Best Herbal Remedies For Warts

WartsWarts are irregular oval or round small growths on the skin.  They are either single or appear in clusters and have a rough surface. They usually appear on the face, neck, forehead, arms, hands, feet and other parts of the body and are caused by a virus known as human papillomavirus.

The warts are contagious and if they are nicked or picked, they may easily spread to the other parts of the body. Genital warts are spread through sex. They appear on the genitals, pubic area, area between the thighs and sometimes also inside the vagina. Though most of the warts are harmless and do not cause any pain, some warts can be painful as well as itchy. Discolored ugly bumps of dark skin certainly detract from your appearance and turn out to be a source of great embarrassment.
