Wart Remover: The Mechanism of Action

There are minor and serious skin disorders that may alter our physical health and social life. Warts are one of the common skin disorders that occur due to the infestation of certain strains of human papillomavirus. Warts may affect people with low immunity level and they normally heal after a certain period. However, the normal curative process may take several months to years. There are many efficient wart removers available in modern medical science that effectively cures this skin disorder. Interestingly there are a number of wart remover medications that works on a person may not deliver any positive result for you. There are many reasons for this phenomenon. This article highlights about different warts removers and its mechanism of action. Most of the wart removers contain at least one of the following medications

· Salicylic acid

· Liquid nitrogen

· Imiquimod

· Dichloro-acetic acid

Salicylic acid

Salicylic acid preparations are available in liquid form and are effective for warts that form in the areas of skin, which does not have dense sweat glands. (Salicylic acid binds with sweat salts and readily spreads to the nearby skin tissues and damages them)

Salicylic acid breaks the intercellular bond and reduces the cellular perfusion. This chemical may not act properly in warts that thick and darker than usual. Sponging the warts with salt water improve the absorption of salicylic acid. Always take care to wipe of the water in the warts to prevent the acid spread.

Liquid nitrogen

Liquid nitrogen (LN) is widely used in cryotherapy. LN is one of the effective remedies that destruct the wart cells. However, liquid nitrogen can deliver only a temporary relief as in most of the cases wart may reappear in the same spot after several months. Recent studies states that certain strains of virus can resist extreme cold and heat as they survive to form new warts after an interval. The regular application of ice after cryotherapy has shown positive results.

Imiquimod

Imiquimod is an effective wart remover wart remover that stimulates our own immune system to destruct the invaders. Human papilloma virus uses our DNA for its growth and multiplication. They effectively deceive our immune system by replicating the structure of our DNA. Our defense system identifies these viruses our body parts. On application, imiquimod stimulates our defense system and help them to identity the virus. Application of imiquimod twice a day has proved to deliver 100% cure and the recurrence of warts are negligibly law.

Dichloroacetic acid

Dichloroacetic acid interferes with the normal breathing pattern of warts by suppressing the lactic acid fermentation, which is vital for anaerobic respiration of the cells. When cellular breathing impairs, the wart cells undergo a process called apoptosis (self-initiated suicidal death) and the energy resources of virus deplete. Virus cannot sustain in a dead cell and frequent use of dichloroacetic acid clears out the virus effectively from our skin tissues. In rare cases, the warts may reappear if treatment procedure fails to destruct all the viruses.
