WARTS CLEARANCE

Warts and the HPV virus can be eliminated from the body.

Warts are skin lesions created by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Treating these lesions is an important step towards eliminating the HPV virus from the body, but it is not sufficient on its own. For the HPV virus to be completely eradicated from the body, it is necessary to understand the life cycle of the virus and prevent its multiplication and spread to neighboring cells. This may require significant lifestyle changes.

If the warts are located in the genital area, it is recommended to get the HPV vaccine to prevent the spread of HPV to neighboring cells. However, the effectiveness of the HPV vaccine for warts on the hands and feet is uncertain. To avoid further irritation and spread of the wart, it is important to avoid contact with irritants such as razors, hair removal creams, exfoliating mitts, or wax in the area where the wart is located.

To prevent the transmission of genital warts between partners, it is important for both partners to have the HPV vaccine and use condoms for protection during the vaccination period. In addition, promptly treating a wart as soon as it forms is important in order to prevent its spread and to reduce the viral load.

In recent years, a drug (inosine pranobex) has been developed to prevent the recurrence of warts, and the use of this drug may play a significant role within the overall treatment strategy.

Quitting smoking can also boost the immune system in the tissue where HPV is located, thereby assisting in the elimination of the HPV virus from the body.

The time it takes to eliminate HPV from the body can vary depending on the type of HPV. The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a virus that has more than 300 different types. These types are classified as low-risk (for example, HPV 6 and 11) and high-risk (for example, HPV 16 and 18).

The average time to eliminate HPV from the body is about 1-2 years for low-risk types and about 3-4 years for high-risk types. This depends on the strength of the individual's immune system and the type of virus. Also, it has been observed that some people have more difficulty eliminating HPV from their body. For example, people who smoke or have a weakened immune system (such as those with HIV/AIDS or organ transplants) may struggle more with eliminating the virus from their bodies.
