What is the most effective method of treatment for plantars warts?

---

Is the compound W salicylic acid liquid or the compound W freezing application more effective?

How long does it normally take to completely remove the wart?

Do warts have roots?
you can try but Compound W work only in very rare cases! because warts always will regrow back - because warts have roots and only your immune system can destroy them! and if you are using compound w - be very very very careful because you can damage your skin badly and even leave a scar!

if you really want to get rid of warts forever then you should know that you can remove warts by surgery, freezing, laser, acid or with cream but warts can reappear again and again because warts appears when your immune system is weak! so you must build up your immune system because your body can get rid of warts by itself if your immune system will be strong! so eat more healthy food, more vitamins and more sport activities!
(No smoking, no beer/ale, no booze, no drugs, no junk food, no fast food garbage, no sugary sweet soda's. Get on a good, balanced, healthy diet including plenty of boiled or steamed vegetables. Drink P L E N T Y O F W A T E R , fruit juices & fat free milk. Snack on lots of RAW fruit & veggies. Get up one hour early every morning & take a BRISK 30 minute walk - then - do the same thing again in the evening after dinner. Make sure you eat a good, balanced breakfast daily. You get your energy for the day from your breakfast meal. Get 8 hours sleep each night. Flip your mattress over so it will level out to give you a good night's rest. Slack off too much coffee & tea.)

HPV is the virus that causes warts. And HPV virus has many strains. In your case you have HPV virus strain number 2. People can be infected with HPV and never show any symptoms. Others will develop warts. These warts can stay the same size, grow, or go away on their own. It depends on the infected person's immune system. A healthy immune system means your body may be able to suppress the virus and not show symptoms.

also you must use herbal treatment because you can not always live 100% healthy...!!!

in that case Wartrol is really good (probably the best) product that gets rid of warts comparatively fast and makes you feel more confident knowing that they wont reappear again! it says that it is designed for Genital Warts but
it does not matter because warts are warts and wartrol works by stimulating your immune system to fight the HPV virus that causes the warts. of course it is better if you use full course (5 months - if I remember correctly).

It worked very fast and still works for me because I do not have wart outbreaks anymore!


I do not know if any pharmacies carry Wartrol but I do know that you should purchase it directly from the manufacturer and read more about the product here http://www.wartrol.com/?aid=221781

The advantage of Wartrol over other natural treatments for warts is that, since it is taken orally, it can also act on invisible warts that can't be treated by other creams and natural remedies.

good luck!

What is an easy way to get rid warts without going to a doctor?

---

I have 9 warts (6 on my hands, on on my arm, and one on my foot) that are very embarrassing considering the work that I do as a waiter. Dose anyone know a way to get rid of them without going to a doctor, and that WORKS. I've had them for a few years.
I don't know if it'll work for warts but this works for moles...tie tiny dental floss or suture to it to cut off the blood supply. It will fall off in 2 or 3 days.  (+ info)

How do I get rid of big warts on an elbow that won't go away?

---

My husband has these two warts on his elbow that keep reappearing. He has used the Dr Scholl's treatments (the liquid, the medicated discs, the freezing solution) and they worked once, where the whole wart came off (it kind of had a cone shape to the end to it). But now they are back and won't budge.

He's gone to the doctor's and had them freeze it a few times. It did nothing. He's told to come back every two weeks to refreeze it. It's such a hassle! Is there anything that can be done at home to get rid of pestering warts?
If you read on, it says that we have already tried store treatments and seeing a doctor. Lighter idea is interesting!
Plantar warts are viruses. But I know you know that by now. Thing about warts, like any virus is that they have the ability to survive many assaults, including freezing.

Unfortunately, the freezing method is probably best, but like any wart, salicytic acid (basically aspirin or wart remover medications) will work too. Warts also need oxygen to survive. So here is my recommendation. (by the way, it worked on the 20 or so warts my nephew had on his feet too).

1. Continue freezing as needed.
2. Add the wart remover medication to the site afterward.
3. Cover with Duck Tape.

Now I know that sounds crazy, but it has been proven that duck tape will kill warts. The secret is...that you can't remove the tape but once a week or so. (or if it happens to fall off, then immediately replace). But the duck tape on...and shower with it...keep it on no matter how ridiculous it seems. Then after a week, pull off and replace again. Repeat this process until the wart and the ugly white spot it leaves are gone. After about 3 weeks it will be gone. Probably before.

Just remember viruses are strong. You just have to be stronger.
By the way, many doctors advocate duck tape too. Just usually you do it to the feet. Should go faster on the elbow. The skin is thick...so it takes more effort than the fingers lets say.

Good luck and let me know how it goes.  (+ info)

How long does it take to treat genital warts?

---

I have an appointment for the wellwoman clinic on friday to be officially diagnosed with what i know is genital warts, has anyone been through treatment? How was it? I assume they will use chryotherapy, how long does it take to get rid of them and have healed skin again? How bad is the treatment - how painful on the inner genital tissue? Can they just cut off some on the outer skin around the thighs? Please give your experience and the time ot took to heal.
Cytodestructive therapies

Podophyllotoxin (podofilox) and podophyllin — We suggest podophyllotoxin (podofilox) for initial therapy of external genital warts, as long as the patient can comply with home therapy. Podophyllotoxin (podofilox) has negligible systemic absorption/toxicity, can be self-administered, and may be more effective than podophyllin [29] . The only randomized trial comparing podophyllotoxin (podofilox) to podophyllin for treatment of warts in women reported higher clearance rates with podophyllotoxin (podofilox), 71 versus 48 percent [30] .

Neither drug should be used by pregnant women because of potential fetal risks. Podophyllotoxin (podofilox) — Podophyllotoxin (podofilox) contains the biologically active compound from podophyllin. Using a cotton swab, the patient applies a 0.5 percent gel or solution to external genital warts twice daily for three consecutive days [5,31] . She then withholds treatment for four days, and repeats this cycle weekly up to four times. Large areas (10 cm2 or more) should not be treated in a single application because of pain is likely when the area becomes necrotic. Podophyllin — Podophyllin is a plant-based resin that blocks cell division at metaphase and leads to cell death. The clinician applies a 10 to 25 percent solution directly to the warts with a cotton swab (or similar device). No more than 0.5 mL should be applied during each treatment session and large areas (10 cm2 or more) should not be treated in a single application because of potential pain when the area becomes necrotic. In contrast to podophyllotoxin, systemic absorption and toxicity have been documented; therefore, podophyllin should not be applied to open wounds or friable tissue. A weaker solution (10 percent) should be used when treating large warts or warts on mucosal surfaces to minimize total systemic absorption.
We instruct the patient to wash the area one to four hours after application of the drug, otherwise excessive skin irritation and systemic absorption can occur. The treatment is repeated weekly for four to six weeks, or until the lesions have cleared. Adverse effects range from mild skin irritation to ulceration and pain, depending upon the concentration used and the length of time it is left on the skin.
Trichloroacetic acid and bichloroacetic acid — Both trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and bichloroacetic acid (BCA) are caustic acids that destroy the wart tissue via chemical coagulation of tissue proteins. TCA is used most commonly, and must be applied by a health care provider. It can be used on the cervix and vagina, and during pregnancy.

An 80 to 90 percent TCA solution is applied sparingly to the wart tissue with a cotton swab; the wart turns white as the solution dries. Application of an ointment or gel (such as petroleum or lidocaine jelly) to the normal tissue surrounding the wart can help prevent spreading of acid to unaffected areas. Excessive application of medication can be neutralized by washing with soap or sodium bicarbonate solution, otherwise the patient may experience pain or burning of adjacent healthy tissue.
Repeated weekly application is required for four to six weeks, or until the lesions have cleared. Thick, large lesions may not respond because the acid may not penetrate to treat the entire lesion. The only trial that evaluated use of TCA in women reported a 70 percent clearance rate [32] .
5-Fluorouracil — 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is a pyrimidine antimetabolite that interferes with DNA synthesis by blocking methylation of deoxyuridylic acid, leading to cell death. The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved any formulation of 5-FU for treatment of anogenital warts and its use is contraindicated in pregnancy.
A gel consisting of 5-fluorouracil and epinephrine in a purified bovine collage matrix is under investigation. The gel is injected intradermally directly under the wart to create a wheal encompassing it and 5 mm of surrounding tissue. This provides a high concentration of drug for an extended period of time. Injections are performed once per week for up to six weeks. Clearance rates of 65 percent after a median of four treatments have been reported, but 40 percent of patients with a complete response had a recurrence at 90 days follow-up [33] . Side effects include local pain, erosion, ulceration, and urethro-vulvo-vaginitis.
Alternatively, a thin layer of 1 or 5 percent cream has been applied to vulvar or vaginal lesions to cause a chemical desquamation [26,34-38] . Several dosing protocols have been suggested, ranging from twice daily application to once weekly for several weeks. Zinc oxide cream or petroleum jelly can be applied to unaffected areas as a barrier to help protect against ulceration. A disadvantage of topical 5-FU is that it is often poorly tolerated because of burning, pain, inflammation, edema, or painful ulcerations. For this reason, topical 5-FU has a limited role in the primary therapy of v  (+ info)

What is the most effective way to get rid of plantar warts?

I have two plantar warts on my feet which come back repeatedly whenever i get them cut off. Does the duct tape method work? Should I use Salicylic acid? How long will it take if the warts are small? Can they spread by contact?

Can Genital Warts be Transferred to Hands After Fingering a Girl?

---

I have fingered my girlfriend many times, but lately there have been warts appearing on my hands. Even wierder, the warts are appearing on the fingers that i use to finger my girlfriend. Could this mean that my girlfriend has genital warts?
It is very likely that it could happen since the bacteria needed to spread the STD can be transferred from Vagina to Hand and then Hand to Penis.

So there is a chance that you could have gotten a STD through this.

You should get yourself checked out for any STD's; GOOD LUCK

Yours

can you see the the difference between genital warts and a yeast infection?

---

the different symptoms. how can you tell the different symptoms.
i kno a yeast infection is itchy, and irrtation.
and warts is itchy irritating and white spots.
but i seem to think a yeast infection has a little of white spots also. which makes it llok like a yeast infection.
A yeast infection has a white discharge, not white spots.

warts are going to be present on the skin on and around your vulva, and they may not be obvious to you. A yeast infection is internal, with a white discharge, and sometimes itching or burning in your vagina, and around your labia. They are two completely different problems with different symptoms. It can also be likely that you don't feel or see warts.  (+ info)

What are the fastest way to treat genital warts?

---

I am diagnosed with genital warts but I am wondering what is like the fastest treatment?

I am using Aldara cream right now, and so far it's been a week. I am just worried it's not working. There is no sign at all.
Have them freezed off by a doctor who honestly isn't trying not to hurt you. I have tried that cream and it was awful I found, and my normal doctor was being too nice when it came to freezing them and basically not doing it enough to get rid of them. So i went to another doctor and yeah that cleared it up real quick!!!  (+ info)

What are my odds of getting genital warts?

---

My girlfriend has a strain of HPV and had warts removed a few years ago. I have always used a condom with her, but I would ideally like her to go on birth control so I don't have to use one. If there are no warts present, can I get genital warts if I don't use a condom?
Yes you can. But there's medication she can take to reduce the chances of spreading it to you. Good luck!  (+ info)
