Hello! This spring, I suddenly got warts on my arm.. Whole placer. So annoying and uncomfortable! I keep my hand in my pocket all the time. I remember when I was in school it was like this. My neighbor smeared my warts with nitric acid. But then there were deep depressions on the skin, they healed for ten years.. Don't want it anymore. Where do warts come from and what to do with them? Tell!

Irina, Moscow region - Dear Irina, warts are viral in nature. The infection can get on your hands in public transport, through handshakes with an infected person, and so on.. Especially if your immunity is weakened at this time, which often happens in early spring..

Currently, there are several different methods for removing warts.. For example, cryosurgery, laser treatment, electrocoagulation and surgical removal.

Cryodestruction Cryodestruction - cauterization of warts with liquid nitrogen. It is applied to the wart with a swab attached to a wooden stick.. Currently, special cryoapplicators are more commonly used.. After cauterization, the wart becomes dense, and after 1–1.5 hours a bubble forms in its place. After a few days, it dries up, and after 2 weeks the crust disappears.. Only a light pink spot reminds of the former wart, which eventually merges with the surrounding skin.

Electrocoagulation The wart is removed with a thin metal loop. And the high-frequency current that passes through the device disinfects and stops bleeding. The operation can be performed under local anesthesia. After electrocoagulation, a crust forms, which, in the absence of complications, disappears after a week..

Laser removal Under local anesthesia, the wart is removed with a laser. A small indentation remains at the site of the former wart, which disappears within a couple of weeks..

Surgical excision Generally, surgical removal is appropriate for larger warts.. The operation is performed under local anesthesia - the warts are removed with a scalpel. The skin is tightened with a cosmetic suture. After healing, a small scar remains.

Which of these methods to choose is up to you.. Better to consult a dermatologist.

And of course, in order to reduce the risk of “sticking any infection”, constantly monitor your health, strengthen your immune system, lead a healthy lifestyle, get enough sleep, drink more plain non-cold water (at least 1.5 liters per day), do not load the digestive system with fast food and. In the spring, take a course of multivitamins and walk more in the fresh air. Because it is in spring that we are energized for the whole year.!

Folk advice Marks on the skin after removal of warts heal well and smooth out if they are smeared in the morning and evening with olive oil. For this, it is good to use contractubex and solcoseryl ointments..
