Valeria Díaz indicates that the most common type of warts are the petty warts, which appear on the feet and hands; fish eyes, which are located between the toes and the plant, and vaginal warts, product of a type of human papilloma. Before deciding to eliminate them, the expert suggests that the following tips should be taken into account:

What happens in the case of moles?

For Diaz not all moles are removed, only those who are suspected of cancer or cosmetic issues. The way to remove them is through surgery, since these have cells that reach the depth of the skin; then methods that treat only the surface of the skin can not eliminate them completely.

This also responds to the fact that sometimes the moles appear again, since the proper process was not carried out. The most important thing is to always attend with an expert, to prevent more serious damages and illnesses.
