how do i get rid of hand warts?

Accepted Answer

Several options: Warts, which are caused by a form of the hpv virus, can be a difficult and frustrating problem.  You can try an over-the-counter wart remover (e.g.: compound w or duofilm).  If this doesn't work see a dermatologist.  They could be frozen with liquid nitrogen (cryotherapy), treated with a strong acid, or removed surgically.  There are also injectable medications that can be used in stubborn cases.

Question 4

having lemon, orange,strawberries,tea& zinc to help body get rid of hand warts (tried everything else on planet acid,cryo,tape,acv). might work?

Accepted Answer

No: Wart-removal acids sold over-the-counter can get rid of hand warts. One's primary care doctor or a dermatologist can freeze the warts. If a person has many warts on her hand, there are other medications that a dermatologist can try. Fruits are not going to get rid of warts... but sometimes warts do go away on their own.

Question 5

whats the best way to get rid of warts on hands? should i be concernd about them spreadin elsewhere?

Accepted Answer

Doctor freezes them: Warts on the hands, or on most other parts of the body, can be frozen off by a primary care doctor or a dermatologist. Usually, it takes 3 visits or so. After each freezing part of the wart dies, until finally all the remaining warty skin is gone. Painting over-the-counter wart removal acids on ones warts is a lot more work than having a doctor freeze them.

Warts are a Virus: Yes. The hpv virus infects skin...Not just certain body parts.  It is commonly spread by the hands....

Question 7

nothing will help my hand warts. surgery, freezing, currently immiquimod. they are large and i get comments on them, sadly. help?

Accepted Answer

Be vigilant: Don't say that...you just ned a doctor who will be patient with you and treat them frequently.  I have patients in my practice just like you.  I use liquid nitrogen in a styrofoam cup and a large Q-tip.  You have to do it weekly or bi-weekly....but I guaranty they will eventually blister up and fall off.
