Warts are unsightly formations that have formed on the surface of the skin from the dead layers of the epidermis. Their appearance is due to the impact of HPV, which is activated when immunity decreases, in stressful situations and under the influence of other factors. To choose the most effective remedy for warts, it is necessary to study their varieties.
The neoplasms under consideration are divided into several types:
- vulgar / ordinary;
- flat / juvenile;
- footbed;
- senile;
- genital warts.
Warts that appear on the body after HPV infection can disappear on their own, because a viral disease is often treated when the body's defenses are restored. With the course of the disease in a chronic form, accompanied by the formation of unsightly tubercles, various drugs are used to eliminate them.
In addition to remedies for warts taken orally, the patient must regularly treat the growths with special ointments, creams and solutions.
Of homeopathic remedies in the treatment of warts, tonic medicines based on Schisandra chinensis, leuzea, echinacea, ginseng, aralia, eleutherococcus are used.
