- Explore the science of how certain HPVs can cause warts, and what you should do if you get one of these bumpy skin growths.
--
Throughout history, people have attributed warts to contact with things like sea foam, boiled egg water, and, of course, toads. Fortunately, we now know that warts are not caused by toads, but are actually caused by human papillomaviruses, or HPVs. So, how exactly do HPVs lead to warts? And what should you do if you get one? Cella Wright explores the science of these bumpy skin growths.

Damn you got me 😔

@@watyes7546I did
@@watyes7546 Okay? Different people get different jokes.
My personal experience with a wart:
I had a wart on my foot since i was like, 8?
And it was HUGE.
My mother went to so many doctors who gave me a lot of different methods of removing the wart like cutting it after soaking it in water, spraying it with like a very cold spray and eventually my mother couldn't handle it anymore and my wart got lasered.
Despite all her efforts and despite a freaking laserbeam burning the heck out of my wart,it still persisted and stayed.
Until my aunt told my mother to use garlic to create blisters on my wart so that the skin could swell up and the roots would be easier to cut.
It worked.
So now i have a scar on my foot, where my wart was.
So in conclusion: if doctors' procedures don't work and your wart is still too stubborn to die, use garlic.
Way cheaper and effective.
Thanks for reading!
How exactly did you use the garlic to create blisters? I have a friend who has warts and I will show this video to her later and will also suggest this method. Thank you in advance.
@@simpyphus3141 Hi!
So my mother would cut the garlic into some slices and tape them on my wart.
Depending on how big the wart is, i'd recommend taping the garlic slice like on the side of the wart (where the normal skin and the wart meet) so that when the skin swells up, the wart would also swell up and if you cut through the skin you could also cut through the roots of the wart.
And just a side reminder: remember to desinfect and bandage the wound if you manage to get it out.
I wish your friend good luck and a quick recovery! ;)
I am not sure why your original doctor did not freeze or burn the wart. Sometimes, it may be the opinion of the doctor that a skin specialist should do it, but that is not normally necessary.
Thanks for sharing
@@VersteheNZ Actually my doctors did use a type of freezing spray to burn the wart but they did it for like 1min and then they'd schedule another appointment for me next week and the entire thing would repeat without any progress showing.. and then garlic saved me.

“Go away without intervention”
Not me with warts for the past 8 years with treatment
:’) feel that
HPV hides from your immune system by staying within your skin cells to avoid detection. Cryotherapy and salicylic acid can't get rid of all the virus.
Although I don't recommend doing this, I had warts on my hands and feet as a child and would frequently cut them off with a knife.
I got frustrated because they'd keep coming back so I've cut off bigger and bigger chunks of my skin until it started to bleed.
Strangely enough, this act of cutting the skin while causing bleeding may have exposed immune cells in my blood to the virus.
Next thing I know, all the warts on my hands and feet were totally gone within a few weeks and they have never come back.
i had a filiform wart on one of my fingers
for around 8 months
it went away only 2 weeks after i tried its medication in homeopathy
maybe try that?
@@calitreesweet homeopathy is not actual medicine but a placebo of sorts, you believing it would cure you caused your body to try harder to fend off the wart and well it succeeded. the mind is powerful, you just need something to channel it.
@@eco1969 i dont believe in homeopathy either so i do agree with you

Fascinating, I’ve had a wart on the ring finger of my left hand for a while. Never knew exactly what caused them. Awesome video!
Try bandaging it with electrical tape, this is a known home remedy. Saw that in a documentary once that it works for those warts that are common on hands.
Thuja worked for me like magic potion@@TheFeldhamster
Put an apple cider vinegar on a cotton, wrap it on the warts and leave it for a few minutes, once the warts softens, you can remove it flawlessly.
Doctors have told me at hoem remidies or over the counter "treatments" dont really work work bc it only does the surface layer. Not the root of where it comes from, hence the need for burning, freezing, or cutting. Ive had all 3 and theyve still come back on my hands... 🤷♀️@TheFeldhamster
@@KathleenFeliciano Maybe try thuja (mother tincture). It worked like a miracle for me
the soap part is funny lol
What are the odds dude
I just moments before came to know that this thing on my wrist is a wart and Ted just showed up with on warts .
Thats freaking crazy.
Yeah man! I never search about warts on google or any social media. Now I have warts on my right hand. At the same time, this video shows up. Crazy! 🤔
i've had some pretty persistent warts on my feet for the past few years and finally got rid of the last one about a month ago! my dermatologist recommended surrounding the skin of the wart with a bit of vaseline with the help of a q-tip before applying salicylic acid to the wart, then putting a tiny bit of a plastic bag on that and covering that with adhesive bandage, then changing it every day (i did it every other day or so because i'm lazy lol). the trick was to not let the salicylic acid dry out and it worked really well!
for a single tiny wart i can also recommend putting salicylic acid on, then covering that with a pimple patch with the same ingredient (and maybe some adhesive bandage to secure it in place)! that also worked really well on my toe and was less work and less of a mess lmao
I have self treated feet warts that worked 100% with store bought apple cider vinegar:
- cut down the skin layer (with a clean nail clipper) till point bleeding starts and exposes the wart
- rub/drip on the vinegar all over
- keep covered with cut-to-size cotton pads (or plastic bag sheet/ band aid) and tape up
- use a tiny drink straw to dab more vinegar on the pad every few hours keeping the wart soaked and the vinegar from drying out
- it is working when you feel stinging pain every time vinegar is added as the wart dies
- the pain will reduce by day 3-4 when consistently vinegar'd and the skin layer below begins to heal and push out the dead wart (itching starts as well)
I had a wart on the top of my right foot for a few years, and then randomly disappeared, first and only one I've ever had
Had one growing on my ring finger, i ripped it off physically. It came back once more so I ripped it off again and it never came back
Finally. Truthful info about HPV that doesn't say that it's only an STI. While that's the most common means of transmission, HPV is one of those viruses that's everywhere.
When I hear about HPV I think about Herpes and that more than 50% of the population has it. I feel disgusted.
I used to have a wart on my left palm. I had no idea that it was caused by HPV. Trippy. I removed the wart with a nail clipper and cleaned the area with hydrogen peroxide i think. This was twenty two years ago
I've never had a wart so I'm curious. Did clipping it off hurt?
It did, a good amount too. But I was so tired of it that I didn’t care. It had to go
@@jayrenee378 I have one on one finger and clipping the wart itself doesn't hurt but if you catch some healthy skin it does.
I know because I already cut mine off multiple times and keeps coming back 😵💫
@@diego-zh2th then you didnt cut enough infected skin
You must

i had a foot wart on my second toe. I cut it with clippers and used this solution that comes with a padding with hole in it. put it on and put the solution in. took like 2 years to get rid of it. very annoying
Thanks for the learning!
The inside of a banana peel is very effective. Use a spoon to remove the soft part from the peel and apply it (a peel) to a wart for 30 min -1hour. Do this for a few weeks. I wish everyone good and strong health ❤️
Whats the logic behind this?
“The word is ‘wart’. Traditionally associated the witches as it happens.” Cedric brown
It's like Uncle Harvey says: "YOU MAY GIVE A TOAD A WART BUT A TOAD MAY NOT GIVE A WART TO YOU!!!"
Wait, there are _hundreds_ of species of HPV? I was always under the impression that there was only one because it was always referred to in the singular? What HPV was the vaccine I had when I was a teenager targeting?
The cancer causing ones that live in the mucus membrane those are life threatening compared to “annoying”
Some HPVs can cause cancer too. Especially around the groin area and in the uterus. Many European countries are now vaccinating against these specific strains of HPV.
Did you not watch the video?
I was vaccinated for HPV at 15. Most of my age are. I am now 31
I have had warts all my life. One on my leg got rubbed off in a bike accident when I was 9. Another one on my finger was cut off every day by a friend with a blade in school. The worst was a big, painful wart on my ankle that came back even after surgery.
After four years, I found that salicylic acid and duct tape worked, though it made a wound. Eventually, the wart just fell off on its own after a week of healing. Haven’t had any warts since.
You guys should also do a video on keyloids
I used to have a couple, one time I was welding and decided I have had enough of them so I stuck the 1200°C (2500°F) electroed on them, and they dissapred after a cople weeks.
Christ…
I can't imagine doing this to myself 💀
Man, these guys are crazy! Can you give instructions to our cells?
Some warts don't WART to disappear.
ZING!

Not funny, didn't laugh
me to
As many people mentioned, I have had a wart on my sole of the foot since I was a kid too. The fact shows that children have vulnerable immune system as this video explained.
I had a really stubborn couple of plantar warts on my right pinky toe and some on the adjacent toe when I was in middle school. My dad took me to the dermatologist countless times to get them frozen off. It was excruciatingly painful and I saw zero improvement. Since that wasn’t working I was prescribed something they called “beetlejuice” (I’m sure it’s not actually called that) that I had to apply to my warts every night, and cover them with duct tape so it would keep the medication on them while I slept. And in the morning I had to rinse it off. I did that for a couple months and they finally went away and relatively pain free. I wish my dermatologist would have just prescribed that to me from the beginning or after 3 or 4 times when the freezing wasn’t working.
My gynaecologist said to me, an HPV infection never heals up fully, like shingles. But I read differently, namely when it's over, one is immune to this specific type. Does someone know better?
It's a virus. So it stays in your body forever. However, if your body's immune system can defeat it to suppress it, it can be as nonexistent as an old flu.
Also, unlike a flu virus, this can Re-emerge, if you get very sick later in life.
Try MMR vaccine brother. it cured me thank God.
I think it depends on the type of HPV. Some can retreat into nerve fibers where the immune system can get to them.
I had warts on my fingers for years, but after a different skin blemish on my fingertips disappeared, so too did all the warts; so that immune response must be the reason
Great video as always👍
love the art style!
I like how every time they talk about viruses or germs, they use this animation style
1:06 "water proof active immune"? that description is using the right words, but in a confusing way
What’s the difference between a wart and a verruca? Are they basically the same thing?
For verucca take MMR vaccine. best and only treatment
Hmmm😮
Yes same thing, weirdly given different names when there on different parts of the body..
Same same but different 😂
My mother (a pharmacist) said it's an inverted wart..... I never really understood it. Same treatment for both though
@@ytProblem01 makes sense since it's flattened by body weight
I had no idea this was the cause. I had a wart on my right thumb for most of my childhood until one day, it just fell off in my late teens. Another one came in shortly after but later disappeared after a doctor told me it was only excess skin and to use a sugar scrub to get rid of it. That one eventually came off, too. I've now been wart free for years. Getting my HPV vaccine probably helped😅
Me: "I learned you don't have warts!" _kisses_
Frog: "No, but I do have methoxy-dimethyltryptamine, and you have one hour to live."
that's a good one
No one has ever died from that. Stop spreading fake information, troll.
Beautiful video & stupendous style
Our economy struggling with uncertainties, housing issues, foreclosures, global fluctuations, and pandemic aftermath, causing instability. Rising inflation, sluggish growth, and trade disruptions need urgent attention from all sectors to restore stability and stimulate growth.
With the US dollar losing value to inflation and other currencies gaining traction, uncertainty looms. Yet, many still trust in the Dollar's perceived safety. Worried about my $420,000 retirement savings losing value, I seek alternative security for my money.
I have a wart on top my head from a hairdresser accidentally cutting me with scissors as a kid. 🥴
😢
My Grandma would 'buy' our warts, for a quarter.
She'd examine the wart closely...no medication, just a little squeeze.
"This wart is now mine! You have one day to let go of it."
Sure enough, the wart would be gone in a day or so.
The power of belief can do incredible things.
Cryotherapy worked on all mine. Stings a lot during treatment, but it kills everything it touches.
thank you for not making this scary. when i had this i thought its the end of world
Pathogens perpetually poised to penetrate? You're fired. But well done!
Beautifully done!
Since I had the vaccines for hpv I haven’t noticed any warts
I need to make an appointment with a dermatologist
I didn’t know viruses had smiley faces
I had a big wart on a knuckle of my right hand as a kid. Horrible thing, it would crack and bleed, i was embarrassed by it. Had it burnt off eith liquid nitrogen, hurt like a mf. Got the scar to this day and i much prefer it over that wart.
Aaaaw, I was excited for the soothing voice person
Thanks ted
I had a wart on my foot fro almost a year when I was young. It did not heal after multiple prescribed creams, sprays, etc. Then my grandma said to apply the juice of a dandelion (Taraxacum) on it. Disappeared within a week. Hope it helps somebody.
Very interesting. I wonderd what caused warts. Thanks.
Maybe do a video on the difference between frogs, and toads next.
Nice video
Perpetually Poised to Penetrate is a dope Bandname.
I might not be up to date with my HPV vaccination knowledge but I have heard that HPV vaccination only works BEFORE someone catches HPV the very first time, which is afaik why they vaccinate children as ealry as 4 years old and not adults.
Before watching this video, Super Mario Bros. 2 teaches us Wart doesn't like vegetables. I'm sure this video will be informative on the truth, but I thought anyone old enough might like the attempt at a joke.
The animation managed to make warts look cute and sympathetic.
Perfect timing
I was diagnosed with periungal warts the doc gave me sessional doses of bleomycin injection and finally they disappeared
I haven’t known or seen warts before, + I haven’t got them. But this new and brand life changing information changed that all. This channel is about facts and managements and history which we need to know tp gain the knowledge that we need. Thanks for reading this 😊🤲
I had planter Warts on my feet and every doctor in Dubai had given up on the treatment, quoting thousands of dollars for cryo gun lasers etc.
The only thing that worked in the end was a regular application of High concentration Salicylic Acid and regular peel off.
when i was a kid i got a splinter in my toe and it hurt too much when my mom and dad tried to take it out so i kept it in and a wart formed- i had to freeze it off and ever since then my toe was a bit swollen but now u cant tell
I have 8 warts on both my hands through out highschooo and its my biggest insecurities thank god mine disappeared before highschool gradution
thank you

I've had warts plaguing my index finder and back of hand for a few years now. Been to the doctors 4 times, each time got the cryotherapy treatment with liquid nitrogen and started using salicilyc acid recently. Very effective treatment, but the warts are persistent. I probably would've had them gone by now if I weren't neglecting it so much though, lol.
dropped soap animation is insane lmao
This is awesome and useful content thank you
My skin was tingling all through the video duration 😣
I used to have a wart on my ring finger on right hand, but my doctor freezed my wart and it was gone from a couple of months.
I used to have one at the palm of my hand, I just cut it with scissors bit by bit when I was a kid, only stopping when it hurts. I don't have it anymore
I have warts before I got rid of it by burning it with mosquito coils, little by little they died out and now Im wart free
I used to have like 4-6 warts on my left hand when I was a kid. Demathologist used to freeze them, they got inflated like a ballon after freezing then they fell off, and came back every four moths until one day they just stop growing
Talk about a interesting topic!
I had a on my foot for nine years! It finally disappeared naturally like 1 year ago... but recently I became a Ukelele teacher, and one of my students has warts all over his fingers, I am so scared of getting near him, but I don't show any sign of it... what should I do to prevent infection?
I live with the worry of a wart suddenly popping on my face 😮
I've had a wart on my thumb back during the end of 2021. I used cryotherapy to remove them in 1 month.
I had one on my left hand middle finger when I was eight years old. I was at a park one day and I went down the sliding board. This is when they still made them out of all metal. It got caught on a piece of jagged metal sticking out of the hand hold at the top, and as I slid down it ripped off and never came back. No need for doctors or fancy treatments. Just find yourself a metal slide and go have some fun😂😂
I had a wart on my leg once. Had it frozen off, actually knocked it off and used alsorts of over the counter treatments. It just kept coming back. One day my aunty saw the wart on my leg. She went to yhe garden ad came back with a snail, rubbed the snail on the wart for about 1 minute, after a week the wart had disappeared and never came back
Getting a HPV vaccine is on top of my checklist now ✅
HUMAN: I hate warts
TOAD: Go ahead and ribbid
i've had a few that wouldn't go , even with topical medicine , i had to dig them out.
if you manage to get it in one piece , it doesn't come back , but it's a bit bloody and painful.
Watching this as I am burning a wort off my hand now.
Excuse me, TED-Ed? Can you make a History vs. (History on Trial) video about Emilio Aguinaldo?
Good to know
I've got warts on my hands shaping like a Bermuda triangle 🤣
Thanks for making this video, I have a pretty big wart on my foot right now and this explained a lot of things for me, I am doing cryotherapy and it seems to be working so far!
I had a wart between my toes before, we had milkweed nearby and used that to get rid of it naturally
Don't forget shoes are amazing places for it to thrive. Warm, dark and always moist soft thin skin because it's never used.
This really makes me question going barefoot outside 😅
Ok, but ive literally only had one wart ever it it was right after i held a frog and with the same hand i held it with.
Very interesting
Now I know how to avoid getting warts
Those HPVs were adorable. The warts, not so much.
I know how to get rid of them now! I'll tell my dad!!!!
I had one on my right foot few months ago. My doctor sprayed it with liquid nitrogen (cryotherapy) and in 3 visits it was gone.
Then why I got a warts after I touched a toad?
