Garlic and acacia are indicated to remove 'fisheye', which is a type of plantar wart, because they have the medicinal properties necessary to remove this wart and regenerate the skin, thus relieving pain and discomfort.
Fisheye is a type of wart on the foot caused by the presence of the HPV virus on the skin. When left untreated, this wart can increase in size and spread, affecting other areas of the body, so it is common for a person to have more than one plantar wart.
The most suitable home remedies are:
Garlic poultice and aspirin to remove the lesion
Garlic has antibacterial and antiseptic action that helps to eliminate the HPV virus that is present in the fish eye.
Ingredient
- 1 clove of garlic, 1 tablespoon of oil
Method of preparation
Knead the garlic clove and the aspirin with a spoon and mix with the oil. Then this homemade solution should be applied directly on top of the plantar wart and covered with a band-aid, leaving it to work all night.
Some people have an increased sensitivity to the substances in fresh garlic, which can cause contact dermatitis, similar to burns. For this reason, it is recommended to test apply a piece of garlic to the skin for a few hours and observe if any reaction occurs. If a burning sensation is felt, the ideal is to remove it immediately and wash it with cold water.
Acacia essential oil to regenerate the skin
The essential oil of acacia has anti-inflammatory and healing properties that help to treat the fisheye, being useful to keep the skin smoother and hydrated and without the small skin lesions that are around the wart.
Ingredient
- Acacia essential oil
How to use
Just apply a few drops of acacia essential oil to the wound site, with the help of a small piece of cotton, 3 to 4 times a day. Then it is important to protect the region with a band-aid and avoid constantly touching the lesion to avoid the risk of infection.
Although very useful, this treatment should not replace clinical treatment, which is done with lotions indicated by the doctor, being just a good complement. Find out more details of the treatment indicated by the doctor.
