Specializes in Podiatry

Lots of ways: You can use the liquid nitrogen, liquid nitrous oxide (this is what i like to use), topical acids, dermal scraping. You can also try oral cimetadine (400 mg three times a day for 12-16 weeks). This is very safe and had the side effect of getting rid of warts for many people of adult size and weight (japma november 1, 1995 vol. 85 no. 11 717-718 ).

Several Good Options: Warts in the armpit can be treated with liquid nitrogen, lasers, injections of bleomycin, electrocautery or immunotherpay. the number and size and distance between the warts would all be important in choosing the best treatment. Go see a dermatologist.

Standard methods: Warts are often treated by liquid nitrogen but can also be treated topically with a variety of prescription products. In some instances , we surgically remove them. Please see your Dermatologist.

Are you sure...: ...That they are warts? If so, there are nonprescription remedies, such as the various cold sprays, that you can buy to treat them yourself. If you're not sure they are warts - or if the otc remedy doesn't work - see a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

But are they warts?: Warts are a common viral infection of the skin, but they are not often seen in the armpit. More common causes of growths in the armpit would be molluscum contagiosum in children or skin tags in adults. In any event, they can be snipped off, burned off, frozen off, or treated with destructive chemicals such as salicylic acid or Podophyllin or cantharidin.
