Warts on sons hands.....spreading

4 replies

Hi
I was just wondering if anyone had any advice on warts 😒my 6 year old son has them on his hands, they are starting to spread, he has 4 in total. One is on his nuckle. We have tried high strength bazooka.....it takes layers off but just won't get rid of it. For the last 5/6 weeks I have been applying banana skin with plasters to each warts when he goes to bed at night, filing the wart with emery an board each night before we apply the banana.

I just rang GP for advice and receptionist said we don't deal with warts anymore?!! No advice nothing more.
So now I don't know what to do as potentially these things will just keep spreading and we will have a major problem 🤷🏼‍♀️. Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

I got the extra strong bazooka and they went with one application for ds. I left two on the back of his finger, which are still there 6 years later. He likes them there, so I haven't done anything about them. I think he named them at one point. Grin

There’s a blue wart solution that works v well. Not licenced for children but available from online pharmacies. I recommend getting some

Ask the pharmacist to take a look and advise.

I just left them alone when my dd had them. They clear up eventually! She had 3 or 4 on both hands.
