Wart removers

Because papillomaviruses are specialized for replication in external ep-ithelia, infection is usually confined to the epithelium exposed to the external environment and does not result in systemic dissemination of the virus. While viral replication occurs in differentiated epithelial cells in the upper epidermal layer, viral particles are also often located in the deep epidermal basal layer. The epidermis becomes thickened and hyperkera-totic, and keratinocytes (keratin-containing cells) in the epidermal granular layer become vacuolated as a result of viral infection. The mechanisms by which virions penetrate the stratum corneum and infect viable keratinocytes is poorly understood, as there is a lack of practical in vitro culture systems available for these viruses to serve as study aids. 

While the natural history of cutaneous HPV infections is for spontaneous regression within a few months or years, treatments (via medical personnel or the consumer) are frequently used to avoid potential viral spreading, wart enlargement, and individual social discomfort. Home remedies include the use of a pumice stone to remove the callus and/or warm water soaks (forty-five degrees centigrade) for thirty minutes daily for approximately six weeks. Most over-the-counter wart treatments function by chemically destroying the epidermis in which the virus is present and are recommended for the removal of only cutaneous common warts

As an aside, wart removal by liquid nitrogen exploits the same principle. As may be recalled from our discussion of intermolecular forces, the attractions of induced dipoles, dispersion forces, are caused by temporarily uneven distributions in the electron clouds, which produce momentary positive and negative regions. Nitrogen is formed from two nitrogen nuclei bonded together—the electrons have no reason to prefer one nitrogen in the molecule over the other—so dipoles, a permanent separa-... 

Is commonly known as Spanish fly and is derived from blister beetles. Karras speculates that it may be a more common cause of morbidify than is recognized [12].
