Caring For Your Skin After The Removal Of Warts We are all highly aware of how our skin looks. Young people are particularly so. The pressure is definitely on for people to look like Hollywood stars and we are bombarded with commercials on our blemishes every day. One of the most common skin problems is warts and fortunately for sufferers, it is one of the easiest to cure. Warts can be removed by a few minutes of non-painful surgery. The amputation of warts by surgery or by other methods like freezing might produce a small wound. If you treat this wound carefully, there is no requirement for it ever to be visible. If your doctor or dermatologist does not give you instructions on caring for your skin after the removal of warts, you ought to ask and follow the directions to the letter. These instructions are not likely| to be onerous to follow. They will almost certainly just concern applying an antiseptic cream to prevent infection and a bandage or plaster to keep the wound uncontaminated. However the sort of wound you have depends on the course of action of removal that you chose. Surgery and freezing are the worst for developing wounds, but even they are fairly superficial. If you do not have a lot of warts, you might opt to remove them yourself by applying a wart solvent. Wart solvent ought to be put on two or three times a day and it will rot the wart away over a period of weeks. Wart solvent usually contains salicylic acid which does not burn, although you have to be careful to put a drop only on the top of the wart. The wart will appear to grow larger as it disintegrates, but this is standard. After a few weeks it will fall off not leaving any scar or wound at all. My aunty cured me of my warts by rubbing them with a piece of raw steak and burying the steak in the garden. She spoke a few words which I did not hear and she told me that once the steak had rotted away, my wart would go. She also warned me not to dig the steak up to check. I was eight years old and the wart was very embarrassingly growing on the end of my nose. Around three weeks later, my wart fell off while I was washing in the shower. There was no wound and it never returned. Not many of you will believe that that happened, but it did. It appears to me that the best method to avoid having to worry about caring for your skin after the removal of warts is to not use surgery at all if you can help it. It is simple to remove warts with over the counter cures like wart solvent (or steak) if you can. Surgery and freezing are normally reserved for very large infections of warts, but warts are contagious, so it is best to treat each wart as it appears so that you do not
risk spreading the infection to other parts of your body or even to your friends and family. Caring for your skin after the removal of warts is not an arduous task, but it can be avoided by keeping on top of your warts. As the old saying goes: 'A Stitch In Time Saves Nine' and so it is with caring for your skin after the removal of warts as well. Are you concerned about skin care after wart removal?
