The War On Warts
Having
warts is no laughing matter. While not exactly life-threatening, warts can be
disfiguring, and gives off the impression that you couldn't care less about the
way you look.
Warts are caused by a
viral infection of the human papillomavirus (HPV) in the top layer of
skin or mucous membranes. Usually skin-colored and rough-textured,
though some can be dark and smooth, warts affect only the epidermis –
the top layer of the skin.
How To Avoid Getting Warts
Avoid direct wart
skin contact with someone who is infected. This means that you have to
make sure that your loved ones also undergo warts removal so as to
prevent getting re-infected.
Avoid sharing towels,
clothes, cosmetics, bed linens and other personal items.
Take precautions not
to spread the virus to other parts of your body from picking or filing
the wart.
After touching any of
your warts, wash your hands thoroughly.
Keep your shoes on.
The wart virus thrives in a very moist environment, so always wear
plastic thong sandals around swimming pools, health clubs, and locker
rooms to avoid foot contact with it.
Clean up. Sometimes,
avoidance is as simple as washing down the shower with a product like
Lysol or even household bleach; these work to kill viruses and bacteria.
Play it cool. People
seem to be more susceptible to warts when they're under stress and
eating poorly. So try to take it easy.
At Godiva Skin Station, we offer a safe,
painless, non-surgical way of removing warts using Electrocauterization (ECT).
First, a topical anesthesia is applied on the
affected skin. After 30 minutes or so, a tool with a thin, needle-like hot tip is placed on the
wart. The doctor then proceeds to "burn off" the affected area. Initially, the
area around the wart may look like it is charred. Treatment
takes around 20 to 30 minutes. You will be asked to apply post-ECT cream for 3
days to speed up healing. After 3-5 days, your skin heals. It will appear scar- and wart-free.
The best time to have your
warts removed is during long weekends. Take advantage of the coming
holidays and schedule your warts removal NOW!
Stop by Godiva
Skin Station today and say hello to smoother, wart-free skin!
