A favorite place for localization of warts is the fingers. A wart is a benign proliferative disease of the skin and mucous membranes, most often of a viral nature.

Finger warts are most common. Sometimes they can be dealt with at home.

Home treatment

Home treatment with folk remedies can be quite effective for some types of warts, however, before proceeding with it, you need to consult with a specialist regarding the nature of the neoplasm.

Home remedies can be used in two ways:

1. External use to remove the lesion that has arisen (90% of all existing recipes).
2. Internal use. In this case, we are talking about means that strengthen the immune system (in particular, the human papillomavirus occurs more often in people with immunodeficiency). The group of drugs used for this purpose does not have a clear focus on the elimination of warts, providing a general strengthening effect.

External means

Home remedies for external use require long-term use for optimal results.

Contraindications to the use of folk remedies

You should refrain from using home remedies in the following cases:

• individual intolerance;
• acute infectious processes at the site of localization of the wart (furuncle, felon);
• the period of pregnancy and lactation (especially for oral administration).

Recommendations

Care must be taken when using oral medications in people with ulcers or erosive gastritis, because of the existing risk of complications in the course of the disease.

If warts sprout up constantly on different parts of the body, you need to contact an immunologist.

Traditional methods of treatment can improve the patient's condition and eliminate the external manifestation of the disease. But in the absence of proper medication and other classical treatments (cryodestruction, laser removal), warts very often recur.

The most popular remedy for warts is celandine juice, but care must be taken not to accidentally get inside.

Types of warts

Before starting treatment, it is required to establish the exact nature of the neoplasm and the cause that caused it, since there is an outward resemblance of typical warts with skin oncological diseases that require a special approach.

View	Characteristic
Human papillomavirus (HPV) warts	Typical classic warty formations that appear on the skin of the hands and have an infectious origin. You can get rid of them both with the help of classical and folk methods.
Caused by molluscum contagiosum	On the back of the hands and fingers rarely occur (typical localization on the body and in the perineum). As a rule, there are several formations closely located to each other. It is allowed to use traditional methods of therapy.
Epidermal verrucous nevus	It is dark brown in color and protrudes significantly above the skin surface. It exists from birth. Treat only with surgical methods (surgical removal, laser surgery).
Keratoma	The growth is conical in shape, large in size and penetrates into the deep layers of the skin (the superficial and deep vascular network is damaged). The occurrence is possible at different ages (in an adult, the risk of occurrence is greater than in a child). Both traditional and folk methods of treatment are allowed to use.
Basalioma (malignant tumor of the skin)	Single education, more often occurs in the elderly. Around the central formation there is a typical ridge of nodules. In the center there is an impression, covered with a crust (an ulcer occurs when removed). Treatment only by means of official medicine (mainly surgical), folk remedies are categorically contraindicated.

In the photo, warts look different, depending on their appearance, they are distinguished as follows:

View	External manifestations

Filiform	Thin horny outgrowths like papillomas, multiple, hands and face are involved.
Butcher's warts	They resemble cauliflower, multiple, occur on the phalanges and pads of the fingers (especially the little finger and thumb), are typical for people who, due to professional necessity, are constantly in contact with meat.
Epidermodysplasia verruciform	Multiple, combined with spots of different diameters, occur on the back of the hand, forearms, and lower legs. Are the result of an autoimmune process.

Despite the presence of the favorite places of localization of each type, they can all appear on any part of the skin, including on the fingers.
