How do you get rid of a wart that have had for over 5 years. I tried so many different solutions and just want to be the bothersome thing. it is located on my right middle finger.?
1. Salicylic acid
Salicylic acid is a topical medication that is available over the counter. It works by breaking down the keratin that makes up the wart, causing it to eventually fall off. To use salicylic acid, apply it to the wart twice a day and cover it with a bandage. You may need to use salicylic acid for several weeks or months to see results.
2. Freezing
Freezing, or cryotherapy, is another common treatment for warts. This treatment involves using liquid nitrogen to freeze the wart, which causes it to die and eventually fall off. Freezing is typically done by a doctor or dermatologist.
3. Laser therapy
Laser therapy is a more expensive treatment option for warts, but it is often effective. This treatment involves using a laser to destroy the wart tissue. Laser therapy is typically done by a dermatologist.
4. Surgery
Surgery is the most invasive treatment option for warts, but it is sometimes necessary if other treatments have failed. Surgery involves removing the wart with a scalpel or other surgical instrument. Surgery is typically done by a doctor or dermatologist.
5. Home remedies
There are a number of home remedies that are said to be effective for treating warts, but there is no scientific evidence to support their use. Some of these remedies include:
* Applying apple cider vinegar to the wart
* Applying garlic to the wart
* Applying tea tree oil to the wart
* Applying duct tape to the wart
If you have a wart that has been bothering you for over 5 years, it is important to see a doctor or dermatologist for treatment.
