What Are Warts?
Introduction: Warts are small, skin-coloured, rough lumps on the skin. They often appear on the hands and feet and look different depending on where they are on the body and how thick the skin is.

A wart on the sole of the foot is called a verruca.

Genital warts are warts found on the genitals and around the rectum. Warts are caused by infection with a virus called human papilloma virus (HPV). The HPV virus causes a hard protein called keratin in the top layer of the skin (the epidermis) to grow too much, producing the rough, hard texture of a wart. Warts are usually harmless, but they can look unattractive. They often clear up by themselves, although treatment can help to get rid of them more quickly.
Warts aren’t normally painful, although verrucas can sometimes hurt. Warts are very contagious. The skin cells in warts release thousands of viruses, so close skin-to-skin contact can pass on the infection. However, it can take weeks or even months for a wart, verruca, or genital warts to appear after you’ve caught the infection. People with weak immune systems (the part of the body that fights infection) are more likely to get warts. This is because the body is less able to fight off the HPV virus.

Most people develop warts at some point in their life, usually before the age of 20. About 1 in 10 people in the UK have warts at any one time. Genital warts are the most common sexually transmitted infection in the UK. Symptoms Warts can be different sizes, ranging from 1mm to over 1cm.

You may have only one or two warts, or lots can develop on the same area of skin. The size and shape of warts varies: • Common wart (verruca vulgaris) - is a firm, raised wart with a rough surface that can look a bit like a cauliflower. They can occur anywhere, but are most common on the knuckles, knees and fingers. • Plane wart (verruca plana) - is a round, flat topped, yellowish type of wart. They mainly occur on the back of the hands, especially around the nails and fingers. • Filiform wart (verruca filiformis) - is a long, slender wart that is common on the thin skin of the eyelids, armpits or neck. • Genital warts (condylomata acuminata) can be small, white lumps or larger, cauliflower-shaped growths on the penis, scrotum or vulva (the female external sex organs), or around the rectum.
Warts can also develop inside the vagina or anus. Genital warts on the vulva are usually soft because the skin here is moist and hairless. Genital warts that develop on skin that is dry and hairy (such as the shaft of the penis) tend to be firm. The number of warts that develop varies.

Some people have a few that are hardly noticeable, while others have a lot. Genital warts do not usually cause any symptoms, although they may be itchy if they are around the anus. However, the warts may be a sign of a sexually transmitted infection (STI), or, in rare cases, cancer. • Verrucas (planter warts) - are warts on the soles of the feet. Verrucas don’t stick up from the surface of the skin. Instead, the weight of the body pushing down on them makes them grow back into the skin, which can be painful. Verrucas often have a black dot in the centre, surrounded by a hard, white area.

The dot is the blood supply to the wart and the white area is the skin of the wart that is closely packed together. Verrucas that grow in clusters are sometimes called mosaic warts. You should see your GP if you have a wart mole or verruca that bleeds, changes in appearance, or spreads. Causes Warts are caused by different strains of the human papilloma virus (HPV). The virus is present in the skin cells of a wart, and can be passed on through close skin-to-skin contact.

You are more likely to catch the infection if your skin is damaged, or if it is wet or in contact with rough surfaces. For example, public swimming pools are a common place to catch verrucas. People with scratches or cuts on the soles of their feet are especially vulnerable. You can also spread warts to other parts of your own body. For example, if you scratch or bite a wart it can cause the wart to break up and bleed, making it easier for the virus to spread.

People with a weak immune system (as a result of immune system diseases such as AIDS, or as a result of certain treatments such as chemotherapy) are more likely to catch warts. They may develop lots of warts that are particularly difficult to get rid of. Genital warts are caused by a strain of the HPV virus that is passed on during sex, or very close sexual contact. However, most people infected with HPV don’t develop visible warts. You can carry the virus without realising it, and pass it on to other people who may then go on to develop visible genital warts.

Diagnosis Warts and verrucas are easy to recognise. Warts are usually raised growths with a hard uneven surface. A verruca may have been pushed in by the weight of your body and so appear as an area of very white skin on the sole of your foot, perhaps with a black dot in the centre. Although genital warts can be embarrassing, it is important to have them checked out at your GP surgery or local sexual health (GUM) clinic. This is because genital warts can be caused by a sexually transmitted infection, and in rare cases can be a sign of cervical cancer in women. The doctor or nurse that you see will probably take a swab (sample of cells) from the area, to identify the infection that is causing the warts.

Treatment Most warts clear up without treatment, although this can take years. Natural Mole & Wart EZ Clear™ is a 20 minute, one off treatment. A scab is formed and will naturally dry and fall off in between 7 & 21 days. Natural skin healing will continue with the aid of Camellia Oil. Other types of treatment can be painful, and there is no guarantee that the warts wont come back again. Treatment options depend on where the warts are and how many there are. Options include: • Over-the-counter treatments - A variety of creams, gels, paints and medicated plasters are available from pharmacies. Most of these contain salicylic acid as their active ingredient. Salicylic acid and other wart treatments also destroy healthy skin. You need to rub the dead tissue off from the top of the wart once a week with a pumice stone or emery board. It usually takes months of continuous treatment for the wart to go completely, if indeed it does. • Cryotherapy - Destroys the cells. A sore blister develops, followed by a scab.

Treatment can be painful, so you might need a local anaesthetic beforehand. Cryotherapy treatment is usually carried out at hospital skin clinics or at your GP surgery. Large warts sometimes need to be frozen several times, a week or so apart, before they clear. • Surgery - Surgery to remove warts is carried out under general or local anaesthetic. Warts can be cut out of the skin or the skin of the wart can be scraped off with a spoon-like instrument called a curette. • Laser treatment - in which the wart is destroyed using a very precise laser beam - and electrocautery, in which the wart is burnt off using an electric current. Complications A sudden outbreak of a large number of genital warts suggests there could be a problem with your immune system. It’s important to see your GP immediately if this happens. Certain types of HPV have been linked with cervical cancer. However, the types of HPV that cause visible genital warts do not increase the risk of cervical cancer.

Women with genital warts should have cervical smear tests at the normal, routine intervals. Prevention To reduce your risk of getting a wart or verruca: • dont touch other peoples warts, • don't scratch or pick at a wart as this may spread the infection to other parts of your body, • don't share towels, flannels or other personal items with a person who has a wart, • don't share shoes or socks with someone who has a verruca, and wear flip-flops in communal showers and in swimming pool changing areas. If you have a verruca, you should cover it with a plaster when you go swimming. If you have a wart on your hand you should wear gloves if you are using communal equipment (for example, in a gym).

To avoid catching genital warts, you should practice safe sex. The best way to do this is to use condoms. However, condoms don’t cover the entire genital area, and are usually put on after sexual contact has begun, so the virus that causes genital warts can still be passed on. You should use a condom (as well as any other form of contraception you normally use) for 3-6 months following treatment for genital warts. This helps to stop you and your partner getting re-infected. Natural Mole & Wart EZ Clear™ Does NOT contain Bloodroot. The Wart & Mole Remover Co is the UK Sole Distributor

A skin tag is a common, benign (non-cancerous) condition which consists of a bit of skin that projects from the surrounding skin and may appear attached to the skin. Skin tags can vary quite a bit in appearance. They may be smooth or irregular, flesh coloured or more deeply pigmented, and either simply be raised above the surrounding skin or have a stalk (a peduncle) so that the skin tag hangs from the skin.

Skin tags can occur almost anywhere there is skin. However, favourite areas for tags are the eyelids, neck, armpits (axillae), upper chest, and groin.

They are much more common with age, beginning in middle age and they tend to be somewhat more prevalent in women than men.

The outer layer of the skin (the epidermis) shows overgrowth (hyperplasia) and it encloses an underlying layer of skin (the dermis) in which the normally-present collagen fibres appear abnormally loose and swollen. A skin tag is medically termed a Cutaneous Papilloma or an Acrochordon, however, a skin tag is best known as a skin tag.

Treatment

In cases in which a skin tag is irritated or cosmetically unwanted, treatment may be done by freezing the tag with liquid nitrogen, tying off the tag with a thread or suture so as to cut off the blood supply, cutting off (excising) the tag with a scalpel or scissors, or by using our herbal product Natural Mole & Wart EZ Clear™.

If you choose Natural Mole & Wart EZ Clear™ treatment is a 20 minute, one off treatment. A scab is formed and will naturally dry and fall off in between 7 & 21 days. Natural skin healing will continue with the aid of Camellia Oil.

 

 

What Are Moles?
Introduction Moles are small dark marks on the skin. They are caused by cells in the skin that produce pigment (colour). Moles are usually brownish, although some may be darker or skin-coloured. Moles can be flat or raised, smooth or rough, and some have hair growing from them. Moles are usually circular or oval in shape with a smooth edge. Some moles are present at birth. These are called Congenital Melanonaevi.

Moles can start to look different over time and sometimes respond to hormonal changes, such as during pregnancy, adolescence and the menopause. Seborrhoeic Keratoses are moles that are common in older people who have spent a lot of time in the sun. The edge of the mole is quite faint and they’re usually raised from the surface of the skin.

Most moles are normal and harmless, but in a few cases they can develop into melanoma, a type of skin cancer. Malignant melanoma is the most serious type of skin cancer and is usually caused by short periods of strong sunlight such as on a two-week holiday. Malignant melanoma can appear anywhere on the body. It may be a dark, fast-growing spot where there wasn’t already a mole, or a mole you already have that changes size, shape or colour, and bleeds, itches or reddens. However, you should see your GP if a mole looks unusual so it can be checked out. Your GP will ask you about recent changes that have happened to the mole and when the changes started.

If the mole shows signs of turning malignant (cancerous) your GP may recommend cutting out a sample (biopsy) of all or part of the mole. If the mole is a suspected melanoma, you may be referred to a plastic surgeon or dermatologist

Moles are usually surgically removed using one of the following methods: Excision (cutting out the mole), sometimes with stitches, or Excision with cauterisation (a tool is used to burn away the mole). Whether you have stitches or not depends on how big and deep the mole is, and how much of a scar it will leave. Before a mole is removed, the area of skin is cleaned, and numbed with a local anaesthetic. For removal without stitches, the surgeon uses a scalpel to scrape off the mole so that its level with or slightly below the skin. Moles that need stitches after they’re removed are usually large, darker and/or flat. The surgeon cuts away the mole and some of the surrounding skin, depending on the risk of cancer and if any abnormal cells could have spread. 

Moles are sometimes removed for cosmetic reasons even if they are harmless, for example if a person has a mole they think is large and unsightly and is affecting their self-esteem and confidence. This is when you should choose Natural Mole & Wart EZ Clear™. Mole & Wart Remover is a 20 minute, one off treatment. A scab is formed and will naturally dry and fall off in between 7 & 21 days. Natural skin healing will continue with the aid of Camellia Oil.

Check your moles every couple of months for any changes. Look out for the following: • Moles that get a lot bigger, most moles are no bigger than the width of a pencil. • Moles with uneven colouring, most moles only have one or two colours, but melanomas have lots of different shades. • Moles with an uneven or ragged edge, moles are usually circular or oval with a smooth border. • Bleeding, itching, red, inflamed or crusty moles (that haven’t been picked or caught on something) that don’t get better in a couple of weeks. • The appearance of a new mole that looks irregular or unusual. Its normal to develop new moles as you get older, but you should get them checked out by your GP if the colours patchy or the edges are uneven.

However, one in ten of us have a mole that’s abnormal (dysplastic nevi), and more likely to turn into a melanoma than a normal mole. Abnormal moles are usually flat, fairly large moles. They tend to have irregular borders and uneven colour, sometimes showing lots of different shades. Abnormal moles are sometimes wrongly diagnosed as melanoma because they can look very similar.

Your risk of melanoma is also increased if you have a lot of moles more than about 25. You should be very careful in the sun and check your moles regularly for any sign of change.

Wart Mole Remover UK - remove warts moles skin tags Mole & Wart EZ Clear

A mole, technically known as a melanocytic nevus, is a small, dark spot on human skin. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, the majority of moles appear during the first two decades of a person’s life while about one in every 100 babies is born with moles. Acquired moles are a form of benign neoplasm, while congenital moles are considered a minor malformation or hamartoma. A mole can be either subdermal (composed of melanin) or a pigmented growth on the skin, formed mostly of a type of cell known as a melanocyte. The high concentration of the body’s pigmenting agent, melanin, is responsible for their dark colour. Moles are a member of the family of skin lesions known as nevi.

Melanocytic nevi represent a family of lesions. The most common variants are :
Junctional nevus: the nevus cells are located along the junction of the epithelium and the underlying dermis. A junctional nevus is flat and brown to black.
Compound nevus: a mixture of junctional and intradermal proliferation.
Compound nevi are slightly raised and brown to black. Beauty marks are usually compound nevi.
Intradermal nevus: the nevus cells are located in the dermis only. Intradermal nevi are raised; most are flesh-colored (not pigmented).
Dysplastic nevus (nevus of Clark): usually a compound nevus with cellular and architectural dysplasia. They tend to be larger (more than 6 mm), with irregular borders and irregular coloration. Hence, they resemble melanoma, appear worrisome and are often removed to clarify the diagnosis. Dysplastic nevi do not transform into melanoma but are a marker of risk when they are numerous (atypical mole syndrome).
Blue nevus: It is blue in colour as its melanocytes are very deep in the skin. The nevus cells are spindle shaped and scattered in deep layers of the dermis. The covering epidermis is normal.
Spitz nevus: a distinct variant of intradermal nevus, usually in a child. They are raised and reddish (non-pigmented). A pigmented variant, called the nevus of Reed, typically appears on the leg of young women.
Giant Hairy Nevus: these large, pigmented, often hairy congenital nevi. They are important because melanoma may occasionally (10 to 15%) appear in them.
Intramucosal nevus: junctional nevus of the mucosa of the mouth or genital areas. In the mouth, they are found most frequently on the hard palate.
Nevus of Ito and Nevus of Ota: congenital, flat brownish lesions on the face or shoulder. Mongolian spot: congenital large, deep, bluish discoloration on the back of Asian babies.

Mole History
At one time in the 1950s and 60s, (and, to lesser extent, currently) a mole was known as a "beauty mark" when it appeared in certain spots on a woman’s face. Examples include Marilyn Monroe, model Cindy Crawford and singer Madonna. Madonna's facial mole -- below her right nostril -- has been surgically removed.
Almost everyone with light skin has at least one or two moles somewhere on their bodies while large numbers can be concentrated on the back, chest, and arms. Darker skin shades, however, tend to have fewer moles. Some folklore about moles includes the notion that picking at a mole can cause it to become cancerous or grow back larger. While chronic picking or irritation (by clothing) of a mole can be detrimental in many ways, it has not been associated with a higher incidence of cancer. But while a mole may sometimes be removed by its bearer and may not grow back larger, the resulting scar can be larger. When a mole is bothersome, physicians usually recommend that it be examined by a dermatologist to see if it should be removed. The dermatologist or plastic surgeon can perform the procedure with an eye toward preventing a larger scar.

Cause and prevention
Genes can have an influence on a person's moles. Dysplastic nevi and atypical mole syndrome is a hereditary condition which causes the person to have a large quantity of moles (often 100 or more) with some larger than normal or atypical. This often leads to a higher risk of melanoma, a serious skin cancer. In the overall population, a slight majority of melanomas do not form in an existing mole, but rather create a new growth on the skin. Nevertheless, those with dysplastic nevi are at a higher risk of melanoma occurring not only where there is an existing mole, but surprisingly, also where there are none. Such persons need to be checked regularly for any changes in their moles and to note any new ones.

Sunlight
Some scientists suspect that overexposure to ultraviolet light (UV), including excessive sunlight, may play a role in the formation of acquired moles. However, more research is needed to determine the complicated relationship between one's heredity and overall exposure to ultraviolet light. A strong indication that this is so (but falling short of proof), is the relative lack of moles on the buttocks of people with dysplastic nevi. Another is that freckles (spots of melanin on the skin, and distinct from moles) are known to be influenced by sunlight. Studies have found that sunburns and too much time in the sun can increase the risk factors for melanoma. This is in addition to those who have dysplastic nevi being at higher risk of this cancer. (The uncertainty is in regard to acquiring benign moles.) The American Academy of Dermatology recommends staying out of the sun between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. standard time (or whenever your shadow is shorter than your height).

Appearance
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, the most common types of moles are skin tags, raised moles and flat moles. Un-troublesome moles are usually circular or oval and not very large. Some moles typically produce dark, coarse hair that can be cause for social rejection. Common mole hair removal procedures include plucking, cosmetic waxing, electrolysis, threading and cauterization.

Differentiation from melanoma
It often requires a dermatologist to fully evaluate moles. For instance, a small blue or bluish black spot, often called a blue nevus, is usually benign but often mistaken for melanoma. Conversely, a junctional nevus, which develops at the junction of the dermis and epidermis, is potentially cancerous. A basic reference chart used for consumers to spot suspicious moles is found in the mnemonic, A-B-C-D. The letters stand for Asymmetry, Border, Color and Diameter. Sometimes, the letter E (for Elevation) is added. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, if a mole starts changing in size, colour, shape or, especially, if the border of a mole develops ragged edges or becomes larger than a pencil eraser, it would be an appropriate time to consult with a physician. Other warning signs include a mole, even if smaller than a pencil eraser, that is different than the others and begins to crust over, bleed, itch, or becomes inflamed. The changes may indicate developing melanomas. The matter can become clinically complicated because mole removal depends on which types of cancer, if any, comes into suspicion.

Mole removal
If a mole is suspected of being a melanoma, it needs to be removed and sent for microscopic evaluation by a pathologist. Other reasons for removal may be cosmetic, or because a raised mole interferes with daily life (e.g. shaving). Removal can be by excisional biopsy or by shaving. A shaved site leaves a red mark on the site which returns to the patient’s usual skin color in about two weeks. However, there might still be a risk of spread of the melanoma, so the methods of Melanoma diagnosis, including e.g. excisional biopsy. Moles can be removed by laser, surgery or electrocautery. In properly trained hands, some medical lasers are used to remove flat moles level with the surface of the skin, as well as some raised moles. While laser treatment is commonly offered and may require several appointments, other dermatologists think lasers are not the best method for removing moles because the laser only cauterizes or, in certain cases, removes very superficial levels of skin. Moles tend to go deeper into the skin than non-invasive lasers can penetrate. After a laser treatment a scab is formed, which falls off about seven days later, in contrast to surgery, where the wound has to be sutured. For surgery, many dermatologic and plastic surgeons first use a freezing solution, usually liquid nitrogen, on a raised mole and then shave it away with a scalpel. If the surgeon opts for the shaving method, he or she usually also cauterizes the stump. Because a circle is difficult to close with stitches, the incision is usually elliptical or eye-shaped. Electrocautery is also used for removing skin tags and only reaches the outermost level of skin so that scarring is not a problem.

Scars

Scars are areas of fibrous tissue that replace normal skin (or other tissue) after injury. A scar results from the biologic process of wound repair in the skin and other tissues of the body. Thus, scarring is a natural part of the healing process. With the exception of very minor lesions, every wound (e.g. after accident, disease, or surgery) results in some degree of scarring. Scar tissue is not identical to the tissue which it replaces and is usually of inferior functional quality. For example, scars in the skin are less resistant to ultraviolet radiation, and sweat glands and hair follicles do not grow back within scar tissue.

How scarring occurs

A scar is a natural part of the healing process. Skin scars occur when the deep, thick layer of skin (the dermis) is damaged. The worse the damage is, the worse the scar will be. Most skin scars are flat, pale and leave a trace of the original injury which caused them. The redness that often follows an injury to the skin is not a scar, and is generally not permanent. The time it takes for it to go away may, however, range from a few days to, in some serious and rare cases, several years. Various treatments can speed up the process in serious cases. Scars form differently based on the location of the injury on the body and the age of the person who was injured. To mend the damage, the body has to lay down new collagen fibres (a naturally occurring protein which is produced by the body). Recent research has implicated the gene osteopontin in scarring and developed a gel that inhibits the process  This process results in a fortuna scar. Because the body cannot re-build the tissue exactly as it was, the new scar tissue will have a different texture and quality than the surrounding normal tissue. An injury does not become a scar until the wound has completely healed. Transforming Growth Factors (TGF) play a critical role in scar development and current research is investigating the manipulation of these TGFs for drug development to prevent scarring from the emergency (and rather inappropriate) adult wound healing process. As well, a recent American study implicated the protein Ribosomal s6 kinase (RSK) in the formation of scar tissue and found that the introduction of a chemical to counteract RSK could halt the formation of Cirrhosis. This treatment also has the potential to reduce or even prevent altogether other types of scarring.

Abnormal scars

Two types of scars are the result of the body overproducing collagen, which causes the scar to be raised above the surrounding skin. Hypertrophic scars take the form of a red raised lump on the skin, but do not grow beyond the boundaries of the original wound, and they often improve in appearance after a few years.

Keloid scars are a more serious form of scarring, because they can carry on growing indefinitely into a large, tumorous (although benign) growth. Both hypertrophic and keloid scars are more common on younger and darker-skinned people. They can occur on anyone, but some people have a genetic susceptibility to these types of scarring. They can be caused by surgery, an accident, or sometimes by acne. Keloid scars can also develop from body piercing. In some people, keloid scars form spontaneously.

Although they can be a cosmetic problem, keloid scars are only inert masses of collagen and therefore completely harmless and non-contagious. However, they can be itchy or painful in some individuals. They tend to be most common on the shoulders and chest. Keloid scars are most common among people of Asian or African descent. Alternately, a scar can take the form of a sunken recess in the skin, which has a pitted appearance. These are caused when underlying structures supporting the skin, such as fat or muscle, are lost. This type of scarring is commonly associated with acne, but can be caused by chickenpox, surgery or an accident. Scars can also take the form of stretched skin. These are called striae and are caused when the skin is stretched rapidly (for instance during pregnancy, significant weight gain or adolescent growth spurts), or when skin is put under tension during the healing process, (usually near joints). This type of scar usually improves in appearance after a few years.

Treatments for skin scars

No scar can ever be completely removed and treatments will always leave a trace, but a number of approaches have been tried with silicon gel sheeting and steroid injections having the most widely accepted role in general scar treatment. In historical sequence, corticosteroid therapy by injection into the scars was introduced in the 1960s, from the early 1970s pressure garment therapy was introduced for widespread burn scars, and silicone gel sheets.

Topical treatments Silicone gel sheets are claimed to help flatten and soften raised scars if worn regularly Silicone sheets are easier to use and with lower risks of side effects compared to surgical excision, steroid injections, pressure therapy, laser and cryotherapy treatments.
