Introduction

Warts and viral skin growths are among the most common dermatological issues in the UAE. Whether they appear on the fingers, hands, feet, or face, these small, rough bumps can be uncomfortable, contagious, and aesthetically distressing. Although warts are generally harmless, they can persist for months or even years without proper treatment.

Warts occur due to a viral infection, but their development primarily depends on the strength of an individual’s immune system. When immunity is compromised—due to stress, illness, or lifestyle habits—the virus multiplies rapidly in the skin’s outer layer. Strengthening immunity naturally helps the body fight the virus from within.

Homeopathy, known for its gentle, natural, and side-effect-free approach, supports the immune system, promotes natural wart regression, and reduces recurrence. Dr Batra’s® UAE integrates homeopathy with advanced technology to offer safe and effective wart management.

What Are Warts and What Causes Them?

A wart is a small, benign skin growth caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). The virus enters the skin through tiny cuts, abrasions, or weak spots, leading to rapid cell growth in the top layer of the skin.

Different Types of Warts

  1. Common Warts (Verruca vulgaris):

    • Appear on hands, fingers, and around nails
    • Rough, raised, and often grainy

  2. Plantar Warts:

    • Found on the soles of the feet
    • Flattened due to walking pressure
    • May cause pain or tenderness

  3. Flat Warts:

    • Small, smooth, slightly elevated
    • Common on the face, neck, arms, and legs
    • Often appear in clusters

  4. Genital Warts:

    • Caused by specific strains of HPV
    • Appear around the genital or anal area
    • Require confidential medical evaluation

How Do Warts Spread? Understanding HPV Transmission

Warts spread when the HPV virus transfers through:

  • Direct skin-to-skin contact
  • Shared surfaces (towels, gym equipment, poolside floors)
  • Nail biting or picking
  • Cuts and abrasions

Warm, humid climates like the UAE can make viral survival and transmission easier.

Why Do Some People Get Warts While Others Don’t?

Two people can touch the same infected surface, but only one may develop warts. The difference lies in their immune system.

Factors Increasing Wart Risk

  • Weakened immunity
  • High stress levels
  • Excess sweating
  • Skin injuries
  • Warm and humid environments
  • Sharing personal items
  • Genetic susceptibility

Children and teens are more prone because their immune systems are still developing.

What Is the Connection Between Warts and the Immune System?

A healthy immune system recognizes HPV early and prevents wart formation. If immunity is weakened, the virus settles into the skin and multiplies.

How Immunity Influences Warts:

  • Strong Immunity: The body fights HPV effectively → no warts.
  • Weakened Immunity: Warts appear easily and may spread.
  • Compromised Immunity: Warts become multiple, persistent, or recurrent.

This is why treatments focused solely on removing the wart (burning, cutting, freezing) fail to prevent recurrence. The root cause—the immune susceptibility—must be addressed.

How Homeopathy Helps Strengthen Immunity Against Warts

Homeopathy works on the principle of stimulating the body’s natural healing response. Instead of burning or removing the wart externally, homeopathy strengthens immunity internally to fight the HPV virus.

Benefits of Homeopathic Treatment for Warts

  • Boosts immune response
  • Encourages natural wart regression
  • Prevents recurrence
  • Completely painless and non-invasive
  • Safe for children, adults, pregnant women, and elderly
  • No side effects or skin damage

Common Homeopathic Remedies Used for Warts

  • Thuja Occidentalis
  • Antimonium Crudum
  • Nitric Acid

Each remedy is selected based on the patient’s symptoms, location of wart, emotional triggers, and immune health. No two cases receive the same treatment.

How Natural Remedies and Lifestyle Changes Help Prevent and Treat Warts

Enhancing immunity through diet, hygiene, and natural remedies helps prevent new warts and supports treatment.

Diet Recommendations

  • Antioxidant-rich foods (berries, citrus fruits)
  • Green leafy vegetables
  • Vitamin A, C, E–rich foods
  • Zinc-rich nuts, legumes, seeds
  • Reduce sugar and processed foods

Hygiene Tips

  • Do not pick or scratch warts
  • Keep skin clean and dry
  • Wear slippers in public pools, gyms, prayer areas
  • Avoid sharing towels or grooming items

Stress Reduction

Chronic stress suppresses immunity. Practise:

  • Deep breathing
  • Yoga
  • Adequate sleep
  • Outdoor walks

Natural Topical Options

  • Tea tree oil
  • Aloe vera
  • Apple cider vinegar (with caution)

These support healing but do not replace professional care.

FAQs

What is the main reason for getting warts?

The primary reason people develop warts is exposure to the human papillomavirus (HPV). This virus enters the skin through microscopic cuts, abrasions, or weakened areas. However, HPV exposure alone does not guarantee wart formation. The real deciding factor is the strength of your immune system. A healthy immune system identifies HPV early and prevents it from multiplying. But when immunity is weakened—due to stress, illness, lack of sleep, excessive humidity (common in the UAE), or poor skin care—the virus settles into the skin and triggers abnormal cell growth, resulting in a wart. This is why two people may have identical exposure, yet only one develops warts.

How do warts spread from one person to another?

Warts are highly contagious because HPV thrives on the skin’s surface and in warm, moist environments. They spread through:

  1. Direct contact: Touching a wart on someone else’s skin.
  2. Indirect contact: Touching objects contaminated with HPV, such as towels, gym equipment, floors around swimming pools, or shared manicure/pedicure tools.
  3. Self-spreading (autoinoculation):
    • Scratching, picking, or shaving over a wart
    • Nail biting (especially around finger warts)
    • Touching a wart and then touching another part of your body
The UAE’s warm climate allows viruses like HPV to survive longer on surfaces, increasing the chances of spreading.

What are the most common types of warts?

Warts come in multiple forms, each influenced by the HPV subtype and the area of the skin affected:

  • 1. Common Warts (Verruca Vulgaris)
    • Rough, raised, and grainy
    • Usually appear on hands, fingers, and around nails
    • More common in children and individuals with weak immunity
  • 2. Plantar Warts
    • Occur on the soles of the feet
    • Look flat because walking pressure pushes them inward
    • Often painful and may have small black dots (clotted blood vessels)
    • Common among people who walk barefoot in public areas
  • 3. Flat Warts (Verruca Plana)
    • Smooth, small, flat-topped growths
    • Occur on the face, neck, beard area, legs, and arms
    • More common in younger individuals
  • 4. Genital Warts
    • Soft, fleshy growths around the genital or anal area
    • Caused by specific high-transferability HPV strains
    • Need medically supervised treatment
Understanding the type of wart helps determine the best treatment method and prognosis.

How can I know if I have a wart on my finger?

A wart on the finger is usually easy to identify if you know what to look for. Typical signs include:

  • A small, rough, firm bump that feels grainy
  • Skin-colored, grayish, or brown
  • May disrupt normal skin lines (fingerprints)
  • Often appears near nails where broken cuticles allow HPV entry
  • Not usually painful unless irritated or picked
If the growth changes color, spreads rapidly, or looks unusual, professional diagnosis using 3D Skin Analysis or Wood’s Lamp Examination—available at Dr Batra’s® UAE—can help differentiate a wart from corns, skin tags, or other dermatological conditions.

Can warts be cured permanently with homeopathy?

Homeopathy addresses warts at their root cause: the person’s immune susceptibility to HPV. Instead of burning or cutting the wart (which only removes the external growth), homeopathy strengthens internal immunity so the body can naturally expel the virus. This leads to:

  • Gradual and natural disappearance of warts
  • Reduced recurrence
  • Deep immune correction
Many patients at Dr Batra’s® UAE achieve long-term, often permanent clearance when they follow a personalized homeopathic treatment plan. Because immunity is strengthened from within, the likelihood of new warts forming decreases significantly.

6. Is it safe to treat warts at home with natural remedies?

Natural remedies such as tea tree oil, aloe vera, or apple cider vinegar may offer mild antiviral benefits, but they come with limitations:

  • They do not eliminate HPV from deeper skin layers
  • They can irritate sensitive or facial skin
  • Some DIY treatments can cause burning, scarring, or infection
  • Genital warts should never be treated at home
While supportive home remedies can complement professional treatment, relying solely on them may delay effective care. It is safer to follow a specialist-guided approach—especially for recurrent, painful, or spreading warts.

What should I avoid when I have warts?

To prevent worsening or spreading warts:

  • Do not pick or scratch the wart
  • Avoid sharing towels, razors, socks, shoes, or grooming items
  • Do not walk barefoot in public showers, gyms, or pool areas
  • Avoid shaving over warts
  • Keep the wart covered if you engage in sports or physical activities
  • Avoid touching other people’s warts
  • Do not attempt to cut or burn the wart at home
These habits significantly reduce the chance of spreading the virus to other body parts or individuals.

Can warts go away on their own without treatment?

Yes, in some cases, the immune system naturally fights the virus and causes the wart to shrink or disappear. However:

  • This can take months to years
  • Warts may spread during this time
  • Waiting can make warts larger and harder to treat
  • Plantar warts may become painful
  • Children and individuals with low immunity often experience recurring episodes
Natural immune-boosting approaches such as homeopathy can speed up this process safely and reduce recurrence.

Are warts contagious even if they’re not visible?

Yes. HPV can remain active on the skin even before a wart forms. This means:

  • A person can transmit the virus without showing any visible warts
  • Surfaces touched by infected skin may still carry HPV
  • Shared items like towels, prayer mats, or gym equipment can act as carriers
This explains why preventive hygiene and immunity support are critical—even if you cannot see any growth.
