Wart, lactic acid & salicylic acid solution

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at Healthcaremagic
I have reviewed the attached photograph and it looks like a wart.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply a solution containing combination of lactic acid and salicylic acid ( salex L lotion or duofilm) on the affected area twice daily for 2-3 weeks.
This should help in clearing the infection.
Regards
Dr Asmeet

Brief Answer:
Don’t use Clop S ointment

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Don’t use Clop S ointment as it contains a steroid and won’t help in treating the wart.
It is not a serious condition but definitely requires treatment as it has a tendency to spread.
