Wart removal
Warts are a small hard growth on the skin. They are formed when keratin, the hard protein contained in the top layer of the skin, grows too fast. These benign growths are caused by the human papilloma virus, and they can appear anywhere on the body. They often resemble cauliflower or a hardened blister. You can develop flat, seed, hand, mosaic, filiform, or plantar warts, but almost all types of warts can be removed with wart removers. You can often use a wart removal kit to get rid of unwanted warts in the privacy of your own home.
Wart removal products
A number of wart removers are available for purchase. Many of these products use salicylic acid or dimethyl ether and propane to remove warts. Salicyclic acid causes the wart to shrink and fall off within a 12-week period, while dimethyl ether and propane are used to freeze the wart for quick removal. You can purchase freezing kits, liquids, gels, and clear strips to get rid of warts. Plantar wart removal kits designed to be used on painful plantar warts on the feet are also available for purchase. The wide selection of wart removal products allows you to choose just the right one for your specific needs.
