Question 4

what would be a non-painful way to remove oral warts in an 8 year old child?

Accepted Answer

?? oral ??: In decades in medicine I have never seen or heard of a kid with warts inside his mouth. They do occasionally end up on the vocal cords &amp; are removed by lasers under anesthesia. Outside the mouth they are just like any other warts. All procedures for removal involve pain because the skin around them is sensitive. Freezing, cutting, chemical dissolving all are available. Best done by dermatologists

Question 6

antigen injections for warts my 14 year old has several warts that we have tried many things for through out the years to no avail. he was just seen by a dermatoligist and had them froze. she said id this doesn't work, which she assumes it won't, her next

Accepted Answer

Your : Your dermatologist is probably talking about the candida antigen injection.  It is typically delivered as an injection into the largest wart or two.  Studies show varying effectiveness, but it has certainly worked in many patients.  Other than the pain of the injection itself, some patients can get mild flu-like symptoms, but most tolerate it very well.  I hope that helps.

Question 7

Question 9

why does my 8-year old son get warts? small skin colour ones, but visibly elevated.

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. There are two main possibilities, molluscum and HPV warts. It would be prudent to see your doctor as the approach to the two is slightly different.
Wish your son good health!
