News India Live, Digital Desk: According to dermatologists, not every bump that looks like a wart is a normal wart. Many times, ‘Melanoma’, which is a type of deadly skin cancer, looks exactly like a normal wart in the initial stages. When you try to cut or burn it at home, you inadvertently provoke cancer cells to spread to other parts of the body.
Why is it dangerous to remove warts at home? (The Hidden Risks)
1. Delayed Diagnosis of Cancer
If the bump is actually an early sign of cancer and you remove it using home remedies, the surface will be cleaned, but the roots of the cancer will remain inside. Due to this, the disease is not detected at the right time and it becomes serious.
2. Infection & Scarring
‘Wart removal’ creams or home remedies available in the market can burn the skin badly. This increases the risk of infection (Sepsis) and can leave deep scars on the skin for life.
3.Viral Spread
most warts Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) Are caused by. When you prick or cut it at home, the virus spreads along with the blood to the surrounding healthy skin, causing dozens of warts instead of one.
Wart vs Skin Cancer: How to recognize the difference?
According to doctors, if you see these changes in your wart, get checked immediately:
Unusual color: If the wart starts turning black, blue or multicolored.
Growing Size: If it is spreading rapidly or its border is jagged.
Pain or bleeding: If the wart suddenly starts bleeding or there is continuous pain.
Itching: If there is excessive itching or burning in the skin around the wart.
What is the correct way to remove warts? (Safe Treatments)
Nowadays, medical science has safe techniques to remove warts without any pain and scars:
Cryotherapy: In this, the wart is frozen and removed with the help of liquid nitrogen.
Laser Treatment: The roots of the wart are destroyed through laser rays.
Electrocautery: The wart is dried with light waves of electricity.
