Wartie Advanced Cryotherapy Wart and Verruca Remover is a treatment that will remove warts and verrucas through cryotherapy. Cryotherapy works by basically freezing the wart to its core, cooling the wart to sub-zero temperatures. This is done by only applying the solution in this treatment to the wart, and not the surrounding skin, leaving it healthy. Wartie Advanced Wart and Verruca Remover are suitable to be used on warts that are located on the hands, knees, elbows, and fingers, as well as verrucas on the feet.
Warts and verrucas are caused by a virus known as the human papillomavirus (HPV). This virus infects the skin that lines the inside of the body, causing the skin to thicken and harden. There are over 100 types of this virus and any of them can spread through contact with someone who is infected, or in surfaces that have been touched by someone who is infected. In rare cases, HPV can cause cancer in areas where contact was made, such as in sexual contact.
Both verrucas and warts are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV) which is contagious and spreads from contaminated surfaces or through close skin contact. It’s common to catch them in places such as communal showers, changing rooms and floors around swimming pools.
You can prevent catching warts and verrucas by:
Washing your hands after touching a wart or verruca
Change your socks daily if you have a verruca
Cover warts and verrucas with a plaster when swimming
Take care not to cut a wart when shaving
Avoid sharing towels, flannels, socks or shoes if you have a wart or verruca
Do not bite your nails or touch your mouth if your fingers have warts
Do not walk barefoot in public places if you have a verruca
Avoid scratching or picking a wart
