Brief Answer:
Management of warts in beard area

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic
I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern.
Creams won't be effective in the treatment of warts in the beard area.
For the warts you need to consult a dermatologist and get them removed by electrocautery.
To avoid recurrence of warts, avoid shaving for atleast 7-10 days after removal of warts.
Also take tablet zinc sulphate 200 mg once daily for 3-4 months.
It is an immunomodulator that will boost up your immunity and avoid recurrence.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
