Warts are non-living infections, that’s what makes them so hard to kill. A wart is caused by a virus called human papilloma virus and I’m sure you’ve heard of this resilient little sucker. Like a cold, there is no “cure” for a wart because it is a virus. Antibiotics don’t work on viruses because they aren’t technically alive. There are three types of the HPV virus that cause the common warts, aptly named 1,2 and you guessed it, 3.
Type 1 warts are often associated with deep plantar warts, on the sole of the feet, and palmar warts, on the palm of the hand.
Type 2 of the virus causes common, mosaic plantar, filiform, and plantar warts.
Type 3 of the virus causes plane warts which are commonly called flat warts. HPV types 6 and 11 cause almost all genital warts.
All of the common warts can be treated with traditional methods, but none of them worked for me and they were all incredibly painful and tedious.
My name is Justin Mills and I've just finished my BBA at Berkeley and I'm trying to decide what to do next. Up until university started, even into it a bit, I had warts all over my hands. It culminated with about twenty of them taking residence on the backs of my hands and the last one to go was a really nasty sucker under my left thumbnail. Anyways, I did finally get rid of them (after more than a decade) and wanted to help you guys out with the same problem.
