WARTS |
Medical definition
A wart is a benign growth on the skin caused by infection with human papillomavirus. Common warts are firm horny papules, found mainly on the backs of the hands. Most will clear spontaneously within 2 years. Plane warts are flat and skin colored and therefore difficult to see; they are usually found on the face and may be present in very large numbers. Genital warts are frequently associated with other genital infections and affected women have an increased risk of developing cervical cancer.
Treatment regimen
Apply allicin cream once or twice daily by massaging a small amount into the surface of the wart. Users report that the treatment takes effect in approximately 2 weeks and the warts have completely disappeared within 1 month. One user re-applied allicin every day for no more than a week and found the warts had completely disappeared. |
