Warts (warts) are skin surface growths caused by viruses, with the condition first recorded in the "Huangdi Neijing." They are commonly seen in children and young adults, with an incubation period of 1 to 3 months, and can spread on their own. The virus resides in the cells of the stratum spinosum, promoting cell proliferation and forming wart-like lesions. Common types include common warts, flat warts, molluscum contagiosum, and genital warts. In Chinese medicine, they are referred to as "youmu," "shu ru," "kujin jian," "qianri chuang," "jia chuang," or "huiqi chuang," colloquially known as "hóu zi" or "jiantou rou." So, what should be paid attention to in terms of diet and health care for those infected with warts?
