Don't ignore warts appearing on your skin; they could be a virus. Learn the expert's opinion
Nowadays, due to changing lifestyle, increasing pollution and weak immunity, skin related problems are increasing rapidly. One of these problems is warts, which initially appear like small and normal pimples, but with time they start affecting the beauty of the face, neck, hands or feet. Many people ignore them considering them minor, while some people start adopting various home remedies to remove them. However, experts say that warts are not just a common skin problem, but can also be a sign of viral infection.
Using the wrong methods can worsen this problem. Therefore, it's important to recognize the early signs of warts early and seek appropriate treatment so that the problem can be controlled before it worsens.
Why do warts occur?
According to doctors, warts are primarily caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). This virus can enter the body through contact with an infected person, sharing their items, or through small cuts on the skin.
This problem is more common in people with weakened immunity. Sometimes warts disappear on their own, but in some cases, they can grow rapidly and spread to other parts of the body.
Using someone else's towel can be costly.
Speaking to Local 18, Dr. Rajita, a homeopathic doctor at Ambala City Civil Hospital, explained that warts can be caused by both skin allergies and infections. She explained that many people unknowingly use other people's towels or personal items, which increases the risk of spreading the virus.
In such a situation, cleanliness and not sharing personal things is considered very important.
How to recognize the early signs of warts?
According to experts, moles aren't difficult to identify. The most common symptom is the appearance of small, raised, and rough bumps on the skin.
They can be light brown, pink, white, or skin-like. Sometimes, they may also have small black dots. Some people may experience itching, burning, or slight bleeding.
Using home remedies without advice can be harmful.
Many people resort to lime, harsh chemicals, or home remedies to remove warts. However, doctors say these methods can sometimes prove dangerous.
This increases the risk of wounds and infections, especially in diabetic patients. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid using anything without consulting a doctor.
Treatment options are also available in homeopathy.
According to Dr. Rajita, in homeopathy, medicines like Thuja Occidentalis, Causticum, Antimonium Crudum and Nitric Acid are used to treat warts.
These medications are prescribed based on the condition and symptoms of the warts. Experts say that homeopathy not only provides external treatment, but also focuses on strengthening the body's immune system.
When is it necessary to see a doctor immediately?
If warts cause pain, bleeding, or rapidly spreading, you should immediately consult a doctor. Sometimes people ignore them, thinking they are normal, which can worsen the problem.
Experts believe that with timely treatment and proper care, the problem of warts can be easily controlled.
