We are all highly aware of how our skin looks. Young individuals are particularly so. The pressure is really on for individuals to look like Hollywood stars and we are bombarded with adverts on our blemishes every day.
One of the most common skin issues is warts and luckily for sufferers, it is one of the simplest to cure. Warts can be removed by a few minutes of non-painful surgery.
The amputation of warts by surgery or by other ways like freezing may produce a small wound. If you handle this wound carefully, there is no need for it ever to be visible.
If your physician or dermatologist does not give you directions 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 probably just be about applying an antiseptic cream to prevent infection and a bandage or plaster to keep the wound clean.
However the sort of wound you have depends on the method 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 many warts, you might choose to remove them yourself by applying a wart solvent. Wart solvent should be applied 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 just on the top of the wart. The wart will appear to grow larger as it disintegrates, but this is normal. After a couple of 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 lump 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 when I was washing in the shower. There was no wound and it never came back. Not many of you will believe that that occurred, but it did.
It seems to me that the best way 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 easy to remove warts with over the counter remedies like wart solvent (or steak) if you can.
Surgery and freezing are usually reserved for very large infections of warts, but warts are contagious, so it is best to treat every wart as it appears so that you do not run the risk of 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 job, 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.
