Warts are small bumps that appear on the skin caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). Although they are harmless and tend to disappear on their own over time, many people choose to remove them because they can be uncomfortable or embarrassing.
To treat warts at home, different recommendations can be followed. For example, it is important to avoid direct contact with the warts, not to try to pull them off to prevent the spread of the virus, and to be careful with the cleaning of the affected areas.
Additionally, there are home methods such as applying aloe vera gel, lemon juice, or garlic paste on the wart and leaving it overnight. These natural ingredients have healing, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory properties that can help dry out and effectively remove warts.
In cases of painful warts or those that show changes in appearance, it is advisable to consult with a dermatologist to assess the severity of the symptoms and receive the most appropriate treatment. The specialist can provide guidance on how to safely and effectively treat warts, avoiding complications or the spread of the virus.
