HPV is most commonly transmitted through contact with infected skin, through towels, shared clothing, as well as the sexual. This virus is very easy to get caught in a shower, a sauna, a swimming pool, the locker room of a fitness club, and other public places with high humidity, and questionable sanitary conditions. Penetrating into the body, the virus survives for ever and ever, and to be fully cured, unfortunately, do not give up.

The procedure is quite painful as the frozen nitrogen is in contact with the skin at a temperature of - 196 degree celsius. Of the disadvantages of the method, we note the difficulty of controlling the level of freezing in the course of the combustion, as well as the possibility of the appearance of the scar at the site of a removed wart.
- A burning laser. It performs layer-by-layer removal of the growth with the use of a local anaesthetic the lasers. This method is the least traumatic, and cosmetic defects at the site of the wart, as a rule, does not arise.

Before you remove the wart to protect the healthy skin near the affected area, apply a thin layer of baby cream or vaseline. Now, you can start a fire. To do this, apply a small drop of the composition directly on top of the warts and wait until it is completely dry. A similar procedure will have to be repeated 1 or 2 times a day for a couple of days ago. In the process of this treatment, the wart will peel away and then completely disappeared, leaving small pigmentary stain, which will disappear after a certain amount of time.
With the use of this method for the removal of the wart and the genital warts, you need to be extremely careful. Concentrated alkali contained in such compositions is extremely aggressive, and therefore, in the case of an incorrect calculation of the volume of a single dose during a session of the burning, the procedure can leave behind a deep chemical burn that will continue to be wet for a long time to heal. The appearance of a scar, or a scar, under such errors inevitable.
