Children have skin problems just like adults, and warts are a growth on the skin found even in children. Being not particularly pleasant to see, adults like to get their warts removed. It is now seen that parents of children having warts want to get the children’s warts removed. But this is not as simple as it is for adults. Warts can be removed in many ways, but all the methods cannot be used on children.
Removing warts from a child’s skin can be considered keeping the child’s age in mind. Toddlers’ warts can be removed by only the safest method, though other methods can be tried on teenagers. The young skin is extremely sensitive and no mark must be left behind. Therefore, whatever procedure is adopted, utmost caution has to be maintained.
The best place to get warts removed is at the doctor’s clinic. The child’s physician must be asked to recommend a dermatologist for children, who will effectively and professionally remove the child’s warts. Their charges might be a little higher but many insurance companies cover wart removal surgery. Many dermatologists offer payment plan options, and therefore, the entire amount does not have to be paid upfront.
Many people recommend home remedies for wart removal and swear by the techniques applied. These seem tempting as compared to the phenomenal fees charged by the dermatologist, but it must be remembered that they can cause unlimited damage to the skin and leave behind scars. Such risks must certainly not be taken for children.
Once home remedies are ruled out, another option available is the over-the-counter wart removal packs. Scores of companies manufacturing beauty care products have solutions to warts, which they claim are tried and tested. Even the child’s primary care physician can recommend a safe brand to purchase for removing the child’s warts. The packs contain details of ingredients and the product description contains sufficient information to help the parent decide whether it is safe to use on children.
The best method to be adopted for children always is to at least consult a recommended dermatologist, even if one has no intentions of using his services for removing the child’s warts. Their advice would give a true picture of the wart condition and whether it is preferable to wait before removing the warts. If the child is not conscious or uncomfortable about his/her warts, one can wait till the child is a bit older. The most important thing to remember for children is that their delicate skin must be handled with utmost care so that they are not scarred for life.
