管道胶带：治疗疣的有效方法

Dr. 假面: You look at your child's hand and see a bump and you know it is a wart. Do you rush to the doctor or can you treat it at home?

什么是疣?

Dr. 假面: So warts are raised, round, rough surface growths on 皮肤. They occur most often on the hands and they're not painful unless they're on the bottom of the foot and that's called a plantar wart. They can also hurt if you child keeps picking at them and they get infected. Unlike a callus, a wart has brown dots in it and has a clear boundary with normal skin around it.

Warts are caused by papillomavirus and are harmless actually. Most warts disappear without treatment in two or three years and with treatment they're gone in two to three months. So how can you take care of these unsightly warts?

如何用胶带治疗疣

First it sounds strange but cover the wart with duct tape. I know, doesn't it just seem like duct tape fixes everything? 你应该:

• Cover the wart with a small piece of duct tape just like you would use a band-aid. Warts deprived of air and sun exposure sometimes die without the need for topical treatments.
• Remove the tape once a week, wash 皮肤, and rub off any dead wart tissue. After it has dried thoroughly overnight, re-apply the duct tape.

The tape treatment may be needed for eight weeks. So find some cool duct tape that your child will like wearing.

使用管道胶带 & 疣药物治疗更快的结果

To get faster results with duct tape, use an over-the-counter wart medicine. 最好的含有17%的水杨酸.

• Put the medicine on the wart once a day enough to cover the entire wart. Be aware, do this in a well ventilated area, because the acid stinks.
• Cover the wart with duct tape after you put the medicine on the wart and the medicine has dried.
• Make sure you don't get any of this medicine near the eyes or the mouth. The medicine will turn the top of the wart into dead skin and it will all turn white.
• 一周一两次, remove the dead wart material by rubbing the dead skin off with a pumice stone or washcloth. The dead wart will be softer and easier to remove if you soak the area first in warm water for 10 minutes.

疣会传染吗？? 如何防止它们传播

Warts are contagious but mainly to the child that has the warts. 它们不会传染给其他人.

如果你的孩子咀嚼或吮吸疣, cover the area with duct tape and change it as often as necessary. 鼓励你的孩子改掉这个习惯, because chewing on the warts can cause warts on the lips and or the face. If that happens, your child needs a trip to a dermatologist.

Warts can look ugly but we pretty much all have them at some point in our lives. By knowing how to treat them fast and right away, you can make these ugly bumps go away quickly.
