Don't Worry, Be Wart Free!

Don’t Worry, Be Wart Free!

No part of our body is immune to warts. They can pop up just about anywhere.

Contrary to popular belief, they are not caused by contact with frogs and toads. They are, however, caused by skin-to-skin contact.

There are different kinds of warts: Plantar warts usually have a flesh-colored or light brown lumps which appear on the soles of the feet.

They may cause mild pain, bleeding, and itching. HPV is said to be the culprit. This wart-causing virus starts out as a skin infection then rapidly evolves into unsightly growths known as warts.

Flat warts are more common in teens and children than in adults. They usually appear on the face and are smoother, flatter, and smaller as compared to other types. They can also grow on the legs, most usually in women.

Luckily, not all warts last forever. You can be wart free!

Once warts become unsightly or painful, then it’s time to consider getting them treated. Often, when warts start to spread, this may indicate the need for prompt treatment.

Aside from electrocautery, the most effective treatment for large, hard-to-cure warts. To top it all off, this type of treatment causes no scarring.

Say Sayonara to Stretch Marks!

Change is a natural part of living.

Lines and wrinkles form on our faces as we age. Scars are left as reminders of old wounds and acne. And when a rapid change in our body’s size occurs, stretch marks often surface. Though the appearance of these lines are usually an effect of pregnancy or rapid weight loss, it has been also linked to genetics.

Depending on your skin’s natural complexion, stretch marks can appear pink, reddish brown, brown, or dark brown. Some fade in time and take on a more silvery hue.

Early treatment and prevention is the key to minimizing the appearance of stretch marks. Most doctors would agree that stretch marks are the most difficult to treat dermatologically.

There are numerous homemade remedies that have been proven to be effective: There’s cocoa butter or egg oil as well as Lavender or Rose oil. Some also choose to use Glycolic acid, Vitamin C creams or serum and retinoid because it stimulates the production of collagen.

But the most recommended is a cream which contains Sesame Oil, Shea Butter, and Vitamin E.

However, for a deeper and more potent effect, laser skin resurfacing is a highly recommended option because it promotes the production of new collagen.

Though these marks can never be fully erased, it is important to know how to minimize them to be able to look and feel good all over.
