How do you get rid of flat warts?

They hate rubbing alcohol....it takes a few weeks but if you dab the warts once or twice a day they will go away. For a very bad infection, it could take years but they will die. Peel the dead warts off the skin to the best of your ability and always follow up with the alcohol on the area. Stay focused, you are at war!

They give themselves away by itching (intensely) before they can be seen. Be sure to dab the itching area right away!

You can have thousands of warts on your hands and not know it as they hide under calluses. Pay attention and keep fighting. Be sure to put alcohol on your hands before going into the public areas or you will spread the infection to others. Wearing surgical gloves around the house will help keep the virus off door knobs etc. The virus will live forever on clothing. Spraying the inside of your clothing with alcohol will kill the virus. Washing white items in Clorox will do so also.

I have heard tea tree oil works....have yet to try that. I am winning my war but it is taking a long time as I had a very bad infection and did not know it.

If you start feeling sharp pains in a month or two it's probably a harmless form of bone tumor. Harmless if you're a child, because this kind of tumor can become a threat if you're an adult. About your question-this tumor can be removed without surgery. but I'm probably wrong; this type of tumor most commonly occurs on the shoulders, the pelvis and the knees.

HPV doesn't have any treatment. Abnormal cells on the cervix caused by HPV usually aren't treated during pregnancy. Some treatments for genital warts are safe during pregnancy. Talk with your health care provicer to clarify your exact diagnosis and options for treatment.

What are plantar warts?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

These warts are typically small, hard, granulated lumps on the skin, and color may appear as white, pink, brown, gray or flesh colored. They can also feel thick, spongy, and scaly. There are actually three types of plantar warts: (a) single or isolated wart, (b) one wart, often called the mother, surrounded by a number of smaller warts, and (c) cluster of many warts grouped together. There are various ways how plantar warts can be treated. One can use natural remedies like garlic oil, lemon balm, and oregano oil, and apply them as topical treatment. There are also various otc medications for warts like Wartanol that can help eliminate warts from the roots. For severe cases of plantar warts, more aggressive treatments might be necessary. This include freezing, minor surgery, or laser treatment.

What happends when a wart is scratched off?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, although it hurts and stings like hell and is so hard it took me 3 days it will bleed for about 2 or 1 hours and will come back even bigger

I tried scraping them off too, and they seem to not want to go. Like the person above me said, it probably won't work.

Update: There is this thing called the "Wartabater" (which is about $75) that uses radio frequencies proven effective at killing warts at the source. I have used it on two on my thumb and my foot (there is a probe that you stick into the wart and run for 3-5 minutes...it can sting, but is worth it) and slowly but surely they started to fall off and die. I would also recommend taping them to try suffocating the warts and make the treatment more effective. But, if you don't want to shell out 75 bucks for this machine, I would also recommend the garlic treatment. Scientists have found that some ingredient in the garlic is antiviral and can help kill warts (note: this is long, requires patience, and can be a little unpleasant--you tape the garlic to wherever your wart is and wait for it to work its magic).

How do you get warts on pelvis?

Asked by Wiki User

The only way you can get warts on your vagina is if your sex partner has warts in the groin area. A wart is essentially a fungus, and can be transmitted through sex. If you have warts on your vagina, it is best that you and your partner are treated by a doctor who treats sexually-transmitted diseases, or else the warts will grow bigger and in more places.
