2 times a day and for 2 months. This treatment can be combined with Thuja Occidentalis 9 CH which is applied topically to the infection. But depending on the specificity of each wart, the homeopath or pharmacist is very well placed to offer appropriate products for an effective treatment. The results can be assessed at the end of the first month of treatment.
When to see a doctor?
Although it seems commonplace, especially in the case of painless swelling, warts are sometimes complicated to treat. Unless you know the appropriate treatment, it is advisable to see a doctor very early, especially in the case of genital warts. As a general rule, any painful and persistent warts after two to three weeks of treatment at home should be treated by a specialist. Faced with certain complications of the wart, only a surgical operation can treat it. Even if it is a painful solution related to the tearing of the parts of the skin, it remains the ultimate solution.
