Brilio.net - Do you have warts that are clearly visible to the eye? The appearance of warts on the surface of the skin is a common problem and can occur on any part of the body, including the face. Of course having warts in open areas makes you less confident, right? It's not surprising that many people are looking for ways to remove warts.
Warts are skin growths that are generally small, rough, and raised. They are usually the same color or slightly darker than the surrounding skin color. Warts can appear on various parts of the body, including the hands, feet, face , and genital areas.
Warts are caused by infection with the human papilloma virus (HPV). This virus can be transmitted through direct contact with infected skin, or through contact with objects contaminated with the virus, such as towels and/or footwear.
After exposure, HPV will enter the skin through small wounds or cracks. Damp skin can increase the risk of infection. After that, the virus will begin to replicate in the epidermis cells (the outermost layer of the skin). The growth of warts begins when infected skin cells grow uncontrollably on the surface of the skin, and lead to the formation of rough growths that we know as warts.
Warts can grow to various sizes, from very small to larger. They can also appear singly or in larger groups. If the appearance is large, then your appearance can be affected because of these warts.
To overcome this, people usually take medical action in the form of laser treatment. This procedure is often used for skin care. However, laser treatment is priced at a price that can dry out your pockets. Not only that, removing warts with a laser has a number of negative effects such as redness, bleeding and numbness.
