Warts are non-cancerous growths on the skin that are quite common, caused by the DNA human papillomavirus (HPV). There are various subtypes of warts, including common warts, plantar warts, mosaic warts, plane warts, facial warts, and genital warts. These growths spread through direct contact with the virus present in living or shed skin, and are facilitated by trauma and moisture.
Common warts typically start as smooth, skin-colored papules and eventually become rough and hyperkeratotic. They are most frequently found on the hands but can also appear on the face, genitalia, and limbs, often in multiples. Plantar warts, found on the feet, have a rough surface and a horny rim, often causing pain while walking.
Homeopathic treatment offers a holistic approach to addressing warts. Homeopathy treats the individual as a whole rather than just targeting the wart itself. After a thorough case evaluation, a personalized homeopathic remedy is prescribed. These remedies aim to address the root cause of the condition, potentially preventing recurrence.
Homeopathy provides an alternative to surgical options, promoting natural removal of warts through a comprehensive treatment plan.
