Can a Seed Wart be Pulled Out?

Should you have your Seed Wart Pulled out?

No. A seed wart is actually dried broken blood vessels giving the appearance that you have seeds in your wart. There is nothing to pull out and picking at it will likely cause major irritation. You should never pick at or pull on any wart. Over the counter remedies are available or faster removal options are available with your doctor.

Seed Wart Removal

Since this type of wart is not a specific classification at all. Seed warts are usually used to describe the broken blood vessels in a plantar wart, flat wart or common wart. So, it’s generally on the thick bottom part of the feet or on the hands or fingers as with a common wart. For people looking for YouTube videos of how to remove them, looks at the specific type of wart instead (i.e. plantar) and how to fix that.

We have a full section on how to treat your warts both naturally and with the assistance of a medical professional.

Don’t try to pull out the seeds since they are in fact not seeds!

Warts are caused by HPV (Human Papillomavirus) so the best treatments are boosting your immune system so that your body can fight off the virus itself and then applying serums and over the counter, treatments have proven to work.

Anything which involves fast removal should be done by a doctor. Freezing and laser are two options.

Since they are not in fact seeds, definitely don’t try to remove them by pulling, scratching, or picking. You will just be further aggravating the wart.
