Can you go swimming right after getting a bellybutton pierced?

You physically CAN, but I wouldn't... I wouldn't swim in anything only a day after. They can get infected by your clothes rubbing against them, I wouldn't chance a dip in fish poo infested water. It's not a good idea. You're almost certain to get an infection. I am lifeguard and a competative swimmer so I had to get back in the water within a week of piercing my belly button. I recommened using Tagaderm which is a clear bandage that moves with your skin and will protect it from anything in the water. You can get it from any Rite Aid or Walgreens type store in the bandaid department.

Are warts bad?

Yes. When you rip it off it is going to bleed. This blood will contain the wart virus and you may spread it elsewhere. Also it is going to grow back. Warts have a very deep root structure. You need to see a doctor to have it frozen or zapped.

The above is not 100% true. First, warts to not actually have 'roots' - rather, they grow via blood vessel, hence the reason why they bleed so badly when you rip them out. I have ripped warts out of my foot, and they never came back. Also, I have seen a doctor regarding my wart problems (all over my hands) and he told me to keep doing what I am doing (trying every method in the book, including wasting my money on Dr Scholl's and using apple cider vinegar) He told me that every time I do a 'treatment' of any kind, I am killing more of the wart. So no, you do not HAVE to see a doctor.

Warts can grow on various parts of a dog's body. Many are completely harmless, and while they do not look attractive, they are not dangerous. According to some sources, older dogs that develop warts should be watched more carefully, because those warts are more likely to be cancerous. With younger dogs, the most common kinds of warts form on the face, lips, mouth or eyelids. Some of these warts are caused by a virus and need to be treated by a veterinarian. The best thing to do if your dog has a wart is to take him or her to a vet to have it tested. It may turn out to be nothing, but better safe than sorry.

How do you remove warts on a my hands?

The best thing to do is check with your PCP. In the meantime, you can try this; I had success with it as a youngster. Saturate 3 or 4 ounces of water with salt; put enough salt so that it cannot all dissolve. Moisten the pad of an ordinary band aid with it and apply it to the wart, with the pad over the wart, of course. Do this daily and before long the wart will dry up and vanish. You can put the water aside for use later, or make a small amount fresh each day. Wash your hands regularly.

Is it possible to pull off a wart?

Oh, my goodness, don't do that. You should talk to your doctor. A wart is a skin eruption, and pulling it off will leave a wound that is open to infection. It's probably not even likely that removing a wart this way would leave the skin clean from the agent that caused the wart. Talk to your doctor, or school nurse, or use an otc preparation if you are sure that the one you get is appropriate for the wart you have. Decades ago, I treated a wart I had with simple saline (water saturated with table salt) and it turned white and disappeared within several days.

If you will knock the top off it it will heal up and return to its previous appearance.

NO! But, you can try using a pummis rock and shaving it down then putting athletes foot cream on it. Because of the tolnaftate that is in it it will kill the surface of the wart.

How do you get a common wart of your toe?

As a result of the various different types of warts, there are a number of different wart removal treatments. Your dermatologist will analyze the wart(s) to determine which wart removal method is best. In young children, doctors may want to wait a bit and see if they disappear on their own. Wart removal treatments can take place through a medical professional, prescribed from a dermatologist, or through store-bought remedies.

Professional treatment from a dermatologist is the most effective means of wart removal. Dermatologists may use a method called cryotherapy, in which he or she applies liquid nitrogen directly to the wart between two or four times over the span of one to three weeks, until the wart is removed. Dermatologists can also use another method that applies cantharidin to the wart. Cantharadin is a chemical that dermatologists apply through a bandage, which must be worn for 24 hours. The doctor will then remove the bandage and the dead skin of the wart. There are also laser therapy treatments to remove warts from the skin.

Victims of warts can also receive prescription wart removal remedies that are self-administered at home. Salicylic acid can treat warts on the hands, feet or knees. Patients apply the acid directly to the wart for several weeks until the wart is removed. A prescribed silver nitrate pencil is another over-the-counter option for wart removal.

Regardless of whether you seek professional wart removal treatment or self-administered remedies, discuss your warts with a dermatologist to ensure the remedy you prefer is the best for your specific wart(s).

How do you treat warts on a horses nose?

Your veterinarian may have a remedy to try, or you can shop around for a topical ointment to remove the warts. Some people swear by honey on the surface covered in duct tape (yes, that would hurt a lot to peel off, so have some common sense about trying it); others pick at the wart until it bleeds a bit to get the immune system to knock it back down. There is some possibility that Compound W or another commercial human wart remover would work as well, but be aware that these are typically caustic compounds that will hurt if it touches normal teat tissue.

Regardless of what you try (there isn't a single best treatment - even surgical removal isn't necessarily a good option in this location), make sure to keep the medication away from cows or calves that may try to chew on the teat or eat the medication. Also, if the cow is in the milking herd, use NOTHING - there is a risk of the medication getting into the bulk tank and could cost you the entire milking harvest.
