What causes warts on the hand? How to cure them?
Hand warts are the most common warts in most people, present in almost 10% of the total population. These warts are highly contagious and easily spread from one person to the other. One of the most common causes of warts on hands is contact with someone who is already infected with Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). However, there could be other causes of warts on hands too, some of which include:
- Cuts on the hands or bruises, through which the virus can enter the body
- An infection on the skin of the hands or on the mucus membranes of the body
- Touching an object that has already been touched by a person who has hand warts
There are a few natural wart removal remedies that do take a bit longer, but can help you get rid of the warts within a couple of weeks. Given below are some of the most commonly recommended natural wart removal techniques:
- Rub the inside of a banana peel on to the wart each night.
- Dip a piece of cotton in some 3% hydrogen peroxide and hold it against the wart. This remedy may sting a bit, but it needs to be repeated a couple of times each day.
- Using a piece of cotton, apply some apple cider vinegar directly on to the wart. For best results use raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar.
These remedies are quite safe if used correctly, but it is best to get a doctor’s approval before trying any of them.
