Wart-Free and Confident: A Teen’s Journey to Wart-Free Skin

A wart is a fleshy growth on the skin caused by the HPV virus. Through contact, warts can spread from one person to another or from one location to another. They may be different in colour, size, and shape. Even though cauterization is a very common treatment for wart removal, warts can reappear after cauterization. The best approach for a long-term solution to the Wart issue is homeopathy. This case study shows excellent improvement in chronic warts.

A fifteen-year-old young boy, Master S.A.S (Patient ID: 49842), visited Life Force Homeopathy Vashi, for his chronic warts in November 2022 which has affected his confidence immensely. He had been struggling with it for 1 year. The most prominent wart was cauliflower-shaped and located on his nose, highly visible and progressively increasing in size. The wart on his nose caused social awkwardness, lowering his confidence. The smaller warts were also found on his right thumb and left index finger. There was no itching or pain around the warts.  He had been using a weekly acid application and Urja Pil cream daily for several months, but there was a lack of improvement, despite consistent efforts these medications did not provide any satisfactory results.

He also suffered from atopic dermatitis since childhood. During winters, his palms and fingers experienced peeling skin, adding to his discomfort.
The Life Force team took a comprehensive history, understanding physical and emotional factors. Though the physical symptoms were not major, they had more of a psychological impact.

Personal details:
He was non-vegetarian by diet and had a strong preference for chicken and sweets. He slept well and had a normal bowel movement. 

He was a student in the eighth grade. In mental symptoms, he was emotional but stubborn. His mother was a homemaker, and his father was a machine operator in the construction business. His sister is eighteen years old. His mother has a history of hypertension and warts

After reviewing his case, a constitutional SILICEA-30 remedy was selected based on his overall case history.

Follow-ups:
He provided his initial feedback six weeks later. His warts' continued growth was stopped after two months of homeopathic treatment, but warts that had previously appeared remained unchanged.

He reported that the size of his warts had improved at his second feedback in February 2023. There was not much progress. The warts on his nose and fingers were somewhat smaller. Therefore, based on his symptoms, the medication was prescribed to him.

On September 6, 2023, following several months of consistent medication, he reported a fairly benign triggering of his nose wart. The wart on his nose was growing larger once more, but the warts on his fingers were in better shape. He was therefore prescribed a new medication based on his symptoms. He was recommended to take Vitamin D. 

At the patient's follow-up on December 11th, followed by three months of medication, the nose wart was observed to have improved. Regrettably, he also reported that itching had begun on his warts, and at the same time, a new tiny wart developed on his left eyelid. Thus, in addition to prescribing the modified medication, he was suggested general safety measures like washing his hands, avoiding itching, and not touching the warts if they are touched. 

The patient visited and provided his follow-up on January 24, 2024. The warts on his fingers and nose started to shrink in size. The size of the wart on his left eyelid was the same. 

He reported that the wart on his left eyelid had disappeared during the follow-up on April 17, 2024. The warts on his fingers and nose had significantly improved. 

He followed up on June 12th, 2024, and his all warts completely disappeared, and his overall skin health improved. He was advised to stop the treatment. He started living more happier and confident life.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, homeopathy is strongly suggested in cases of warts because its treatments help to reduce the size of warts by controlling viral activity, providing long-term relief, and addressing the tendency to develop warts. In the aforementioned example in the case, homeopathy not only addressed his obvious skin issues but also enhanced his general well-being and self-esteem despite a history of unsuccessful treatments. This case serves as further evidence of homeopathy's capacity to change lives by providing a long-lasting, safe, non-invasive, and side-effect-free remedy for chronic illnesses. Now that the burden of warts has been lifted, Master S.A.S. leads a self-assured, healthy life.
