In this article, we are discussing some myths which many people consider to be true. If you want to know about warts, then it’s imperative that you steer clear of these myths and know the science behind them. Let’s dive into 3 myths about Warts which are impossible to believe!
Toads Cause Warts
This is lame to believe; why? Because Warts are a product of the HPV virus and toads, amphibians cannot transmit or carry the virus within their tissues. The secretions from the toad’s skin can indeed cause irritations on your skin and eyes, but they can never infect you with warts. Of course, the new generation of kids today is tempted to associate nature with some of these maladies, probably because they aren’t exposed to nature. But we, the older generation, can prove some of these things since we used to play outdoors. I can attest that toads don’t cause warts since I played with them all my young life. Warts are caused by HPV and can be easily cured with Wartrol.
Warts Are The Early Signs Of Cancer
This myth has caused a lot of people to panic after noticing that they have warts on their skin. The fear is that cancer is on its way, and they might be diagnosed very soon. Well, this is just a myth, and the relationship between warts and cancer is vague. I would say personally that the graveness of the wart depends on the part that the growth is developing. If you notice warts on your fingers and foot soles, this is probably nothing more than a normal periungual or plantar warts infection. However, if you find warts growing around your mouth and in your genitals, that is a serious situation.
Although warts don’t directly cause cancer, the tumors tend to predispose one to cancer, especially in the areas with soft tissues like the labia or the tip of the penis. Warts are not early signs of cancer, but if not treated early enough, they may catalyze the development and spread of cancerous infections. The HPV virus strain that causes genital and oral warts has been diagnosed in many patients with cervical cancer, meaning that there may be a relationship between warts in some bogy areas and cancer. But of course, you don’t expect mosaic warts on your foot sole to cause cervical cancer; that’s lame too.
Warts Don’t Regenerate After The First Treatment
Most people also get this point wrong, warts are a viral infection, and once they develop on your skin, it means that the Human Papillomavirus is already in your bloodstream. The journey doesn’t end there if you can eliminate the wart on the skin through surgery or cryotherapy. You have to get medication to help suppress the papillomavirus in your bloodstream. Failure to do this in the HPV virus will find another suitable region of your body and trigger the growth of yet another wart. Certain drugs and vaccines can be injected to help suppress the HPV virus. HPV vaccines and suppressants are available in most reputable hospitals and work best when you get them at the age of 26 or younger. So if you’ve ever been infected with a wart that healed on its own, don’t get satisfied as it may grow again. You should therefore seek an HPV test and vaccine to be on the safer side.
