We are all highly aware of how our skin looks. Young people are especially so. The pressure is really on for people to look like Hollywood stars and we are bombarded with adverts about our blemishes every day.
One of the most common skin issues is warts and luckily for sufferers, it is one of the simplest to cure. Warts can be removed by a few minutes of non-painful surgery.
The removal of warts by surgery or by other methods like freezing may produce a small wound. If you treat this wound carefully, there is no requirement for it ever to be visible.
If your physician or dermatologist does not give you directions on caring for your skin after the removal of warts, you ought to ask and follow the directions to the letter.
These instructions are not likely| to be onerous to follow. They will probably merely be about applying an antiseptic cream to prevent infection and a bandage or plaster to keep the wound uncontaminated.
However the type of wound you have depends on the procedure of removal that you chose. Surgery and freezing are the worst for developing wounds, but even they are pretty superficial.
If you do not have a lot of warts, you might choose to remove them yourself by applying a wart solvent. Wart solvent ought to be put on two or three times a day and it will rot the wart away during a period of weeks.
Wart solvent usually contains salicylic acid which does not burn, although you have to be careful to put a drop just on the top of the wart. The wart will appear to grow larger as it disintegrates, but this is normal. After a couple of weeks it will fall off not leaving any scar or wound at all.
My aunty cured me of my warts by rubbing them with a lump of raw steak and burying the steak in the garden. She spoke a few words which I did not hear and she told me that once the steak had rotted away, my wart would disappear. She also warned me not to dig the steak up to check.
I was eight years old and the wart was very embarrassingly sitting on the end of my nose. About three weeks later, my wart fell off whilst I was washing in the shower. There was no wound and it never came back. Not many of you will believe that that happened, but it did.
It seems to me that the best way to avoid having to worry about caring for your skin after the removal of warts is to not use surgery at all if you can help it. It is easy to remove warts with over the counter remedies like wart solvent (or steak) if you can.
Surgery and freezing are usually reserved for very large infections of warts, but warts are contagious, so it is best to treat every wart as it appears so that you do not run the risk of spreading the infection to other parts of your body or even to your friends and family.
Caring for your skin after the removal of warts is not an arduous job, but it can be avoided by keeping on top of your warts. As the old saying goes: ‘A Stitch In Time Saves Nine’ and so it is with caring for your skin after the removal of warts as well.
