Over The Counter Wart Removal
Do you suffer from warts? If so, you are not alone. A large number of Americans have warts, somewhere on their body. Although the word suffer was used, most individuals do not suffer from having warts. In most cases, warts are harmless, although they can sometimes be painful. For that reason, you may be interested in having your warts removed.
When it comes to having your warts removed, what method do you plan on using? If you are like many other Americans, there is a good chance that you would respond with an over-the-counter product. Over-the-counter wart products are a popular choice for those looking to easily and safely remove their own warts. Although most over-the-counter wart removers are considered safe, you are advised to be careful when using them. This often involves reading the product description, as well as all product directions.
Over-the-counter wart removal products are no different than any other product that comes with directions. Unfortunately, not everyone makes the decision to read them. Depending on the type of wart removal product you have, it should only take you a few minutes to thoroughly read through the product description or product directions. The problem is that most individuals think they know the gist of the product that they purchased. Even if you think you know what to do, you are advised to take the time to read the directions. As mentioned above, this should only take a few minutes.
One of the most popular types of over-the-counter wart removal products are freeze-off medications. Freeze-off medications are similar to the medications that are used at the doctor’s. Not only do you need to read the directions to know what to do, but you also need to know what not to do. Although you may not necessarily think about it, knowing what not to do is just as important, if not more important, than knowing what to do.
One of the reasons why you need to know as much as you can about your wart removal product is because of the consequences. For instance, do you know what could happen if you accidentally use the freeze-off formula on something other than a wart? Your skin could burn or scar. That is why many products advised against use if you cannot see the wart in question. There are also warnings, on many freeze-away products that caution certain people from using them. These individuals tend to be those with high blood pressure, diabetes, children, or those who are pregnant or nursing. The product description, which is typically found on the outside of the box, may not have these warnings, but the paperwork inside should.
It is also important to read the directions of all over-the-counter wart removal products, including those that freeze off the wart, because the process may not work right away. Not all over-the-counter wart removers work after one treatment; however, many believe that they do. In fact, there are many individuals who give up after the first try. Those individuals are likely ones that did not take the time to thoroughly examine the product. You will find, depending on the particular medication in question, that you may be required to continue treatment for up to a week, or even longer. You will only know this by reading product descriptions or directions.
When using an over-the-counter wart remover, you are advised to be on the lookout for anything out of the ordinary. If you experience persistent pain, especially after the first treatment has been completed, or if you develop an allergic reaction, you may want to seek medical assistance. This is important because if left untreated, you may develop an infection or other serious health complications; therefore, when in doubt, ask for help.
When reading this article, there is a good chance that you may not have actually learned anything new. Most individuals know and understand the importance of reading all directions, especially on medications; however, sometimes we just need to be reminded.

The Most Common Types of Warts
In America, a fairly large number of men, women, and children have warts. Despite being harmless and common, there are many who wish to have those warts removed. However, before doing that there are very few who actually take the time to examine and learn about the types of warts they have. While it may not change your decision, it may still be a good idea to familiarize yourself with some of the most common types of warts. There is a good chance that one of them may be the kind of warts that you have.
As previously mentioned warts are common, among individuals of all ages. Perhaps, that is why a number of warts are referred to as common warts. Common warts are warts that typically appear on the hands and the fingers. They are rarely found alone; common warts tend to be in groups or in clusters. Like many other types of warts, these warts are often hard or have a rough or scratchy surface. One of the reasons why they are commonly found on the hands is because these warts tend to appear where there is broken skin. This broken skin is often common on the fingers, especially when nail biting is a habit.
Also, plain warts or flat warts are another common type of wart. They, like many other wart types, are often found on individuals of all ages, which include men, women, children, and the elderly. Plain or flat warts tend to grow in large groups; however, unlike many other warts, they are not rough or hard to the touch. Instead, many appear as if they are relatively soft. It is not uncommon for shaving to be associated with flat or plain warts.
Planter warts are also another common type of wart. They are also found on individuals of all different ages. While warts can appear on just about any part of the body, planter warts are more common on the feet. Their location is what causes some planter warts to be unpleasant and painful. A planter wart can appear as a single wart, but it is not uncommon to also find them in groups. What is unique about these warts is how they grow. Most warts grow outwards; however, planter warts, most likely because of their location, tend to grow inwards.
Although the above mentioned warts are the most common “traditional,” types of warts, there is another type that is spreading across America. Those warts are known as genital warts. In addition to being known as a skin condition, genital warts are also known as a sexually transmitted disease (STD). This is because these warts are most commonly spread through intercourse, even protected intercourse. In some cases, genital warts are more difficult to have removed, but, like most other warts, it is possible.
Now that you may be able to determine which type of wart or warts you have, you may be able to decide on an appropriate course of action. Almost all warts can be removed at home, but it is advised that you, at least, seek professional advice. In fact, if you have genital warts, you are urged to see a healthcare professional. This is because, in addition to having your warts removed, you may also need to be prescribed medication. This medication may help to reduce the number of outbreaks you experience.

What to Consider Before Trying to Remove Your Own Warts
Warts are small benign growths that develop on the skin. Warts are so common that there is a good chance that you have at least one wart on your body. While warts are common, there are many who wish to have them removed. If you are one of those individuals, what you do you plan on doing? Many individuals make the decision to remove their own warts. While this is possible to do, there are a number of important things that you will want to consider and keep in mind.
While you might assume that the decision to remove your own warts is the only one that you will have to make, it isn’t. With self removal, often referred to as at a home wart removal, you have a number of different options. These options include, but may not be limited to, home remedies and over-the-counter medications. If you are interested in using a home remedy to remove a wart, you can easily find a number of home remedy recipes online. If over-the-counter wart removal products are more your style, you should be able to purchase these products online or from one of your local retail stores.
Perhaps, one of the most important things to keep in mind is the risks associated with removing your own warts. These risks may heighten, depending on wart removal method you choose. That is why it is extremely important to choose a self wart removal method that is not only effective, but safe. You will want to refrain from trying to cutoff your wart, if at all possible. This may result in an infection or other complications. Instead of cutting off your wart, you are advised to find a simple home remedy or purchase one of the many over-the-counter wart medications that are currently available. These methods are often a safer and healthier alternative.
In addition to the method of wart removal that you would like to use, as well as the dangers associated with that method, you are also advised to keep your warts in mind. With wart removal, whether it be at the doctor’s office or at home, the size and the location of the wart or warts are important. Large warts may be difficult to remove or treat with some over-the-counter medications, which are available at most retail stores. Also, the location of your wart may make it difficult or unsafe for you to apply medication, whether that medication is from a home remedy or an over-the-counter wart product.
It is also important to remember that removing your own warts is not guaranteed. With most over-the-counter wart removers, as well wart removal home remedies, you are not given any guarantees. Essentially, this means that you could spend days or weeks trying to get your wart removed, but without any luck. In addition to possibly being unsuccessful, it is also important to remember that there is a chance that your wart could grow back. This commonly happens, even to people who had their warts professionally removed.
The above mentioned points are just a few of the many that you need to keep in mind, when making the decision to remove your own warts. Before making a final decision, it might be a good idea to examine all of your available options, including a professional wart removal. Examining all of your options is the best way to make sure that you find and choose the wart removal option that is best for you and your body.

Although the process seems relatively easy, there are many individuals, maybe even yourself included, who wonder if this method really works. Of course, it is important to remember that different individuals react differently to different things, including certain wart removal methods. With this in mind, using duct tape for wart removal is effective. In fact, it is so effective, that a number of healthcare professionals have even started advising their clients to use duct tape as a wart remover. Their reason for doing this is that duct tape is not only cheap, but it is also pain free, unlike many other wart removal methods.
If you were looking for more scientific proof, it has been noted that warts will often disappear on their own, overtime. This happens when the body’s immune system beings to find and fight them and their bacteria. It has been said, in numerous scientific studies, that duct tape seems to help hurry up the process. In a way, when duct tape covers up a wart the immune system seems to start working faster. That is the reason why warts tend to disappear within a couple of weeks or months after using the above mentioned duct tape method.

Wart Removal for Children
When it comes to wart removal, many adults are making the decision to have their warts removed; however, warts do not just appear on adults, they also appear on children. If you are the parent of a child who has warts, you may be thinking about having them removed. If this is the case, you need to remember something important. Although, individuals of all ages get warts, age has an impact on how those warts can be removed.
When examining your child’s wart removal options, it is necessary to take their age into consideration. For the most part, you have infants, toddlers, young children, and teenagers. All of these individuals fall into one group, children. Despite being classified as one group, there is quite a difference between these people.

Professional Wart Removal: Often Covered by Insurance
Do you have medical insurance, also commonly referred to as health insurance? If you do, you are lucky; not everyone is covered by health insurance. Since you are lucky enough to have health insurance, it is advised that you take advantage of it. This often means going to the doctor, whenever you need to, including whenever you need to have one or more of your warts removed.
Having a wart removed by a doctor is often deemed a professional wart removal. Professional wart removal is performed by many primary care physicians, as well as by many dermatologists. Primary care physicians, also commonly referred to as family physicians, are doctors that tend to deal with their patients on a regular basis.

.

Whether you outright pay for your own health insurance or not, there is a good chance that it covers wart removals.
Although there is a good chance that your health insurance covers wart removal, it is still a good idea to check. You can easily do this by contacting your health insurance company.

By calling that number, you should be able to speak with a representative who could outline what services are and are not covered by your health insurance. In addition to speaking directly with a company representative, you may also be able to obtain the same information online. Most health insurance companies have online websites. Those online websites can, in most cases, be personalized to include information on your coverage plan.
In addition to determining whether or not your health insurance coverage includes wart removal, it is also important to determine whether or not the doctor of your choice accepts your insurance. You can do this by contacting your dermatologist or primary healthcare provider. They should be able to tell you weather or not your insurance coverage is accepted at their office.

How To Get Warts Removed
Before you can begin to understand whether or not you will be required to schedule a consultation appointment, you need to keep one thing in mind. Not all doctors are the same. In the United States, there are a number of different doctors who perform wart removals. These doctors all have the ability to run and operate their business in anyway that they see fit. Essentially, this means that just because your neighbor was required to schedule a consultation appointment with his or her physician, it does not necessarily mean that you will be required to.
When it comes to consultation appointments, dermatologists are more likely to require them than other doctors. This is because dermatologists rarely end up treating their patients on a regular basis. This means that there is good chance that you are either a really old patient or a new patient. If this is the case, a dermatologist may wish to perform a consultation appointment first. This consultation appoint may not only be used to examine the wart or warts in question, but it may also be used as an opportunity to express any other skin concerns you may have. So, in a way, a consultation appointment, if you can afford one, can be considered a good thing.
As mentioned, not all healthcare professionals operate under the same rules and restrictions. To determine whether or not you will have to schedule and pay for a consultation appointment, in addition to the actual wart removal appointment, you are advised to contact the doctor that you plan on seeing. Their office should be able to give you an accurate timetable, as well as an estimated cost of service. It is important that you learn this information upfront. If treatment is too much for you to afford, you may have to look for alternative options; therefore, it is important that you get your questions answered before you are responsible for any services incurred.
Perhaps, it is also important to mention that you can choose any healthcare professional that you would like. For example, if your primary care physician would require you to schedule and pay for a consultation appointment and you do not think that one is necessary, you may want to think about finding another doctor, at least for the wart removal. By contacting a number of local dermatologists or other primary care physicians, you should be able to find at least one professional who could treat you in one appointment. This will not only save you time, but maybe even money.
As you should be able see, consultation appointments, in most cases, are not necessary. Depending on how many warts you need to have removed, your healthcare professional should be able to examine the situation, as well as remove all of your warts, in one appointment. If you would like a consultation appointment or you would like to have yours eliminated, feel free to speak to your healthcare provider; the worst that they could say would be no.

Now that you know exactly what home remedies are and how you can go about finding them, you may be wondering whether or not you really should. This is a common feeling. When reviewing wart removal home remedies, you will find that some are, well, silly. This may leave you wondering whether or not they will really work and if they are safe. That is one of the disadvantages to using home remedies to rid yourself of warts; you never really know. That is why you are advised to choose your home remedies carefully.
When carefully choosing your home remedies, it is important that you lookout for anything that you may be allergic to. It is not uncommon to see home remedies that suggest the use of apple cider vinegar, baking soda, garlic, onions, or other foods or common household products. You will, in almost all cases, apply these items directly to your wart. That is why it is extremely important that you are not allergic to the items that need to be used. If you do have an allergic reaction, your wart will literally become the last thing on your mind.
It is also important to remember that home remedies are not guaranteed to work. While keeping this in mind, it is also important to remember that no wart removal procedure is guaranteed. The wart removal products available over-the-counter, as well as the procedures performed by most healthcare professional, do not come with any guarantees. Although the wart may be removed, it may only be temporary. It is not uncommon for warts to grow back, often in the exact same place that they were originally removed from. When you think about it, it could actually be considered an advantage to home remedy wart removals. Why pay money for something that isn’t guaranteed?
In addition to being a low-cost way to have your warts removed, another advantage to using home remedies is the privacy you will get. Home remedies are usually carried out at home. This means that you should be able to do them on your own, without assistance from anyone else, including a healthcare professional. This means that if you are embarrassed about your warts, even though you really have no reason to be, you may prefer to stay in the comfort of your own home; the use of a home remedy will allow you to do just that.
As you can easily see, there are a number of advantages and disadvantages to using home remedies to remove your warts. When it comes to selecting a wart removal method, the decision is completely yours to make; however, when making that decision it is advised that you keep the above mentioned advantages and disadvantages in mind.

Save On Home Wart Removal Options
Before examining low-cost wart removal options, it is important to keep one thing in mind. What you consider low-cost someone else may not. That is why it is sometimes difficult to list products, services, or medical treatments that are low-cost because not every shares the same understanding of affordability. However, with that in mind, there are still a number of effective, low-cost wart removal options.
Perhaps, the best type of low-cost wart removal is one that is considered a home remedy. In fact, some home remedies are not only considered low-cost, but they are considered completely free. This is because many individuals have the ingredients needed already inside their home. If you do have these ingredients, you may be able to effectively remove your warts, without even having to spend a penny. If you are interested in finding some free or low-cost wart removal home remedies, you are advised to perform a standard internet search. That search should produce a number of different results.
Although home remedies are nice, there are some individuals who are uncomfortable with using them. If you are one of those individuals, you can seek assistance from over-the-counter products. On the market, there are a number of different over-the-counter wart removal products that are available for sale. Perhaps, the cheapest of those being medicated pads or bandages. Medicated pads or bandages come in a number of different sizes and styles. In most cases, these pads or bandages are able to stick to your wart for a number of days. This means that you do not have to purchase a large package of them. In fact, with these over-the-counter medicated pads or bandages, you may be able to have your warts removed for under five dollars.
Another popular, yet somewhat affordable, over-the-counter wart removal product is one that freezes your warts; thus resulting in them falling off. These products are sometimes referred to as freeze away or freeze-off wart removal products. As previously mentioned, these types of over-the-counter products are considered relatively affordable. This is because they tend to cost more than other over-the-counter wart removers. The cost of these freeze-off products mostly depends on the product manufacturer; however, you should be able to purchase a standard size package for around twenty or thirty dollars.
It is important to again focus on the fact that different individuals have different views when it comes to labeling a product or a service low-cost. For instance, for some individuals having their warts professionally removed is considered a low-cost wart removal option. Those individuals are likely ones that have health insurance. Depending on the type of health insurance plan you have, if you even have one, you may only be required to pay a small co-pay, if you are even required to pay one at all. Essentially, this means that depending on your situation, wart removal performed by your family physician or a local dermatologist may be considered low-cost.
If you are looking for the most effective, yet affordable way to remove your unwanted warts, it is advised that you take a minute and examine your needs, as well as your financial situation. For instance, it is quite possible that spending a few extra dollars will produce better results; however, you will not know this unless you thoroughly consider all of your options.

Professional Wart Removal: What You Should Know
In the United States, a large number of individuals develop warts on their body. Warts, although they can be unpleasant, are almost always harmless. Despite being harmless, there are many men, women, and children who wish to have their warts removed. If you are undergoing a wart removal for the first time, you may want to think about visiting a professional healthcare worker. Many individuals feel more comfortable undergoing their first removal when it is done by a professional.
Despite having your warts removed by a professional, there are a number of important factors that you should take into consideration. One of those factors is the type of doctor you plan on using. If you have a primary healthcare physician, a doctor that you see on a regular basis, you may be able to have your wart or warts removed by that doctor. Although a large number of primary care physicians do remove warts, there are some who do not. If your doctor does not perform any wart removal procedures, they will likely refer you to someone else who does. That person may be a dermatologist; a professional skin doctor.
In addition to the type of healthcare professional you plan on visiting, it is also important to consider the removal method that will be used. This is important because your body may have a negative reaction to certain removal methods. Perhaps, that is why you are advised to try and schedule an appointment with your primary care physician; they tend to know your medical history. Before undergoing any treatment, regardless of whether or not you are a new patient, you are advised to inform your physician or dermatologist of any medical complications or allergies that you may have. This information may not only have an impact on the success of the wart removal, but it may also have an impact on your health.
As mentioned above, most warts are completely harmless. This is because almost all warts are considered non-cancerous growths. Despite being relatively harmless, your wart may be tested. Primary care physicians do not always test warts, unless they are given a cause for concern. On the other hand, dermatologists are healthcare professionals that have a focus on skin and everything that is associated with it. For that reason, there is a good chance that a dermatologist will test your wart or warts. This is completely normal; therefore, you do not need to be alarmed if your wart is taken for a biopsy.
After the procedure has ended, your primary care physician or dermatologist will likely provide you with a set of instructions. These instructions will most likely tell you how to properly care for your wound. This is extremely important. Many individuals do not realize that wart removal procedures may result in scaring, even those that are professionally done. However, the scarring doesn’t always depend on the procedure used; it tends to depend on the care given to the wound afterwards. That is why it is important that you follow all directions given to you by your doctor. These directions may include keeping your wound covered at all times or the application of a skincare cream.
By keeping the above mentioned points in mind, you should be able to know what to expect when you go to have your wart or warts professionally removed. If you would like more information on the process, as well as any precautionary measures that you should take, you are advised to contact your primary care physician or the dermatologist, which you plan on visiting.

Wart Removal with Duct Tape: Does It Really Work?
Warts are a skin condition that many individuals have. Although this condition is, in most cases, completely harmless, there are many individuals who wish to have their warts removed.

How A Doctor Gets Rid Of Skin Tags
No matter how some claims that there are natural ways of removing skin tags, it is still safe and advisable to let the experts deal with it rather than doing it by yourself without any assurance that the procedure you are doing has desirable effects. It is more convenient if one lets the dermatologist take a quick look at it and decide on what to do with the growth.
Tags are not at all cancerous and have no chances of growing into one unlike what moles do. But a lot of those who have this growth would choose to get rid of it because of how unsightly it looks and how it becomes irritated when rubbed against a body part or clothing. That is why, before going to a clinic to have the tag removed, it would be better that you already know the type of surgery applicable and what is more suitable for your skin and for you.
Since these type of growth removal will contribute some kind of discomfort and pain and a bit of blood, you have to decide on what’s best and be prepared for it. The more the tags are attached on the skin, the more it will gain discomfort. Sometimes, because of the discomfort, dermatologists would apply anesthesia to be able to numb the skin and pain will be more tolerable.
1. Cauterization This is a kind of tissue removal that involves a skin burning with the use of electrical current.
2. Cryotherapy This type of removal method is used to freeze the tags attached on the skin for easy removal and “killing” of the growth. This is done with the use of liquid nitrogen application and ligation. In general, a copper or suture wire is used by wrapping around the stalk or peduncle even before freezing the targeted tag. There will be times when the dermatologist will use forceps instead of wires.
You have to remember that although this method is darn effective, there still the risk of suffering from the lesions most especially if the dermatologist made a wrong move. That is why, it is of importance that you get someone who is adept with doing the procedure.
3. Tying Even without the use of the freezing methods, one can relinquish the tags just by tying it with threads. Through the tying, it will impend blood circulation in that area which will soon become a necrotic tissue and will become dead cells in a couple of days. When the tags slough off, it will take no time for the skin to be attached with each other again. Even if this works effectively, it is still a tedious job most especially if the skin tags are multiple in numbers. It is still much better if you let the dermatologist do it for you.
4. Excision This is a bloody procedure that is considered as one of the most popular methods of eliminating tags. In this process, tags are removed through the use of scalpels or scissors. This method is more appropriate for growths that are large in size. In order to prevent further bleeding, aluminum chloride can be applied.
Aside from these methods of skin tag removal, there are still other remedies that your dermatologist may offer you. That’s why it is best that you consult the experts first to have a wider knowledge on the things that should be done to your skin tags.

Permanently Remove Moles, Warts, and Skin Tags
Moles and warts are quite common and it’s easy to remove them. But what if you have skin tags? Can you also remove them?
Skin tags create cosmetic problems and insurance companies don’t cover such procedure. You need to spend money right from your pockets if you want to remove these unsightly lesions. Since not all people have the capacity to spend huge money in removing the skin tags, moles, or warts, here are some effective home methods of getting rid of them.
In the case of skin tags, some say that you can just cut or scrape them off. However, if this is done improperly, it can lead to infection. Make sure that you know what you’re doing and you need to sterilize the nail clippers or scissors first. Soak the materials in sanitizer or place them over fire. Before cutting the skin tags, prepare some bandage and cotton just in case there is bleeding.
Freezing is another method of removing skin tags, as well as warts and moles. Before, this procedure was exclusively performed by doctors but you can already find ‘freezing’ products in the market. It is already provided with instructions that you need to follow carefully. However, you can only use this option if you have small tags. The freezing products are available in kits and the kits are less costly as compared to the services given by doctors.
Another method is to cut the blood supply of the skin tags and other skin lesions. You can do this by tying a tight knot at the skin tag’s base. The string should be tied tightly. You can have someone tie the knot for you to ensure the tightness. Leave the string on for a couple of days. Since the blood supply is cut off, the skin tag will eventually fall off after a few days.
These are effective home methods for removing skin tags and even warts or moles. However, you need to be sure that the skin lesions are not malignant. If the skin tags, moles, and warts changed in color and size dramatically, schedule an appointment with your doctor. This is the very first sign that indicates malignant skin lesions. If anything goes wrong with the above home methods, don’t hesitate to consult a doctor as well.
Safety is very important and if you have second thoughts in carrying out the home methods, it would be best not to do it anymore and instead, consult a doctor. Aside from the home methods mentioned, there are still other home remedies that you can try like applying certain herbs on the affected area. If after all these home methods the skin tags, moles, and warts are not removed, a visit to the doctor is advised.
Although it can cost you some money, it would help to know that you’re in safe hands. The doctors can guarantee you that the moles, warts, and skin tags will be removed after the procedure. Most of the procedures can be done in a couple of hours and you don’t need to stay overnight at the clinic or hospital.
Removing moles, warts, and skin tags is very easy. In most cases, the skin lesions are harmless and can heal over time. But since the lesions cause cosmetic problems, you need to remove them immediately.

Can You Remove Face Warts Safely?
Got a revolting wart planted on face? If your answer is “yes”, then it’s about time that you get rid of it. First, before making any move, you have to understand where warts came from. The cause of warts is a virus that came from the family of HPV or human papilloma virus. There are about 100 identifiable types of HPV viruses. These types of viruses have the tendency to grow in almost all parts of your body including your innermost genital areas. Warts are shameful to have most especially if it is located on the tip of your nose or just about any part of your face.
Some of the main causes of warts are the passing on from one person to another. There is also a high chance of getting one when you tend to share clothing or towels with someone who has one. Some warts just go away in a couple of months while some tend to stay a little longer and others just continuously grow on the same spot.
Because the face is highly sensitive to any kind of manipulation, any kind of growth removal must be proper and safe. For that matter, it is of utmost importance that you consult with your doctor first or your physician before making any decisions that may lessen or worsen your condition. Although, there are also applications and methods that are appropriate and can be considered even without the help of a physician. Some of which are:
1. Salicylic acid application
One can apply salicylic acid to a wart which may take weeks to see some difference. In order to get the best results, it is advisable that you apply the salicylic acid after a warm shower or bath or after washing your face. This will soften the skin of your face and will allow a deeper medication penetration. If the wart seems to fall off, you can use an emery board to rid of the dead growth surface.
You have to remember that you should apply salicylic acid on the wart area only and not on the surrounding tissues because salicylic acid can cause burning sensations that can eventually irritate the wart-free areas on your face.
2. Duct tape method
Covering a growth with duct tape is another experimental cure that others seem to consider. The principle goes with the idea that when a tape is applied on the unwanted growth, it will irritate the site and the body will react to the irritated part. Once the body reacts, it will attack the wart itself. You have to cover the growth up to 7 days for a more favorable result. After seven days, you can remove the tape then soak the affected area in water while gently rubbing the site with pumice stone. Leave the growth exposed when you sleep then apply the tape before you go out of the house. If this method does not work for about two months, it is better that you see a dermatologist for further evaluation.
3. Liquid nitrogen application
This one’s usually done inside a clinic. The method goes with the application of nitrogen on the wart which will cause it to freeze and make it fall off.
If your body’s immune system can tolerate the daily application and the treatment being done to the wart, then results are more successful than those who have low tolerance to pain.

How To Get Rid Of Moles
Moles are natural growths seen on every human skin although there are people who would prefer getting rid of it through any natural or clinical way because of how it appears on the skin. There are at least three acceptable methods of removing moles namely – shaving or full excision, laser surgery, and electrocautery.
Shaving or full excision
Shaving is a procedure that needs the mole and the surrounding skin to be surgically removed through anesthetic injection. Anesthesia tends to numb the site for surgery and render the mole to be raised at a level that will make it easier for the surgeon to remove it. Once the anesthesia is already making its mark by making the skin feel no pain, a scalpel will be used to slice off the mole and a bit of tissues surrounding it. Once it is sliced off, the wound will be cauterized to prevent bleeding from continuing.
On the other hand, full excision is excising the growth and adjacent tissues including portions of subcutaneous tissues underneath it. Edges of the skin are stitched together so that tissues will be given time to naturally attached themselves and heal. This kind of technique will leave the incision line which the surgeon tries to minimize.
These two kinds of methods for removal can leave hidden cells underneath the skin that may result to another skin growth of the mole on the same spot where it was excised. For patients who have fear in the sight of bleeding or low pain tolerance, this kind of procedure is not that suitable.
Laser Surgery
This procedure is considered as one of the cleanest and most sophisticated work of clinical art although, this is also one of the most expensive and selective processes that one can opt to choose. Selective in a way that only flat growth is allowed to utilize this kind of procedure. For growths which are raised, it is quite impossible to go with this procedure because the light waves that are released from the laser won’t be able to penetrate deep into the skin tissue to pronounce a satisfactory job. For the procedure to be considered as successful, it must not leave any kind of mark or scar on the skin. This will depend on the person’s skin qualification to produce the good results.
Electrocautery
This is more advisable for skin tags and warts but is not commonly advised to mole removal although it might work by using heat in order to burn the mole from the skin. This is not a popular method because of the painful effects on the skin and forms of scarring to the skin. Several treatments are needed to finally remove the mole and not just through electrocautery.
What are the advantages of mole removal?
1. If you’re a guy and you have a mole on your chin or anywhere on your face where facial hair grows, then it would be more beneficial if the mole be removed than being scraped every time a blade runs through it. If growths tend to protrude, it will be quite painful if it was rubbed against ornaments or clothing.
2. Mole removal can help you achieve a skin that’s clean and smooth which can greatly influence a good physical appearance of the person giving him or her a higher level of self-esteem.
3. Extracted moles lessen the chances of a person getting skin cancer, melanoma.
