What Are Warts? All The Facts About This Nasty Disease
Warts grow on humans and we all dislike them very much. Nobody wants to have warts because they look ugly and can be very embarrassing. But most people understand very little about warts, what causes them, where do they come from and even more
importantly, how can we get rid of them? Here are some concrete facts about warts that should help to clear up the facts surrounding this misunderstood affliction:
Warts are skin tumours but are not life threatening. They are actually very commonly occurring skin tumours that are contagious and are caused by the Human Papilloma Virus, also known as HPV. This a slow growing virus that can occur on the skin of humans and can cause these ugly growths that can slowly grow bigger over time.
Warts come in all shapes and sizes. They can be flat and irregular in shape, they can be fleshy and soft, and they can even grow into ugly cauliflower like shapes. Warts affect about 75% of people during their lifetime and most of us will remember having a wart or two when we were children or even as adults.
Warts occur most commonly in children and are most often found on the hands and face of infected individuals. They spread through touch or direct contact, but they are not highly contagious so touching someone’s wart does not imply that you will automatically get a wart too.
The most misunderstood and embarrassing warts of all are genital warts which commonly occur all around the pelvic area and are mainly spread through sexual contact with a partner who is already infected. They are caused by a different strain of the HP virus and what is not generally known is that they cannot be transmitted from your genitals to other parts of your body, like your hands or face. Similarly, warts that are found on your hands and other body areas cannot be transmitted to your genital area.
Although warts are more of a chronic health problem and not life threatening, they can be very hard to get rid of. There are many treatments for warts but most of them are only good for getting rid of the warts you can see with the naked eye. The problem often is though that many new warts can be microscopic in size and cannot be seen yet with the naked eye, so they are often missed until they grow larger. This is why people with warts have to go and have new outbreaks of lesions removed repeatedly and the only type of treatment that offers a permanent cure is a systemic treatment that works from within your
body and treats all the warts at the same time.
