Warts are a common skin affliction that is caused by the Human Papilloma Virus. This virus gets into the skin through cuts on the skin's epidermis and causes a minor infection that is non-uncancerous but easily spreads to the other body parts. They become pinkish in color and can sprout on the hands, feet, face and other areas that are prone to cuts or nicks. It is also somewhat embarrassing to talk about, though 40% have been or will be afflicted with warts in their lifetimes. Warts are relatively simple to remove and there are different options available for one to get rid of the wart. There are natural remedies, surgeries and over-the counter remedies. Over-the-counter medicines are generally considered to be the best wart removal products compared to other means. The best wart removal products in the market are those that contain Salicylic acid. Salicylic acid is an ingredient extracted from plants that has various medicinal and cosmetic purposes. It is used in various forms to create other drugs, like aspirin. Salicylic acid is most known for it's positive effect on the skin cells, so it can treat skin blemishes like stubborn acne, calluses and corns. Wart remedies containing salicylic acid are usually available in two form lasters and concentrated salicylic acid in bottle form. These medicines are inexpensive and readily available at any drugstore. Plasters are put on the affected area and changed daily. The plaster ensures that the skin is warm and moist, thus softening the wart while the salicylic acid works to heal the skin and remove the wart. Concentrated salicylic acid in bottle form is usually the most effective and the best wart removal product available. It is applied on the wart using a brush and helps in drying out the wart (since it is not covered) and the wart falls out after a while.
