Does anyone know how to get rid of warts please? My dd has had warts which have been increasingly spreading and growing for the last two and a half years.
I have tried everything including: salicylic acid, freezing (in another country where they allow it for babies), dermasil (ordered from internet), thuja (both applied on skin and internally) and Bazuka extra. Nothing has worked and they are really stubborn and causing my dd pain.
I am relieved that so far they have not made it to her face but it is only a matter of time i think as they keep coming. We have been a referral to a specialist who says there is nothing else that they can do. However I don't believe this:
I have come accross a web site which tell about these methods:
"'Cantharidin' is another treatment that can help to treat warts. It is similar to freezing in that it destroys the skin around the wart, but it is less painful when it is applied. It may hurt a little once the blister forms though.
Neither of the above treatments actually kills the virus that causes warts, they just kill the skin in which the virus is growing.
'Aldara' (imiquimod) is a newer, non-destructive treatment for warts. It is a cream that was first used to treat anogenital warts, but is now being used more to treat other types of warts and molluscum contagiosum. It is applied to the warts three times a week, either with or without an occlusive dressing. You might need to soak and then pare or trim down the wart and then apply Aldara for it to work well.
Other treatments may include using a pulsed dye laser, injection of bleomycin or interferon, application of Retin-A liquid, or taking oral cimetidine".
Does anyone know anything about any of these or other methods that might help. DD immune system is not brilliant and she also gets digestive problems and hayfever etc so this might not be helping.
Thank you in advance.
