GET RELIEVED FROM VIRAL INFECTION!!!

Warts are caused by a viral infection in the skin. Ordinary warts on the hands and feet are caused by viruses, which only affect humans.Warts are small, rough growths caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV). Any area of the skin can be affected, but warts are most commonly found on the hands, feet and face. Warts on the sole of the feet are known as verrucas and are also caused by HPV.Warts on the hands are found most frequently around the nails and on the fingers.Warts and verrucas are usually harmless and go away by themselves, with up to nine in 10 disappearing within two years in children but often taking longer in adults.Verrucas are seen most commonly where the ball of the foot is exposed to pressure.On closer examination, small black spots can be seen in the verruca. These are not as some people believe roots in the warts. The black spots are caused by bleeding in the verruca as a result of standing and walking on it.


The wart virus is very contagious. The skin cells on the warts release thousands of viruses and touching the wart or skin cells on it releases the virus, which can then infect others.Some children often have trouble not scratching or biting warts on their hands, which can cause the warts to bleed and break up, making then more contagious.The risk of infection is reduced if one paints the warts with nail polish. Warts may also infect indirectly, especially from hard floors, for example in bathrooms and swimming pools.A foot with verrucas releases virus infected cells onto the floor. The wet and more receptive skin of others may then become infected. Children with warts and verrucas can be allowed to swim as normal, providing they wear a verruca sock or cover the wart with a waterproof plaster.People with scratches or cuts on the soles of their feet are especially vulnerable.Not all people are susceptible to the virus. When children share bathrooms that contain wart viruses, some of them will get verrucas, while others seem to be totally immune.



Different types of warts vary in appearance and size, ranging from 1mm to 1cm. The following are some common examples of different types of wart.Common wart (verruca vulgaris) are firm, raised growths with a rough surface, which might look like a very small cauliflower. They are most commonly found on the backs of your hands, fingers, toes and on your knees. Verruca (plantar wart) these are usually found on the soles of your feet. They may have dark spots in the centre and may cause you pain when you put weight on them.Plane wart (verruca plana) these are round, smooth, flat growths often slightly brown in colour. They are common on your face and hands.Mosaic wart these are usually a number of verrucas packed together in a small area, often on your hands and feet. Filiform wart these are long, slender growths common on your face and neck.Genital warts these are usually caused by different types of HPV. They usually spread from other parts of the body, or most often, by sexual contact. You may feel irritation or soreness around the area. See your GP or go to a sexual health clinic for further advice.


The treatment of warts and verrucas depends on the person's age, how many there are, where they are, and what trouble they cause. Especially with children, the option of treatment should be set against the relatively good chances of a spontaneous cure.There are a number of over-the-counter medicines available from your local pharmacist to treat warts and verrucas. There are many creams, gels and medicated plasters for treating warts, which you can buy at pharmacies.You may need to use this treatment for up to three months but don’t use it on your face without speaking to your GP or pharmacist first.Reachpharmacy will help you in this case.They can provide you medicines like Acti-Freeze Verruca and Wart Remover,Bazuka gel,Cuplex Gel etc for curing wart and verrucas.
