The All Natural Plantar Warts Treatment
Plantar warts treatment is for Plantar warts that can be found at the bottom of the feet. They are a very common growth with as many as 2 children in 10 suffering from it. They are a common occurrence in children between the ages of 12-16 years but even adults can get plantar warts. The main cause of these warts is the Human Papillomavirus that induces faster growth in some skin cells thus resulting in a growth known as a wart. The virus is normally introduced into the body through a cut or a scratch on the skin from an infected surface. So to avoid the plantar warts, make sure that you do not scratch a cut with your nails because the HPV virus might be residing under the finger nails. However if you have already contracted the warts, then you can use natural treatment for plantar warts.
These natural treatments for plantar warts are most effective if they are applied immediately you notice a plantar wart developing on your feet or on the feet of children. The warts can develop to a very painful formation covering part of the foot or the whole foot and therefore it is not advisable to the condition spread untreated. But before we consider the plantar warts treatment we need to break a few myths about these warts. There are some donts that you must strictly steer clear of when you are treating plantar warts at home. These are:
1. Do not freeze the warts off, do not burn the warts off with acid, do not surgically remove the warts, and generally be wary of over the counter wart creams that contain acid.
2. Choose a cream with a trusted and widely accepted natural formula or any other ointment or remedy.
Moving along now, natural plantar warts treatment will draw the wart from the root upwards which ensures that no scarring is left behind and any chance of the wart growing back is minimized. However the method you choose will greatly rely on the amount of pain you are willing to endure. You will notice with some background digging, that home treatments are normally the least painful treatment for plantar warts. Surgical operations by doctors make up for the most painful plantar warts removal procedures currently available. Another advantage of home treatment for plantar warts is that it is easier on the pocket.
The first plantar warts treatment you can do at home is using a bottle of nail polish, a towel, blow dryer, soap and water. With all these ingredients with you, wash your feet with water and soap thoroughly to avoid any infection during the procedure. Dry your foot with the towel and the blow dryer adjusted to the low setting. Next, cover the whole wart with nail polish and using the dryer again, dry the nail polish. Repeat this for any other area that has the plantar warts. Afterwards, put on a sock to cover the foot. Keep the nail polish for several days even if it is uncomfortable.
What this plantar warts treatment does is cutting off the oxygen supply to the wart. This will cause the plantar wart to die off as the virus is unable to reproduce. Once the nail polish falls off by itself, the wart will fall off to. You can use a nail polish remover to remove off any nail polish remnants. But you have to make sure that you cover every inch with nail polish or the treatment will not work.
