What are warts?

“Warts” are a common skin infection and are contagious. The cause is that the skin is infected by the filtering virus-human papillomavirus (HPV). The virus stimulates the proliferation of epidermal cells, causing abnormal keratinocyte hyperplasia, forming small, rough and protruding granules. However, because warts are basically asymptomatic, painful or itchy, only protruding rough particles appear on the skin, which are generally not large in size, so they are not easy to be detected, so the best time to remove warts is missed.

What causes warts?

The cause of warts is caused by the filtering virus human papillomavirus (HPV) infecting the surface of the skin. Different types of HPV viruses can induce different types of warts, appearing on different parts of the skin. Although warts do not have much impact on the body or the skin, warts are highly contagious skin diseases. If they are not treated in time for skin warts when they appear, they will have a chance to spread to other parts of the skin and affect their appearance. So don’t wait to get rid of warts.

There are three common types of warts. Although the method of removing warts varies slightly according to the type of wart, it is necessary to remove warts in time. The most common are flat warts, which are flesh-colored or pink in appearance, flat in appearance and small in size, and most often appear on the face. Ordinary warts are usually yellow or brown, and they usually appear on the skin of the hands and feet. Its volume will gradually increase, but the touch is hard. Another type of wart that is often mistaken for corns is palm or plantar warts, which usually grow on the soles of the feet.

There are currently three main methods of wart removal on the market, namely cryotherapy, electrocautery treatment and carbon dioxide laser treatment to remove warts. Different skin wart treatments have different prices for wart removal.

Cryotherapy uses liquid nitrogen to freeze the warts to death. In the process of removing warts, the warts are rapidly frozen at low temperature to destroy the virus-infected skin cells and cause them to necrosis and fall off. The entire skin wart treatment process takes about 1-2 weeks. Although cryotherapy is suitable for warts of different sizes, many people do not choose this method of wart removal because it requires multiple treatments for 去疣, and there will be tingling sensations during the treatment, and there may be redness and blisters after treatment.

The other is electrocautery, in which local anesthesia is required for wart removal treatment, and then electricity is used to burn the wart tissue, and finally scraped away with a knife or surgical instrument. This wart removal method is suitable for larger warts, but it cannot completely destroy the virus, and there is a possibility of recurrence.

The last type of wart removal treatment that most people choose is carbon dioxide laser treatment. The principle of wart removal is to use CO2 Laser to generate heat, and then burn the whole wart to the root, which can reduce the risk of recurrence. It is suitable for any size, deep layer or Superficial warts.

Combining the above three methods of skin wart treatment, carbon dioxide laser treatment is more effective and has lower side effects. Therefore, in the treatment of warts, carbon dioxide laser treatment is more recommended to remove warts.
