Introduction
As homeopaths, we have to deal with many cases of warts in our practice. These small, coarse lumps of the skin might be an inconvenience for the people affected which can lead to embarrassment sometimes. In this article, I will explain my knowledge and experience to help you understand warts better and the benefits of homeopathic treatment.
Causes of Warts
Warts are caused by several strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). This virus enters the skin through micro-injuries, or it can be present causing rapid cell proliferation and eventually warts. From my side, factors like a weak immune system, direct contact with warts, and moist conditions may possibly result in warts.
Symptoms
From my findings, warts come in different forms. They are of various colors and shapes depending on their type and location. Among them are these most likely:
Small, rough bumps on the skin,
Grainy texture with tiny black dots (clotted blood vessels),
Pain or tenderness especially when pressure is applied
The application of scratching or touching to other parts of the body
Disadvantages of Allopathic Treatment
Even though allopathy treatment may be effective, I have noticed some weak points:
It may cause painful procedures such as cryotherapy or surgical removal,
Scarring possibility,
It may come back again,
Effects of ointment application,
The main cause of warts that the existing treatment does not focus on

In my practice, several positive aspects of homeopathy include:
Gentle, non-invasive treatment
When properly done, this treatment does not cause side effects,
Can be resolved by identifying the vulnerability to warts,
Usually the general immunity is boosted by it
Reducing the chances of the recurrence by treating the whole person, and not just the disease.
