Dear Dr.
Please advise if there is a treatment with pills available. If I remember correctly when my daughter was young the cosmetologist suggested to use pills of some kind that usually treat the stomach problems but some research has shown it was helping with warts and it did help my daughter but she was taking them for a month. Unfortunately I do not remember the name of the pills. May be you can help.
Regards, XXXXXXX

Brief Answer:
Salicylic acid patch may work

Detailed Answer:
Hello

I'm sorry but in my knowledge there is no such medicine. There are some measures like Patches Containing Salicylic Acid which if applied daily for 15 days can resolve the wart. Soak wart in water for 15-20 mins before applying the patch. Hopefully it will help you.

Thank You
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
