5yr Old With Facial Warts :(

[NannyPlumIsMyMum]

I am so stressed with this .
My DD7 has had warts on her fingers and knees for about 4 yrs now.

We have tried treating them with salicylic acid and duct tape to no avail - in fact they are spreading across to her other knee and down her legs.

Our DS5 has had a wart on his chin since the age of 2.
He saw a dermatologist last year who prescribed a low dose acne cream to try and irritate the skin into kick starting the immune system.

But again to no avail - DS's have spread all over his chin - loads of tiny ones that are getting bigger every day.

He also had them developing under his eye .

I am feeling so stressed by this because freezing them or using salicylic acid for our DS is not an option due to the risk of scarring.

Both our DS and DD are now getting bullied because of the warts.

Has anybody at all had success with facial warts in children?

I'm so frightened of it affecting their self esteem.

I've just googled "dandelion Warts" and it seems she is not alone!!

I know this is an old thread but nannyplumismymum did you ever find a solution I have a similar situation with my daughter who is 5. Thanks so much

I managed to get rid of a couple of warts by just rubbing castor oil into them 2-3 times a day. Took about 2 weeks in total. Apple cider vinegar is another option but that can sting a bit.

Thanks howcomes the main one is on her eyelid so it's hard to put anything topical on it as it will go in her eye 😢

Nannyplumismymum and Roisdo did you ever get rid of flat warts... My children are covered in them
