Yes follow MD advise: On a 9 yr old you already tried unsuccessfully to cure ' full of warts ' now time let your doctor handle it and eradicate the warts caused by hpv virus, and prevent psychological trauma to the kid , good luck.

See dermatologist : Warts on the hands are often treated with monthly freezing with liquid nitrogen in a dermatologists office. Take a multivitamin with zinc can help freezing work better. In addition, using liquid wart removers such as duofilm or occlusal nightly on the warts between visits can help. Warts can be stubborn and require a number of months to resolve.

Really warts?: Be sure they are really warts and not fibromas as seen in diseases such as vonrecklinghausen's. Has a "wart" been biopsied?.
