INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Especially when you're going for a longer or tapered beard, you're better off trimming the bulk around your chin with scissors, but you can still use a beard trimmer on the sides and around your cheeks. Start with a longer setting on your beard trimmer. Nearly all beard trimmers are going to have a guard with adjustable lengths. Since it's always easier to remove a bit more rather than grow some back, start with a longer setting on the trimmer and move down incrementally until you find the setting you want. No matter whether you're trimming with scissors or a beard trimmer, always trim your beard when it's dry. When it comes time to pull out the scissors, start from the bottom and trim slowly in small groupings rather than shearing too much. Use a comb in coordination with the scissors to trim at equal lengths. Though you start at the bottom, you may find it helpful to trim up one side of your beard to shape it, then duplicate it on the other side afterward as opposed to shaping the whole thing at once. Sometimes the difference between a kempt beard and a grizzly one is a matter of cleaning up the edges. Shaving any stray upper cheek hairs, cleaning up your neckline, and trimming any accompanying mustache (if you have one) are all important in managing your beard. The standard way to determine your neckline is to look at your profile in a three-way mirror and imagine a slightly curved line the runs from just behind your earlobe down to just above your Adam's apple. Shaving anything below this line will create a suave, natural neckline.

SUMMARY: Trim the sides with a beard trimmer. Trim with the scissors slowly and methodically. Do any final edging.

They will have additional treatments that can remove the warts immediately. Most doctors can treat warts but dermatologists specialize in this type of skin problem. If you want to ensure that the wart is removed effectively, seek out the care of a dermatologist. There are a variety of prescription medications that your doctor may suggest for treatment of a wart. These medications typically work by increasing the immune response of the body. They are traditionally applied either topically or injected into the wart, however there are newer systemic medications that are taken in pill form. As with all prescription medications, talk to your doctor about possible drug interactions and side effects your new medication may have. For example, systemic wart medications in particular have been known to impact liver function. Many dermatologists remove warts by freezing them off with liquid nitrogen. This is a common treatment for warts and is typically very effective. To freeze off your wart, your doctor will give you a local anesthetic to dull the pain and then will apply the liquid nitrogen to the center of the wart. This will kill the cells of the wart. It can take a few weeks for a wart that has been frozen to fall off. It may also take more than one session of cryotherapy to effectively get rid of your wart. Some side effects of cryotherapy can include scarring and changes in the skin's pigment. Your doctor will also need to be careful when doing this procedure on sensitive areas of the hand, such as the side of fingers, as it can impact nerves and underlying structures. Your doctor may suggest removing the wart surgically or with a laser if home treatment has been unsuccessful. This is an in office treatment that requires local anesthetic and some aftercare, including keeping the site clean as it heals. Removing a wart with a laser is typically much more expensive than doing cryotherapy. Discuss with your doctor why the more expensive procedure is necessary. Removing a wart surgically can be more painful than with cryotherapy or laser removal. It is also more likely to cause scarring. Talk to your doctor about why they want to perform this procedure, as opposed to others, before agreeing to it.

SUMMARY:
See a doctor if home treatment doesn't work. Use prescription medication. Remove the wart with cryotherapy. Have the wart removed with a laser or an incision.
