HPV or human papillomavirus causes warts to appear on the human body. Treatment is carried out comprehensively, antiviral drugs, immunomodulators to strengthen the immune system and other medications are prescribed. The removal methods are varied: they use cryodestruction, laser and radio wave intervention. But such procedures require financial investments. Therefore, many people prefer to use home remedies for warts, which are no less effective. The downside is that they take a long time to use.
Traditional treatment for warts on fingers.
Warts can appear anywhere. However, in most clinical presentations they affect the feet and fingers of the upper extremities. The hands are always open to view, it is necessary to constantly work on them, which causes certain inconveniences.
There are many recipes that will help you solve the problem at home on your own. The most recommended use is garlic. It is used in paste form or applied in a thin layer to the affected area. The procedure lasts 12 hours, so it is best to do it immediately before going to bed. During the day, you can simply rub the problem area with garlic, it is not recommended to wet it with water.
FYI, onions also help remove skin growths, but are less effective than garlic. The vegetable is suitable for those patients whose skin is more sensitive. It is used in a similar way to garlic.
Folk remedies for warts on the finger (recipes):
- Chew a small piece of propolis thoroughly and apply it to the tumor overnight. Remove in the morning and repeat the procedure at night. Reviews show that in a week you can get rid of any type of warts and papillomas;
