A flat wart (treatment will be presented later) is a benign formation that manifests itself in the form of small nodules up to 5 millimeters in size, slightly rising above the surface of the skin. It is worth noting that such a disease occurs on the legs, back of the hands and face. The diagnosis of this abnormality is based on a routine visual examination and is confirmed by histological examination.
Flat wart: treatment at home
There are quite a few cases where flat, benign growths have disappeared spontaneously. However, most people, because of the desire to quickly get rid of this cosmetic defect, resort to folk methods. Often, such methods include the use of medicinal plants, as well as decoctions, ointments and infusions from them. The most popular recipes are:
- Before you get rid of flat warts, you need to take the seeds of blue cornflower, grind them well, and then apply to the skin formation and cover with a sticky plaster. The procedure should be carried out every day until the nodules disappear.
- A flat wart, the treatment of which is based on traditional medicine, disappears after a few days if it is regularly smeared with gruel from crushed rowan fruits, and covered with cellophane on top and secured with a bandage.
Turning to non-traditional methods of treating warts, it should be remembered that in no case should flat formations that appear on the face be treated. After all, as a result of self-treatment, you can get a burn, after which scars remain. Also, getting rid of this disease on your own quite often leads to complications in the form of the spread of the papillomavirus throughout the body and the further emergence of new warts.
Traditional flat wart removal
If you have decided to finally get rid of a flat wart, it is best to contact an experienced dermatologist. After all, only a doctor is able to choose the most optimal treatment method, and, if necessary, prescribe an antiviral course.
If this formation appeared on the face, then it should be immediately noted that electrocoagulation, surgical excision or cryodestruction is not suitable for its removal. After all, such methods quite often leave scars. In this regard, it is desirable to get rid of wartsusing the following methods:
- laser removal;
- radio wave removal.
The use of such methods allows you to quickly eliminate neoplasms, as well as prevent the further spread of the virus throughout the human body.
Possible Complications
A flat wart treated with radio wave or laser removal almost always goes away without a trace. But this is only if during the operation modern medical equipment was used in conjunction with the experience of a specialist. In some cases, such a procedure to remove flat warts can lead to complications in the form of burns, scarring and incomplete excision of the nodule, leading to its further growth.
