Your warts can indeed be cured from home without undergoing any surgery.
Individuals who are infected with warts affecting various parts of their body are going to find out that the culprit is a viral infection from the human papillomavirus that is causing this condition.
Something both men and women do not realize, is that this infection is highly contagious and easily transferred to others.
Just by touching the infected areas of a person with warts, can bring about infection with the virus.
You will also be quite surprised to learn what the leading factor is for this infection to manifest itself; causing so many people to suffer from it.
You will be advised on how to prevent infection with any of the four types of warts, namely common, flat, plantar and genital warts.
Some of the treatment options available will be presented in this article as well.
Who would have thought that potassium, or more accurately the lack of potassium in your diet, is the principal reason why people get infected with the different strains of the human papillomavirus, resulting in the appearance of warts.
Starting to supplement your diet with foods rich with potassium seems to be the most obvious initial step to prevent infection with the virus.
Be aware of the fact that this will merely prevent new warts from forming by building up a resistance to new infections.
It will not get rid of any of the warts you are currently infected with.
One of the most widely used treatments is apple cider vinegar.
There are a lot of testimonies on various websites that attest to the success people have experienced from using this remedy.
Before applying the substance to your warts, be sure to clean the infected areas with warm water.
Wait for it to dry, and by means of a cotton ball apply the apple cider vinegar directly to the warts.
For the treatment to be effective you need to wait about 15 minutes before you rinse it off with water.
If you diligently do this twice a day for a few days, you should see a remarkable improvement in your skin condition.
The warts will be smaller, or might even have cleared up completely.
Another cure that seems to yield good results is by applying the solution of an aspirin dissolved in water to the warts.
After application, cover the warts with a band-aid or bandage.
As with the apple cider vinegar, you need to also painstakingly do this two times a day for about one week to obtain positive results.
These are only two home remedies that have been proven to work quite well.
Please note that the severity of your warts, and also how long you have had them, can be the factors when desired results are not acquired.
Just the remedies mentioned here can do wonders for some people; others might have to consult a physician for their specific condition.
It is said that prevention is better than cure.
Prevent further infection by eating apples, bananas, chicken, haddock, baked beans, carrots, chocolate and peanuts.
This list is by no means an exhaustive list though.
An internet search for potassium rich foods will give you a very comprehensive list of foods.
The increased potassium levels in your body will build up your immune system, assisting your body to resist further infection from this skin disease.
