Are There any Side Effects of Using Garlic to Remove Warts?
Garlic should not be used for treating warts in the genital areas as entering the urinary tract can disrupt the bacterial balance, especially in the case of women.
Warts are non-cancerous and various strains of the HPV virus can result in warts in different parts of the body. If you notice that warts do not heal on their own with time, you need to start trying safer home remedies like using garlic rather than opting for other professional therapies. It might take time but consistently applying the technique can help in getting the desired results.
