If you have moles on your body, don't worry, you are not alone! Most everyone has an average of 10 to 50 moles on their body. Moles are brown spots on the skin often referred to as "Beauty Marks". As we get older, our moles tend to get bigger and darker. To some, a couple moles on a persons face are thought to make that person look more attractive. But for most of us, we would just as soon see them gone, if not for cosmetic reasons, because they can become skin cancer.

If you have ever had one, you know Warts are not an enjoyable experience! Common Warts, Planters Warts or Genital Warts can all be removed. There are many methods presently available. Although many of these methods did not work for me, it is important to understand all these approaches, so you can know the best course of action to effectively remove your Warts once and for all!
Over The Counter Remedies....
Most of these products contain Salicylic Acid as the active ingredient. There are typically 2 types of products.... a bottle of concentrated salicylic acid, or in adhesive pads treated with salicylic acid. This method requires a lot of work which includes constant cleaning of the area, applying the product, and removing the dead skin with an emery board. Unless you are loaded with patience, forget it! It can take 10 or more weeks to get rid of a wart.
Doctor Prescribed Remedies....
You can always go to a doctor and spend a small fortune using prescription medications. These are some of the treatments a doctor might do:
- Imiquimod, a topical cream that helps the body's immune system fight the wart virus by encouraging interferon production
- Candida injections at the site of the wart, which also stimulate the body's immune system
- Cryosurgery, which involves freezing the wart, after which the wart and surrounding dead skin falls off by itself.
- Cryosurgery followed by surgically removing the infected spot.
- Treatment with chemical compounds, containing salicylic acid, blistering agents, immune system modifiers, or Formaldehyde
- Laser treatment
Like the Doctor precribed methods, this will need to be repeated over and over to obtain desired results. You also risk damage to healthy skin, as this method also can cause harm to healthy skin tissue in the process. You don't need to use harsh chemicals in order to remove Warts of any type.
HouseHold Remedies....
Medical or Duct tape therapy involves placing the tape over the area for a period of one week at a time. This method obtains results similar to using products that contain salicylic acid. I don't know about you, but walking around with a piece of duct tape on the back of my hand for a week is a bit over the top! Unless duct tape becomes a fashionable item to wear, this might not be the best way to remove warts.
The fact is, to rid yourself of Warts permanently requires killing the entire Wart. Most of these methods won't provide permanent results in one treatment. Now that you have seen some of these treatments laid out for you, I'm sure you can imagine there must be a better way. There Is! You don't have to walk around with those embarrassing Warts anymore.
