As previously mentioned warts are common, among individuals of all ages. Perhaps, that is why a number of warts are referred to as common warts.

Common warts are warts that typically appear on the hands and the fingers.  They are rarely found alone; common warts tend to be in groups or in clusters. Like many other types of warts, these warts are often hard or have a rough or scratchy surface.

One of the reasons why common warts are commonly found on the hands is because these warts tend to appear where there is broken skin. Broken skin is often common on the fingers, especially when nail biting is a habit.

Plain warts or flat warts are another common type of wart.  They, like many other wart types, are often found on individuals of all ages, which include men, women, children, young and old.

Plain or flat warts tend to grow in large groups; however, unlike many other warts, they are not rough or hard to the touch. Instead, many appear as if they are relatively soft.  It is not uncommon for shaving to be associated with flat or plain warts.

Planter warts are also another common type of wart. They are also found on individuals of all different ages.  While warts can appear on just about any part of the body, planter warts are more common on the feet. Their location is what causes some planter warts to be unpleasant and painful.

A planter wart can appear as a single wart, but it’s not uncommon to also find them in groups.  What is unique about these warts is how they grow.  Most warts grow outwards; however, planter warts, most likely because of their location, tend to grow inwards.

Although the above mentioned warts are the most common “traditional,” types of warts, there is another type that is spreading across America. Those warts are known as genital warts.

In addition to being known as a skin condition, genital warts are also known as a sexually transmitted disease (STD).  This is because these warts are most commonly spread through intercourse, even protected intercourse.

In some cases, genital warts are more difficult to have removed, but, like most other warts, it is possible.

Now that you may be able to determine which type of wart or warts you have, you may be able to decide on an appropriate course of action.

Almost all warts can be removed at home, but it is advised that you, at least, seek professional advice. In fact, if you have genital warts, you are urged to see a healthcare professional.

The internet and low-cost web hosting has made it easy for just about anyone to start a website.  When someone develops their own website, they can use it for just about whatever they want, including an online store.

You may think of online stores as safe places to shop, but it is important to remember that is not always the case.

For security purposes, you are advised against shopping with an online retailer or website that you are unfamiliar with.  If you would still like to make a purchase, you are advised to first do a little bit of research.

A standard internet search or a check with the Better Business Bureau should determine whether or not you are interested in doing business with a reputable company.  If you see anything that causes concern, you are advised to move right on.

In addition to having your credit card or your bank account information stolen, you could also be putting your health at risk.

As previously mentioned, it’s advised that you stay away from websites that you have not necessarily heard of. It’s also advised that you do the same with products.

Safe wart removal methods include freezing off a wart, burning it off, or covering it with medicated pads. Now some of these products are available over-the-counter, but many are from well-known and trusted companies.

If you are looking for at home wart removers, you are advised to visit your local department store or drug store. You should be able to find trusted products from trusted brands, such as Wart-Off, Compound W, and Dr. Scholl’s. Many of these products can also be purchased online.

Despite the warnings, there is still a chance that you may be interested in purchasing a wart removing product online. If this is the case, you are advised to be on the lookout for shady, unprofessional websites.

In addition to a poor website design, you will also want to examine the words that are being used.  Be cautious of the words ‘miracle’ and ‘cure’.  Concerning web design, most reputable companies hire a professional to design their websites, as well as a marketing specialist who would likely not use the words cure or miracle to describe a legitimate wart remover.

If you do make the decision to purchase a wart removal product online, you need to make sure that you get a list of the ingredients for that product, as well as a set of detailed directions.

If you do plan on using the product that you ordered, you are advised to be as cautious as you could possibly be. This includes reading and following all directions.

In the event that you are not provided with directions, you are advised, for your own safety, to chalk it up to experience, forget about the product and move on to something new.

A common procedure is for a professional doctor to freeze the wart with liquid nitrogen and then to cut it off from the rest of the body.  This is a fairly common and fairly successful procedure.  Many people undergo this treatment with a high level of success, the one drawback is that it does tend to be rather painful, at least for a short period of time.  Laser surgery is another surgical procedure used by professionals to remove warts.  Laser surgery uses a laser to burn and destroy the wart and wart tissue.  This procedure is usually done in a professional’s office or a clinic.  Some anesthetic might be used depending on where the warts are, how many, where they need to be treated, etc.  That is an issue to discuss with the doctor.

A few years ago  a study was released actually claiming that duck tape can be used to remove warts.  Researchers said duck tape is a more effective, less painful alternative to liquid nitrogen, which is commonly used to freeze warts.  In the study, patients wore duck tape over their warts for six days, then they removed the tape, soaked the area in water, and scraped the spot.  The tape was re-applied the next morning.  After a few weeks the far majority of patients’ warts went away.  The theory is that the duck tape irritated the warts, and that apparently caused an immune system reaction that attacked the growths.

For those who think the duck tape sounds a little odd, and surgery a little extreme, there are plenty of wart removal medicines that individuals can receive over the counter.  Most of these are creams, and just need to be applied consistently as the directions order to succeed.  Just apply to the area, and presto!  Watch as over the week the warts begin to disappear.

There are many options available to removing warts, and none should be discounted or overlooked.  Find the treatment that is right for you, and stop worrying about that unsightly wart, because soon it will be long gone!
