    The answer is not necessarily true. I have friends who have completely eliminated their flat warts in 3 months by adjusting their immunity. I also have patients who took iron and protein supplements every day. After a year, the warts got worse as time went by, and finally got rid of them with laser. The core factors are related to the viral load, time and autoimmune status of your infection.

    A while ago, I accompanied Faxiao to the dermatology department to see the small pimples on her face. When she was diagnosed with flat warts, she panicked. She was afraid of leaving scars and contagion. The doctor found that she only had five or six warts and they had only been growing for more than two months. They did not prescribe any treatment drugs and just let her go. She didn't stay up late, danced with Pamela for half an hour three days a week, drank less milk tea and more eggs and milk. She followed the instructions honestly. One day when she was washing her face for more than three months, she suddenly found that the small bumps on her hands were all gone, and not even a light brown mark was left.

    But not everyone can encounter this kind of good thing. In the group of flat wart patients I joined before, at least half of the people tried to heal themselves by improving their immunity, but they all fell into the trap in the end. There was a girl who worked in design. She ran 3 kilometers every day after get off work in order to improve her immunity. She also took a lot of vitamins and protein powder. As a result, she stayed up until two or three o'clock every day to catch up on the plan. She was so stressed that she often cried. Not only did the warts not disappear, but they also spread from her cheeks to her neck. In the end, she relied on external application of retinoic acid cream + interferon, which took more than two months.

    In fact, to put it bluntly, flat warts are epidermal cells infected by low-risk HPV. If you have been infected for a short time and the virus has not yet taken root in the deep layers of the skin, and your immunity is up, the immune cells in your body will be like sweeping garbage, cleaning out the infected cells one by one, and the warts will naturally fall away.; But if the infection has lasted for more than a year, the virus is deeply hidden, or you have underlying diseases, have been taking immunosuppressants for a long time, and your immunity is already weaker than that of ordinary people, then it will be difficult to eliminate the virus by relying on your own resistance alone. If it takes a long time, it may become more common.

    There is no need to regard immunity as a miracle cure for flat warts, and don’t take it completely seriously. If you don’t have many warts and they last for less than half a year, you can give your immunity a 3-6 month observation period. Regular work and rest, moderate exercise, and no need to take a bunch of supplements.; If you don’t see improvement during this period or even if your warts become more numerous and itchy, don’t just try to deal with it. Seek a dermatologist for targeted intervention as soon as possible. It’s much more reliable than trying to figure it out on your own.
