My son started school 2 weeks ago and I was stopped by his teacher at pick up today, who expressed concern that they are contagious and could I think about covering them up etc.
Since the end of July we have been putting sacylic acid on as often as we can at night when he is asleep. He has about 20 warts though and this is pretty hard as he is also a light sleeper and so is also dependent on getting to his hands. They have changed in appearance and the skin around them has become broken and today one apparently ripped and bled at school hence his teachers concern.
My problem is that this stuff doesn't seem to be working and the warts are spreading but he is definitely not the kind of child who will put up with plasters or more likely gloves to cover them.
Given that I also have to hold him down to clean his teeth etc and he won't even let me LOOK at his warts properly, I don't know how we would manage to have them frozen off. They are literally on most fingers front and back and over both palms.
I will be ringing the doctor once they open at 2pm but I want to know has anyone else been through this and if so what solutions did you come up with?
Please be nice, I am feeling a little bit emotional about this!
Thank you in advance!
