How to Remove Warts with Natural Medicine

Warts are non-cancerous growths that occur when a virus called human papillomavirus (HPV) infects the top layer of the skin. Warts usually appear as raised rough patches on the skin, and can be skin-colored or dark. Warts are most common on the fingers, face, elbows, knees, feet and scalp. They are spread from person to person, and the time between contact and the wart's appearance can be several months. Warts can often be treated successfully with natural medicine.
