How to Treat Seed Warts

Seed warts break out on skin and are caused by the human papilomavirus. The virus typically enters the skin through cuts and cracks. Not only do they make your skin appear unsmooth, but they can also be painful depending on their location on the body. Seed warts are also a challenge to remove because they are likely to grow back, even after treatment. However, there are wart removal treatments that help remove seed warts and keep them from growing back.

Instructions

• 1

  See a dermatologist before you attempt any home remedies or take any over the counter medications. A dermatologist will tell you if your wart needs to be removed professionally or if specific medications will help.

• 2

  Follow through with the treatment given to you by your dermatologist. For instance, your dermatologist may suggest treatments such as laser surgery to cut the warts away. Your dermatologist may also be able to tell if your body has a predisposition to developing warts. He may be able to suggest a treatment that keeps warts from growing more frequently.

  Use salicylic acid to treat the warts over time. This treatment comes in patches that you place over the warts until they burn away. The medication also comes in a dropper that you can use multiple times a day to treat your warts. The warts should be covered with patches after treatment to prevent infection.

  Freeze the warts with liquid nitrogen. This medication can be purchased at your dermatologist's office. Liquid nitrogen freezes the skin cells infected with the HPV virus and allows the body's immune system to attack the virus with greater ease.
