On the treatment of warts by glycolic acid
For warts, the fat of the skin is also different in shape, which may disturb the appearance or cause local discomfort. Throughout the ages, doctors have been committed to finding its treatment. In modern times, glycolic acid has gradually emerged in the treatment of warts.

Glycolic acid belongs to fruit acid and the like, with small molecules and excellent penetrating ability. The principle of its treatment of warts is to loosen the connection of keratinocytes. The formation of warts is mostly due to abnormal hyperplasia and accumulation of keratinocytes. Glycolic acid can enter the stratum corneum, weakening the structure of the bridge particles, causing keratinocytes to fall off easily, and the accumulation of warts gradually disappears.

Furthermore, glycolic acid can promote the metabolism of epidermal cells. The normal epidermal cells are renewed and orderly, but the cell metabolism in the wart is disordered. Glycolic acid can stimulate the proliferation and differentiation of basal layer cells, accelerate epidermal replacement, and make new healthy cells replace the abnormal cells of the wart, so that the skin can be leveled again.

And glycolic acid has a certain anti-inflammatory effect. When warts develop, there may be a local inflammatory reaction. Glycolic acid can inhibit the release of inflammatory mediators, reduce redness, swelling, pain, etc., and create a suitable internal environment for the regression of warts.

When treating, it needs to be different according to the size, location, and tolerance of the patient's skin. For facial warts, the skin is delicate, and a low-concentration glycolic acid solution should be used, and the application time should be short to prevent excessive irritation. In the hands and feet, the skin is tough, which can appropriately increase the concentration and prolong the action time.

When using glycolic acid to treat warts, caution is also required. It is irritating to a certain extent, or causes short-term redness, tingling, and desquamation of the skin. Therefore, before surgery, it is advisable to conduct a tolerance test on a small area of skin. If the patient's skin is sensitive, it is necessary to weigh the advantages and disadvantages, or cooperate with a soothing and repairing agent to reduce discomfort.

In conclusion, glycolic acid has a unique effect on the treatment of warts. Doctors should understand its rationale, make good use of it, and weigh the advantages and disadvantages in order to maximize the benefits of patients, remove warts and restore skin health.
