Hi Asmeet ,

Thank you very much for your reply. Please find the answers below.

I understand your concern but which treatment have you taken to get rid off warts?
As doctor suggested I went through the laser surgery(laser burn).
For how long are you having warts and are they recurring at the same places or at new places?
1year 6months back first wart I observed on my mustache area. They are recurring in same area but not at the same place after the laser treatment. Now they speared on left ear backside and one more under neck.
Do you go to saloon for shaving or any other procedure?
After the first consult with the Doctor one year back, As suggested I am using only trimmer for the shaving in my home only. I visit saloon now only for the hair cut and they will not use blade for me on my request.
Are you having warts anywhere else on the body or anyone else in the family is having warts?
This is the first time i am facing the problem and in my family no one having type of problem.
Are you immunosuppressed ?
Please suggest me if there is any medical tests available.
Are you taking any other medicines or having any other ailments?
Now i am not using medicines but from last 2months i am applying the prodowart daily on the warts and they will rid off after 10 to 15 days.

I already spent a lot of money for the treatment but no i don't see positive results, I am looking for permanent solution please suggest.

I am from XXXXXXX and ready to take treatment again.

Brief Answer:
RF ablation or electrocautery, levamisole, isotretinoin in severe cases

Detailed Answer:
I would recommend you to consult a dermatologist and get them removed by radiofreqency ( RF ) ablation or electrocautery.
To prevent their recurrence I usually recommend my patients to take immunomodulator drugs like tablet Levamisole 150 mg on two consecutive days in a week at night for 6-8 weeks.
In severe cases where there are too many warts that are difficult to remove I also recommend my patients to take capsule isotretinoin 10 mg once daily in the morning but it is a prescription drug and should be taken under the supervision of the doctor.
