How to Get Rid of Warts Forever

Warts are ugly and can be embarrassing. Often, they are painful and sometimes they will bleed if they are bumped or agitated. Before learning how to get rid of warts, you need to know exactly what they are and what causes them. Viruses found in the human papillomavirus family, more commonly known as the HPV family, cause warts. Warts are viruses that live in the skin and feed off blood vessels, which is why removing a wart can be very painful. There are many ways to get rid of a wart, but if you want to be rid of the wart forever, you need to kill the virus itself.
