    The answer is of course no. Improving immunity is the core condition to help clear flat warts and filamentous warts, but it is definitely not a master key to "get rid of it in one liter". Individual differences are so great that you can't think of them.

    I met a young girl who had just graduated two years ago. She had a half-circle of tiny filamentous warts on her neck. She even felt itchy when she rubbed her collar. She went to the hospital and the doctor told her that she should either do cryopreservation or go back and try to adjust her schedule. At that time, she had just quit her 996 job and rested at home for three months. , I run three kilometers every evening, go to bed before 11 o'clock, and rarely drink milk tea. When I came back for a follow-up examination, all the warts on my neck were gone, not even leaving any marks. This is a typical autoimmune disease that removes low-risk HPV from the skin without even using medicine.

    But not everyone has such good luck. After my distant aunt retired, she danced square dances and did Tai Chi every day. Her physical examination indicators were stronger than those of young people. However, the light brown flat warts around the eyes have been growing for almost six years and have not disappeared no matter how they are adjusted. When I went to the dermatology department for a dermoscopy, the doctor She said that the virus has been rooted in the local epidermis for too long, and it is difficult for systemic immunity to accurately target such a localized infection focus. It is equivalent to the enemy digging a bunker in the corner of your house to hide. No matter how many troops you have patrolling the whole city outside, it will be difficult to clear it out if you don't target this small corner.

    After all, flat warts and filamentous warts are essentially benign hyperplasia caused by low-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection of the epidermal stratum corneum. The immune system is like the body's patrol. If the virus has just been infected and the load is still low, if the patrol is strong enough, it can indeed clear the virus and the warts will fall off. According to clinical data, about 30% of flat warts will naturally subside within 2 years, and most of them are related to autoimmune activation. But if the infection lasts for a long time, the virus has "camped" in the epidermal cells, and your immune cells are not even "familiar" with this type of HPV and cannot trigger a targeted immune response. Then, no matter how good your overall immunity is, you may not be able to do anything about these small bumps.

    Don’t believe that taking some supplements and soaking your feet can eliminate warts through your immunity. If warts do appear, you can first observe them for half a year to a year. If they don’t increase or get bigger, you can wait and see. If they grow more and more, or even become itchy and ulcerated, don’t bear it. If you need to do laser freezing and apply anti-viral topical medicine, you should listen to the doctor. A two-pronged approach is much more reliable than waiting for your immunity to die.
