Say No to Unwanted Skin Mole and Warts
Moles and warts are both common skin conditions, but they have different characteristics and treatments.
What Causes Mole and Warts ?
Moles, also known as nevi, are usually harmless skin growths that develop when melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) grow in clusters. They can appear anywhere on the body and vary in color, size, and shape. Most moles are benign and don’t require treatment unless they change in size, shape, or color, which could be an indication of skin cancer. Warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can appear on various parts of the body. They are characterized by small, rough growths on the skin and can have a cauliflower-like appearance. Warts are contagious and can spread through direct contact or by touching surfaces contaminated with the virus.
Some Common Treatment Approaches:
Warts
01
Over-the-counter (OTC) Medications:
There are OTC treatments available that contain ingredients like salicylic acid or lactic acid. These medications are typically applied topically to the wart and work by gradually dissolving the wart tissue. It's important to follow the instructions carefully and be patient, as it may take several weeks or months for the wart to completely disappear.
02
Cryotherapy:
TThis involves freezing the wart using liquid nitrogen. The freezing causes the wart tissue to die and eventually fall off. Multiple sessions may be required for complete removal.
03
Electrocautery or Laser Therapy:
These procedures use heat or laser energy to burn or destroy the wart tissue. They are typically performed by healthcare professionals and may require local anaesthesia.
04
Surgical Removal:
For larger or stubborn warts, surgical removal may be considered. This can involve cutting out the wart under local anesthesia. Stitches may be required, and scarring is possible.
05
Immunotherapy:
In certain cases, immunotherapy may be used to stimulate the body's immune system to fight against the virus causing the wart. This can involve injecting medications into the wart or applying immunotherapy creams.
